Scheduled Observations Clause Samples

Scheduled Observations. The evaluator shall conduct two scheduled observations which comply with the minimum time requirements set forth in the law for observing professional practice relevant to the instructional framework. A pre-observation conference for the second observation may be cancelled by mutual agreement of the teacher and evaluator. After each observation, the evaluator shall promptly document and share the result with the teacher as required by law.

Scheduled Observations. A minimum of two (2) formal observations shall be conducted to support each performance assessment. A formal observation shall last a minimum of thirty (30) minutes. If after the two (2) observations, the results are conflicting, a third (3rd) observation may be requested by the teacher.

Scheduled Observations. 1. For all employees on Comprehensive Evaluation, the evaluator shall conduct two (2) observations of at least thirty (30) minutes each. 2. One scheduled observation shall occur within the first semester and the second scheduled observation shall occur within the second semester. 3. For provisional employees, the evaluator shall make at least one scheduled observation within the first ninety (90) calendar days of employment. Provisional employees in their third year of employment shall receive three (3) thirty (30)-minute observations, two of which are scheduled. 4. Within three (3) days following the observation, the evaluator will hold a post-observation conference with the employee. Within five (5) days following the post-observation conference, the evaluator shall provide a written report to the employee.

Scheduled Observations. The evaluator shall conduct two scheduled observations which comply with the minimum time requirements set forth in the law for observing professional practice. a) Prior to the first observation the employee and evaluator shall meet to discuss the professional performance to be observed in the first observation. b) A pre-observation conference for the second observation shall occur unless cancelled by mutual agreement of the employee and evaluator. c) After each observation, the evaluator shall promptly document and share the result with the employee as required by law. A post-observation meeting to review the evaluator’s observation and to discuss the employee’s performance shall occur unless cancelled upon mutual agreement of the employee and the evaluator. If there is an area of concern, the evaluator will identify specific concerns for the applicable criteria and provide possible solutions to remedy the concern in writing. d) Additional observations may occur as determined necessary by the evaluator or at the request of the certificated support personnel. Informal observations are not required to be pre-scheduled. The evaluator shall promptly document and share a report of such observations with the employee as required by law. If there is an area of concern based upon any such informal observation, the employee shall be notified in writing in order for that evidence to be used in the evaluation process. Pre- and post- observation conferences for these additional observations are optional at the request of either the employee or evaluator. Department or professional meetings may be used for Informal Observations. e) In the event any observation report indicates the employee has serious performance deficiencies in one (1) or more areas defined in the evaluation criteria, the evaluator shall include expectations for improvement. f) The final formal observation shall occur prior to May 1. g) A final, written evaluation reflecting all observations and other supporting documents used during the evaluation process shall be completed for each employee by the evaluator, discussed with the employee, and signed prior to June 1.

Scheduled Observations. At the pre-observation meeting, each evaluating team member will schedule with the evaluatee the classes or services that will be observed. During the meeting, the evaluating team members will determine which team member observes which class, and when (date and time) the evaluator will observe the class. No evaluator will observe any classes or service without having scheduled that observation in advance. Observations will not take place during a scheduled examination date. Observations requiring a meeting between the observer and evaluatee to discuss the contents of the class/service to be observed (see Appropriate Observation form) may take place at the pre-observation meeting or at a meeting between the observer and evaluatee. In either instance, such a meeting will be scheduled at the pre-observation meeting.

Scheduled Observations. The evaluator shall conduct at least two (2) scheduled observations of at least thirty (30) minutes. One observation shall occur during the first school semester and the second observation shall occur during the second school semester.

Scheduled Observations a. The first of at least two (2) prearranged formal observations for each employee shall be conducted within the first sixty (60) days, unless a mutual agreement between the teacher and evaluator provides alternative timelines. The teacher may request additional observations. The total annual observation time cannot be less than sixty (60) minutes. At least one scheduled observation shall not be less than 30 minutes in length unless a shorter observation time is mutually agreed upon. An employee in the third year of provisional status shall be observed at least three (3) times and the total observation time for the school year shall not be less than ninety minutes (RCW 28A.405.100). b. The observations will occur no later than ten (10) days after the pre- observation meeting. c. Observations will not take place on half, early release, or late start days, the day before winter or spring break, and on days of an assembly or a modified schedule, unless otherwise agreed to by the employee. d. The evaluator will prepare an observation report for each observation and provide a copy to the employee within five (5) working days. An evaluator may request an extension of the report deadline due to extenuating circumstances. The request will include a specified number of days. e. The teacher may provide additional evidence to aid in the assessment of his or her professional performance against the instructional framework rubric, especially for those criteria not observed in the classroom. (WAC 392.191A.130) f. The second of two (2) formal prearranged observations will occur no sooner than six weeks after the first formal observation so that reasonable time can be provided for continuing professional growth, unless a mutual agreement between the teacher and evaluator provides alternative timelines.
