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

Introduction It is important to recognize that the district’s revised teacher evaluation system is in its initial stage of development and implementation. The system will be monitored to ensure that results in both outcome and impact on employees and student learning are fair, valid and reliable. The system will be adjusted over the next three years to take into account many rule changes that will be made by the Florida State Board of Education and to meet unknown needs related to quality, logic, and equity. The district’s teacher evaluation system is evolutionary in nature and will be phased in over time as the infrastructure necessary to meet Florida Statutes 1012.34 and 1008.22 is developed and implemented. The system is indeed a work in progress with full implementation for all instructional staff targeted for 2014‐1015. The system will be reviewed annually (by the Teacher Evaluation Advisory Committee) for possible changes, additions and/or deletions that might be needed based on program evaluations pertaining to its fidelity of implementation, impact on teacher and administrator practices, and its impact on student performance. There are several non‐traditional instructional positions for which system processes will be adjusted throughout to ensure the inclusion of a student performance component and an appropriate rating scale for determining an overall performance rating. Advisory committees made up of all appropriate shareholder groups will begin work in 2011‐2012 to examine and to completely revise the evaluation systems processes for these instructional non‐classroom teaching positions in accordance with Florida Statute 1012.34 and any related State Board of Education Rules that are written. 6
