eq-ees-teacher-evaluation

The second year of teaching is organized in
similar fashion. The timeframes on this table
begin with the summer prior to the second year
of teaching and extend through to the summer
following the second year of teaching. This
encompasses all of the required two years of
mentoring that is to be provided to all new
teachers.
Each table contains 8 separate timeframes. Each
timeframe contains anywhere between 2 to 7
Quality Indicators as the particular focus during
the indicated timeframe. In this way, new
teachers are focusing on a defined set up
performances within each specified timeframe.
The selected indicators are suggested based on
ordinary events that occur in a typical school
year. There is flexibility to substitute indicators
based on the unique characteristics of a
particular district and/or school. What is most
important is ensuring that baseline data on
performance is collected on the new teacher;
that the new teacher receives feedback on their
performance from both the mentor and
administrator; and that this occurs without being
an overwhelming process.
