  1. Additional Recommendations:
    -Professional evaluations should be completed by at least two supervisors who have observed a teacher during the year (Principal, Assistant Principal, Dean of Faculty, Department Chair);
    -faculty must be given feedback from their evaluations
    -establish procedures for the observer: conduct a pre-observation discussion and a post-observation conference. During the conference the teacher and administrator discuss strengths, areas needing strengthening, and together they consider strategies to improve based upon the criteria in the evaluation.
    -Link the evaluation to professional growth goals so that teachers see a direct relationship between the evaluation and their professional development.
    -when everyone is evaluated using the same system, school leaders are able to identify variations in performance among the teachers because everyone is speaking the same language.
    -the process of observation and evaluation provides teachers with validation and reinforcement, identifies areas for improvement and offers an opportunity for re-direction where necessary.
