CLS Evaluation System

State Requirements

In July 2013, the state is requiring all schools to adopt an evaluation system for their district. The state is requiring that all teachers have two formal observations no matter their contracts as well as two formal walk-throughs. Those teachers that are on limited contracts are required three formal observation.

CLS Evaluation System Origin

Because Clearview Local Schools is a Race to the Top district, we wrote in our scope of work that we would design, pilot and implement our own evaluation system. According to our timeline, 2012-13 would be our pilot year and 2013-14 we would have full implementation with minor adjustments.
 
In May 2012, Fairport Harbor was invited to our school where they presented their evaluation system that they designed and were currently piloting.
 
In the summer of 2012, 9 teachers and 1 administrator sat down to design an evaluation system with our teachers in mind the would align what the state was looking for with the Marzano Protocols.
 
We came up with the Clearview Local Schools Teacher Growth Model. With this model, teachers will be able to provide the necessary evidence to show their growth and the hardwork that is put in each day.
 

Our Model


This model starts with the teacher recording a lesson that they taught, evaluating their own personal areas of strength and weakness and submitting them to the Administrator. The Administrator would then watch the video, rating on the rubric a score that the teacher would have received. This first score is formative to help guide the teachers decisions on what to work on for the school year. The administrator would look at the goals and together with the teacher decide on the goals for the year to show teacher growth. The teacher would also select which student growth measures they would like to use to measure the 50% student growth that the state requires.
 
The teacher would then build a portfolio during the course of the school year, gathering evidence that supports the teacher growth that they had selected to work on. At this time, the Administrators will also be conducting formal walk-throughs that would be included in your portfolio.
 
Depending on the teacher's contract, those with limited contracts will receive an addition evaluation.
 
At the end of the year, teachers will then choose to record another lesson or ask their Administrator to come in for a live evaluation. In the post-conference of this final evaluation, the Administrator will give a score from the rubric and a score on student growth will be decided from the portfolio. Teachers will receive a score then out of 100 that will decided which rating and plan the teacher will be on for the following year.
 
 

Evaluation Documents

To be used when watching your video.
This form is used to establish what goals the teacher will be working on for the year and what student growth measures will be used.
This is the rubric that the evaluator will be using to decide the score for teacher performance.
This form is used to tabulate the final score that the teacher would receive as well as the action plan for the following school year.
