The procedures and processes described in this document are built on a framework that is consistent<br />
with the district’s Mission and Strategic Plan Goals and are a component of the district’s ongoing<br />
commitment to ensure quality instruction and improved student learning. The revised system was<br />
prepared over a period of 18 months by the <strong>Teacher</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong> Advisory Committee appointed by the<br />
Superintendent. Committee membership included representation from all related and appropriate<br />
shareholder groups (teachers, principals, assistant principals, district‐level staff, and union<br />
representatives) in the district. We wish to thank all advisory committee members for their<br />
contribution toward bringing the district’s teacher evaluation system into alignment with Florida<br />
Statutes and the requirements described in the 2010 Florida Race to the Top Memo of Understanding.<br />
Members are commended for designing a system that focuses on enhancing the quality of teacher<br />
performance and professional learning and on the enhancement of student achievement in the district<br />
as both relate to the district’s Mission, Strategic Plan Goals, and individual <strong>School</strong> Improvement Plan<br />
Goals. The members of the <strong>Teacher</strong> <strong>Evaluation</strong> Advisory Committee are listed below.<br />
