UPDATE ON THE PQR Alignment to the Mission, Beliefs, and

Division Plan Alignment to the Instructional Framework

21st Century Skills Diversity Rigor/ High Expectations Assessment

Page 3: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Classroom Observations Reaffirmed the use of the Santa Cruz model

of encouraging reflective practice Reaffirm the concept of a “modified clinical

cycle” model for classroom observations. Reaffirmed the importance of walk-through

observations as supplement to and not replacement of the observation cycle.

Page 4: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Proposed Classroom Observations Cycle Probationary teachers will be observed

three times each year. The observations must be done in a

modified clinical cycle with pre-conferences focused on the PQR.

Observations must be complete by February 15.

Page 5: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Classroom Observation Cycle Continued….. Continuing Contract Teachers will be

observed every two years. The observations will be done in a modified

clinical cycle with pre-conference focused on the PQR.

There will be at least two observations in the cycle.

A principal may place a continuing contract teacher on cycle anytime there is a need.

Page 6: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Additional Observations Peer Observations will be offered for

those wishing to have additional feedback

Training will be offered for peer teams in how to conduct a peer clinical cycle.

The Professional Growth Plan Document

Discussion Points:• It has lost its meaning• The CSIP has taken on a larger role• Teachers can only be expected to do so

much• Professional development has shifted

from individual growth to collaborative team growth.

Options for the PGP

1. The PGP document focuses only on the school improvement plan

2. The PGP has a school goal, a technology goal, and a personal goal.

3. The PGP is strictly for personal goal.

Page 9: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Transition Discussion….

Why do we have to have the PGP at all? Can’t we build other process and forms built around the PQR and the clinical cycle that can serve in it’s place?

Page 10: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL1. Teachers receive, review, sign PQR every

year.2. Teachers on observation cycle will have a

planning conference with their supervisor and complete a planning conference form targeting areas of focus for the year.

3. Observation post-conference summary reports will serve as documentation of growth and performance based on pre-conference form.

Page 11: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Committee Recommendations Meets Policy

1. Code requires that all teachers be evaluated every year. Create an all purpose and simple evaluation form based on the PQR.

2. The all purpose form can be used to commend teachers for specific performance on the PQR at any time

3. The all purpose form can be used to notify a teachers when they have not met the expectation of a specific PQR

4. All teachers will receive a form at the mid-year and end of year.

Classroom Observation:Evaluation or Professional Growth?

Developing a Community of Reflective Practitioners

Page 13: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Probationary TeachersClassroom Observation as Formative

Evaluation:• Consistent use of PQR to guide the focus of

classroom observations• Multiple observers to provide perspective and

support.• Implementation of “next steps” closely tied to

mid-year and end of year evaluation.

Page 14: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Continuing Contract TeachersClassroom Observation as Professional

Growth:• Teacher identifies area of focus of the PQR • One observer for the year to provide

continual feedback on growth• Observation reports and next steps not

specifically tied to evaluation.Exception to this norm: Teachers who are NOT

meeting the PQR.

Page 15: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Policy, Practice and Probationary Teachers

1. Probationary teachers will have two observations before December 15 with the second observation serving as a mid-year evaluation report submitted to HR along with the all purpose evaluation form.

2. Probationary teachers will have their third cycle observation between December 15 and February 15 with their observation report completed and submitted to HR.

3. The all purpose evaluation form will be submitted for probationary teachers at the end of the year documenting performance.

Page 16: PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN UPDATE PROPOSALS

Policy, Practice and Continuing Contract Teachers

1. Continuing contract teachers “on observation cycle” will conference with supervisors to focus their professional growth- not as part of the evaluation document unless specifically stipulated by the supervisor.

2. All continuing contract teachers will receive the all purpose evaluation form at the mid-year and end of year documenting performance.

3. Any teacher not meeting or exceeding the PQR will have a conference with the supervisor in order to clearly understand of the expectation for improved performance.
