Southside Christian School - Administrators
ABC Christian SchoolEvaluation of Instruction Plan & ProcedurePurposeThe purpose of evaluation of instruction at ABC Christian School is to continually evaluate and improve the skill and instructional quality of each teacher. Principals, with the assistance of department heads and other designated administrators, have the responsibility to evaluate and promote the growth and development of each teacher in their charge (Hebrews 13:17). They are to carry out their responsibilities in a gentle manner, not ‘lording it over’ their teachers (1 Peter 5:1, 2). Professional development is at the heart of formative instructional evaluation as we endeavor to develop long-term master teachers.Annual Evaluation ScheduleDuring the first month of each new school year, each teacher will establish professional and personal goals and submit them to their principal for approval (Appendix A). These goals shall include professional development and personal growth plans and will be used by the principal throughout the year as a component of the summative evaluation process.Throughout the school year, principals, along with department heads and designated administrators, will conduct formal (Appendix B) and informal (Appendix C) classroom observations formatively to evaluate instructional effectiveness. By mid-year, each teacher will have received a minimum of one formal observation. When necessary, a teacher may be placed on probationary status at this time until deficiencies are corrected (Appendix E). Contracts may be issued or withheld based upon the mid-year evaluation.Formative EvaluationThe primary goal of formative evaluation is improved classroom instruction that produces a quality education experience for each student. Formative evaluation is designed to encourage professional growth for the teacher and to promote teamwork among the teacher, his/her principal, and the department head. Informal and formal observations in the classroom are critical for the formative evaluation process.Principals, with the assistance of department heads and other designated administrators, are tasked with the responsibility to observe classroom instruction. Informal observations are conducted at will and verbal and/or written feedback is encouraged (Appendix C). Formal observations are scheduled in advance and begin with a pre-observation conference (Appendix D) to review the lesson plan, curriculum guide, syllabus, instructional strategies, assessment methodologies, etc. The formal observation itself is generally designed to be an affirmation that the teacher is able to implement the teaching plan successfully. During the formal observation, the observer completes the Formative Performance Report (see Appendix B). He/she then schedules a follow-up conference with the observed teacher to discuss and review the observation experience. Copies of the completed form are provided to the teacher, and are placed in the teacher’s professional development file.Unscheduled, informal observations will occur throughout the year, giving administrators an ongoing sense of what is happening in the classroom and as an encouragement to the teacher. These unplanned visits will give the students and teachers a sense of accountability and will serve as part of the formative and summative process.Summative Evaluation The goal of the summative evaluation process is to appraise each teacher’s professional performance and instructional effectiveness through a broad variety of criteria. This evaluation assesses the teacher’s performance according to the Teacher Job Description (Appendix G). All formative evaluations (informal and formal) are considered in the total summative evaluation process. The Summative Performance Report (Appendix F) is completed, reviewed with the teacher, and placed by the principal in the teacher’s professional development file at the end of each school year.Appendix AGoal CheckPhilosophy:Before an employee’s performance can be evaluated, there must be specific performance standards in place. The purpose of the goal check is simply to provide an avenue to encourage continued growth and to discuss areas of weakness based on the goals that have been given.Procedures:Goals are set by the beginning of the school year. By mid-January, managers are to schedule a meeting with each employee to review the goals that were previously submitted. By mid-May, the end of the year results and an explanation should be completed. The final goal check should be copied and placed in the employee’s personnel file.DEVELOPMENTAL GOALS TO BE ACHIEVEDEmployee’s Name: ________ _______________Date of mid-year check ______________ Date of end of year check_________________GoalsMid Year Check(State to what extent goals have been accomplished)Projected Completion DateEnd of Year Results Achieved(State to what extent goals were accomplished, how well, etc.)Explanation(State if goals were fully achieved according to schedule and if not, why)I have met with the above employee and discussed the goals (listed above) that were previously set.
