Common use of Supervision/Evaluation Procedures Clause in Contracts

Supervision/Evaluation Procedures. The primary purpose of the supervision and evaluation process is to support professional growth in order to provide the highest quality instruction for the students of our community. A purposeful evaluation system measures teaching outcomes, not simply teaching behavior. Evaluations that are well designed and integrated with curriculum and professional standards can accomplish more than assuring basic competence. They can help states and districts measure the effectiveness of teachers at various points in their careers, identify highly skilled teachers, offer specific recommendations to improve teaching, inform professional development, and demonstrate accountability for student achievement. State policymakers should treat teacher evaluations as an integrated component of a comprehensive strategy to improve overall teaching quality.
