Applicability and Evaluation Cycle Sample Clauses

Applicability and Evaluation Cycle. This evaluation system only applies to classroom teachers, specifically those staff with an assigned group of students who provide academically focused instruction and grades for students. The term “classroom teacher” does not include ESAs, Counselors, librarians, media specialists, TOSAs, Instructional Coaches, Curriculum Specialists, and other bargaining unit members who do not work with regularly recurring and specifically defined groups of students. Those bargaining unit members who do not meet this definition will remain under the previous evaluation system, as defined in another section of this agreement. A comprehensive evaluation must be completed for classroom teachers who are provisional employees; any classroom teacher who received a summative evaluation performance rating of Unsatisfactory or Basic in either of the previous two school years; and all other classroom teachers at least once every four years. All other teachers are eligible to be on a focused evaluation. A classroom teacher shall be transferred from a focused evaluation to a comprehensive evaluation at the request of the teacher, or at the direction of the teacher’s evaluator. Such request or direction must be received prior to December 1.
