Annual Report as a Teacher Artifact
From the UFT:
“Under the teacher evaluation system, teachers have the opportunity to submit up to eight artifacts as a chance to demonstrate their good work throughout the year.
To decide on artifacts, teachers need to think about materials they create during the year that best reflect their skills under the Danielson Framework components in domains 1 and 4. A single artifact can demonstrate skill under multiple components.”
(UFT: Our Rights as Teachers - Teacher Artifactshttp://www.uft.org/our-rights/teacher-evaluation/artifacts)
Your annual report can reflect many of your skills all in one document - make sure you choose to report on metrics that you want to show off.

call customer

Remember to track yourself!A good annual report needs a whole year’s worth of data - that means you need to keep track of what you’re doing over the year!
Don’t just wait until May for data to fall into your lap!
Document everything!Take pictures like the library is your adorable toddler, otherwise you won’t have anything visual at the end of the year.
Make sure you store your pictures in a central location - they’reno good if you can’t find them!
Don’t shortchange goals!
Give yourself all of the
space you need.
Outline action plans as much as you can.
Use this to keep yourself
on track next year!
How can we present these?Less text can
be better! Add some
minimalist color!
Text boxes for everything, always!Play with your word
processor’s features!
Nontraditional Options
Bottom line? It depends on your crowd!

Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, and don’t let the perfect be an enemy of the good.
Let’s keep working on this!
