Observation Procedures. At the beginning of the evaluation cycle, a pre-evaluation conference will be held to review the evaluation form, expectations, and to arrange the observation schedule. At the end of the evaluation cycle, a conference will be held to review the “Evaluation Report”, which will be completed by March 15. Social workers will be evaluated using the Social Worker Staff Evaluation Form.
Observation Procedures. 14.6.2.1. Nothing precludes evaluators from carrying out their normal supervisory responsibilities by observing the evaluatee's total job performance at any time. When classroom observations are being used as assessment techniques for a unit member whose performance is considered effective, the evaluator should notify the evaluatee when the observation is to be conducted, the method of observation, and who will do the observation.
14.6.2.2. The evaluatee shall provide the observer(s) with a brief outline of the lesson being observed and the assessment or observation method to be used to measure student achievement.
14.6.2.3. A written statement concerning each observation being used as an assessment technique will be prepared by the observer(s) within a reasonable period of time (approximately ten [10] workdays) and attached to the evaluation worksheet. A copy will be given to the evaluatee.
14.6.2.4. Upon receiving the observation statement from the evaluator, the unit member may attach a written response.
Observation Procedures. 9.4.1 Evaluations will be based on observations made in the employee’s primary working environment. Observation(s) is done by either a service of unscheduled (informal) drop-in visits or by a scheduled (formal) observation for the major portion of an entire period of instruction or equivalent duration.
9.4.2 If requested, by either the employee or the evaluator, a scheduled observation shall be preceded by a pre-observation conference where the employee and evaluator will discuss the objectives, strategies and expected outcomes of the observation. The employee or evaluator shall request this conference at least three (3) working days prior to the observation.
9.4.3 A post observation conference shall normally be held not more than ten (10) working days after the observation. When practicable, the evaluator should provide the employee with a draft copy of the observation prior to this conference. Mutual review of this draft provides an additional opportunity to ensure an accurate, comprehensive, and meaningful evaluation. If the conference is not held within ten (10) working days due to the unavailability of either the evaluator or employee, the employee has the option of accepting the observation as written or nullifying the observation and requesting a new observation.
9.4.4 If after discussing the observation with the employee, the evaluator determines that there is inaccurate information included in the report, the evaluator shall revise the report. After receiving the observation report, the employee may submit a written response to be included with the revised report.
9.4.5 If a teaching employee receives an unsatisfactory observation, the employee shall have the right to an additional observation in a different class subject or period which the employee is currently assigned to teach of the employee’s choice and/or an observation by a concurrent evaluator. Additional observations may occur on an as-needed basis. A teacher who receives an unsatisfactory observation shall be given specific written recommendations to help improve his/her performance. Unsatisfactory observations with performance areas needing improvement may result in an unsatisfactory summative evaluation.
9.4.6 If a non-teaching employee receives an unsatisfactory observation, the employee shall be given specific written recommendations to help improve his/her performance. The employee shall have the right to an additional observation in another job responsibility of the employee’s cho...
Observation Procedures. 8.8.6.1 Each Summative Track employee shall be formally observed for the number of times per year identified in Section 8.8.3 above. Generally, formal observations shall be limited to these observations, except in the case where the evaluator believes additional assistance is warranted or the employee requests additional feedback.
8.8.6.2 Following each formal observation, in narrative form, the evaluator shall within five (5) workdays, document the data and evaluative judgments, if any, using the appropriate performance criteria. The date and duration of the observation in minutes shall be a part of the final Evaluation Report. The employee will be given, if requested, a copy of the observation notes or documentation.
8.8.6.3 A post-observation conference will be held after each formal observation. The employee shall initial a printed copy of the evaluation report to indicate that the employee has reviewed the observation notes at the conference. The initials of the employee do not, however, necessarily imply that the employee agrees with the contents of the observation. The employee may submit signed comments concerning the employee’s observation. These signed comments shall be made a part of the final observation report and placed in the employee’s personnel file.
