Timeline for New Teacher Evaluation
The first and second year of teaching can be particularly overwhelming for the new teacher. It is simply not realistic to expect the new teacher to
demonstrate performance across 36 separate indicators. As such, doing an in-depth assessment of the novice educator’s performance on all 36
indicators would not only be overwhelming but likely inaccurate as well. However, events at certain times of the year do allow opportunity to
collect baseline data on performance and provide specific feedback. This specific feedback should be provided by the administrator as well as
the mentor. By focusing on a small number of performances at particular times of the year, it’s possible to accomplish the following:
The novice teacher has a clear sense of expectations connected to certain times/events
The induction process and mentor can offer very targeted support aligned to particular school events the novice teacher is
experiencing
The administrator has a very clear goal of providing support and feedback multiple times throughout the year to the novice
teacher
By the conclusion of the second year, the novice educator has received support, guidance, collaboration and feedback across a
broad set of expectations
