Due this week: Educator Effectiveness Plan

As if you don't have enough going on as we near the end of October, this is a reminder that your Educator Effectiveness Plan is due on Monday, October 31, 2016 to your evaluator. What does that mean?!

Your Educator Effectiveness Plan consists of:

• Student Learning Objective (SLO) - choose baseline data and a subgroup of students, set a goal for what they'll achieve by the end of the year. 
• Professional Practice Goal (PPG) - complete the Self-Review, and choose a component of Danielson's Framework to focus your attention in order to better your own practice. 

If you haven't already, you'll have a meeting soon with your evaluator to go over these goals.

What else happens with Educator Effectiveness this year?

• Observations: Your evaluator will observe you in action a few times this year. One formal, announced, planned observation (45-60 min), one formal, unannounced observation (45-60 min), and at least one drop-in, unannounced observation (10 min). 
• Meetings: You'll meet with your evaluator to talk about these observations and to track progress on your SLO and PPG.
• Collecting Evidence: You'll start to collect artifacts (I can help you!) to show evidence of meeting the standards for teachers as laid out by Danielson's Framework. Evidence of teamwork, lesson and unit planning, and student records are the majority of this, and you're already doing it!