8.8.6.4 Observation(s) shall be conducted openly and with the knowledge of the employee. No mechanical or electrical device shall be used in any classroom for the purpose of listening or recording the procedures in any class, unless mutually agreed upon by the employee and evaluator.
8.8.6.5 The evaluator may designate other certificated administrators to assist in the observation and provide evaluation data to the supervisor. In the event another certificated staff member in the bargaining unit offers information relevant to the evaluation, the information will not become a part of the district record without independent confirmation or investigation by the evaluator.
8.8.6.6 In addition to the formal observations required herein, the evaluator may make informal observations or collect other supportive data as may be pertinent to the established criteria at any time during the school year. Such data shall be used in an employee’s evaluation only with prior notice to the employee.
Observation Procedures. 11.4.1 For each permanent teacher, the evaluation procedures shall include one scheduled observation of no less than thirty (30) minutes. If a teacher receives a less than satisfactory observation in any area, more formal observations may be scheduled to review and assist remediation in the deficient area(s).
11.4.2 Evaluation procedures for teachers not in permanent status shall include at least two observations of no less than thirty (30) minutes. The first observation shall be held within the first sixty (60) calendar days of the teacher’s instructional year.
11.4.3 Observation reports will be provided in writing within five (5) working days of the observation.
11.4.4 Following classroom observations, and after the observation write-up is provided to the teacher, the administrator’s conference with the teacher will be scheduled and held within two working days.
Observation Procedures. The procedures for the Formal Observations of Teachers shall be as follows:
Observation Procedures. 5.2.1 At least two (2) observations for career teachers or four (4) observations for probationary teachers (See Appendix D-1) shall be required in the formal evaluation of all employees. Such observation shall involve a minimum of twenty (20) minutes to do a thorough, fair, and equitable evaluation.
5.2.2 A minimum 24-hour advance notice shall be given for the first formal observation. The second observation will be determined by the building principal. In case of an emergency or other problem that might arise, such notice could be waived by agreement.
5.2.3 An observation conference will be held within five (5) school days with the building principal and teacher.
Observation Procedures. 5.1.1 Should either the teacher or the evaluator feel a conference is necessary to discuss the TLE Formative Review Form, one will be scheduled at the earliest convenient time.
5.1.2 Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the TLE Formative Review, the teacher may submit a response and have it attached to the review.
5.1.3 One (10 copy of the TLE Formative Review shall be retained by the teacher. One (1) copy shall be retained by the evaluator for ultimate placement in the teacher’s personnel file, and one (1) copy (anonymous as to teacher’s name) shall be forwarded to TLE data processing for research. Any and all other copies will be destroyed.
5.1.4 The teacher may request additional classroom observations if he/she feels it necessary. Such additional observations shall be conducted in accordance with this article. ARTICLE V PROCESS OF EVALUATION
Observation Procedures. For the purpose of evaluation, each employee shall be directly observed by his/her evaluator twice in the performance of his/her assigned duties.
Observation Procedures. 1. At least one observation shall be for a continuous length of time no shorter than 30 minutes and shall be conducted at a mutually agreed upon date and time. No observation shall be conducted during the first 20, or last 20 days of the contract year, except by mutual agreement. No observation shall be conducted the day before or after a day of vacation or holiday, except by mutual agreement.

The pre-observation conference must be at least two days prior to the observation. The post-observation conference must be no later than 5 days following the observation.
3. The evaluator’s written observation comments shall be reviewed at the post-conference. The evaluator shall sign and date the comments. The teacher shall sign as having been given the opportunity to review the comments and date the comment sheet. The teacher’s signature does not necessarily mean agreement with the comments. The teacher shall be provided a copy of the observation comments.
4. A classroom observation shall not be considered a meeting for purposes of representation.
5. Nothing shall preclude additional informal observations of the teacher’s performance.
