Teacher Appraisal Process |
|
|
Research on
Teacher Appraisal |
| “If the education profession is
to flourish, and if schools are to be a vital force in society, it is
necessary to rebuild the school into a lifelong learning laboratory, not
only for the children, but for the teachers as well. It is a matter of generating a rich environment in which every
educator becomes a student of education.” |

|

Appraisal Systems: |

reflection |

The
Observation Model (SSOI)
(Annual Contract, Plan A or C) |
The Collaborative Professional Development Model
(Prof. Services Contract, Plan C) |
| |
|
Regardless of the
model selected, all teachers are required by the DOE to submit a completed
Professional Development Plan |
| |
|
Professional
Development Plans |
| Teachers who select the observation model
must also submit a Professional Development Plan. (State Statute 231.600) |
| Professional Development Plans will follow
the timelines of the Collaborative Professional Development Model. |
| Professional Development Plans will meet
the criteria of the Collaborative Professional Development Model. |
|

Teachers are encouraged to set high goals but
are not penalized for not reaching their goals. This applies to both
appraisal models. |
