This pre-observation conference will be held two (2) school days prior to the first formal observation. A date and time in which the second formal observation will take place will be identified, but no pre-observation conference is required.

If in the course of these informal visits a concern is noted, it should be brought to the teacher’s attention within 5 work days. If a teacher’s assignment is in whole or in part non-instructional, i.e., counselor, the evaluation process and requirements, including classroom observations, shall be modified to take into account the nature of the teacher’s duties and the teacher’s need to maintain confidentiality and rapport with the students. At least two (2) formal observations, at least sixty (60) days apart, each probationary year will be held and the annual teacher evaluation will include these observations and the IDP outcomes. At least two (2) formal observations, at least sixty (60) days apart, will be held for a tenure teacher and the annual teacher evaluation will include these observations. Evaluations will be conducted by a district administrator.

Two (2) copies of the written evaluation shall be submitted to the teacher at the time of the conference, one (1) copy to be signed by the teacher and returned to the Administration, and the other copy to be retained by the teacher. In the event that the teacher feels that his evaluation is incomplete or unjust, he/she may put his/her objections in writing and have them attached to the evaluation report to be placed in his/her personnel file.
E. If it becomes clearly evident that the services rendered by a tenure teacher is becoming progressively less satisfactory with the passage of time and/or if it is determined at the time of evaluation that such teacher's service is unsatisfactory, the administrator shall notify the teacher, in writing that such condition(s) exist and shall direct the teacher to take the specific, constructive, stated action deemed necessary to improve the quality of service rendered to the school district.

Nothing contained in the teacher's file shall be used against a teacher without the prior knowledge of the teacher.
TEACHER EVALUATION AND PROGRESS. The parties recognize the importance to the educational program and curriculum of a procedure for assisting in evaluating the progress and professional abilities of both newly employed and experienced personnel. Evaluation should be directed toward maintaining and improving the quality of instruction and curriculum provided to district students and to help the teacher succeed in respective assignments in furtherance of that goal. The following procedure has been developed to accomplish our stated purposes. Probationary teachers will be evaluated annually. Tenure teachers will be evaluated at least once every three years.

In the course of the regular evaluation process, all monitoring or observation of the work of a teacher shall be conducted openly and with full knowledge of the teacher.

This pre-observation conference shall take place not more than ten (10) work days before the scheduled visitation, unless otherwise mutually agreed. After each observation there will be a post-observation conference to review what was recorded during the observation. The observation forms shall be dated and signed by the teacher at the time of the observation conference. The teacher’s signature shall be interpreted to mean knowledge of rather than agreement with the contents. The teacher will also have on opportunity to present other information that will assist the administrator in determining whether the evaluation standards are being met. At this time the administrator should indicate areas for which they feel they need more information prior to completing the evaluation docume...
