State Criteria and Scoring. A. The eight criteria of the evaluation system include:
1. Centering instruction high expectations for student achievement
2. Demonstrating effective teaching practices
3. Recognizing individual student learning needs and developing strategies to address those needs
4. Providing clear and intentional focus on subject matter content and curriculum
5. Xxxxxxxxx and managing a safe, positive learning environment
6. Using multiple student data elements to modify instruction and improve student learning
7. Communicating and collaborating with parents and the school community.
8. Exhibiting collaborative and collegial practices focused on improving instructional practice and student learning.
B. Criteria Performance Scoring The following four-level rating system will be used to evaluate certificated classroom teachers and describes performance along a continuum that indicates the extent to which the criteria have been met or exceeded. The performance ratings are: • level 1 – unsatisfactory • level 2 – basic • level 3 – proficient • level 4 - distinguished A classroom teacher shall receive one of the four performance ratings for each of the eight criteria.
C. Student growth data that is relevant to the teacher and subject matter must be a factor in the evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures that can include classroom- based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools. Student growth data elements may include the teacher's performance as a member of a grade-level, subject matter, or other instructional team within a school when the use of this data is relevant and appropriate. Student growth data elements may also include the teacher's performance as a member of the overall instructional team of a school when use of this data is relevant and appropriate.
D. Summative Performance Rating A classroom teacher will also receive an overall summative performance rating for the evaluation as a whole. This score is determined by totaling the eight (8) criterion-level scores as follows:

8. Exhibiting collaborative and collegial practices focused on improving instructional practices and student learning A classroom teacher shall receive a summative performance rating for each of the eight (8) state evaluation criteria. The overall summative score is determined by totaling the eight (8) criterion-level scores as follows: Unsatisfactory (1) 8-14 Basic (2) 15-21 Proficient (3) 22-28 Distinguished (4) 29-32 The final score for each criterion will be based on a preponderance of evidence in each criterion. The individual criterion ratings from all eight (8) criteria will be used in achieving the overall “Summative Performance Rating” in the chart above.
