Common use of Evaluation Standards Clause in Contracts

Evaluation Standards. The District and the Association agree to adopt for the purposes of evaluating the instructionally related areas, the California Standards for the Teacher Profession (CSTP). The CSTP provides a common language on teaching that will be used by teachers to prompt reflection about teaching and learning, develop professional goals, and guide, monitor and assess the progress of the unit member’s practice towards their professional goals. Non-permanent teachers will be evaluated on all six (6) standards, while permanent teachers will primarily focus on a single primary standard selected from Standards 1-5. The teacher and the evaluator shall agree upon the primary standard for evaluation. In the event the teacher and the evaluator cannot agree upon the primary standard, the teacher may request that the Superintendent or the Superintendent’s designee meet with the teacher and the evaluator to facilitate the selection of a primary standard.
