Multiple Data Sources

Summative ratings are based on multiple data sources.• Observation

• Announced• unannounced

• Documentation• Required Artifacts• Teacher-Selected Artifacts

• Other Sources

• In the last module we collected evidence on Teacher B through classroom observation.

• Today we will add to that through evidence – submitted in the document log– collected by the evaluator

Observation Data

• The document log is an additional source of evidence.

• Review the documentation log. • Note evidence to include for each standard.

– Tool: Summary of Evidence

Document Log

• Evaluators may have data from additional sources (i.e. communications with the teacher, parents, and other interactions with the teacher)

• This data can also be considered when making summative ratings.

Additional Data Sources

• What evidence did you collect from the document log?

• Each group will share out on one standard.
