Goal Setting and Educator Plan• Teachers develop at least one goal (professional practice or

student achievement) that is in alignment with one or both of the indicators that are the focus of the pilot.

• Teachers fill in educator plan form and signs the digital signature.

• Shows up as completed form on principal’s list.• Principal adds in response in response section.• Principal digitally signs.• Teacher is notified of response.

First teachers should choose talent management tasks and they get this screen

TEACHER FILLS IN

When teachers are finished they digitally sign and mark it complete

Evaluator will get this type of message

And it will show up as completed

For evaluators to view it they click on the icon

They will be able to view the completed plan

After they review it they need to fill out the response section

Even though it says educator response this where you fill it in.

Where do we go from here?• It’s great – the evaluator writes that and digitally sign it. Then

the teacher will get a email telling them the evaluator has signed off.

• Maybe the evaluator would like to add or change some of the goals. They will type that into the response section and then digitally sign it. Then the teacher will get a message saying the evaluator has signed off.

• If there were changes requested the teacher who is the “owner” of this form can go back and modify it so that it reflects what the teacher and the evaluator agreed upon even if the form is “digitally signed”.

Observations • Evaluator completes five, 10 minute observations of Educator (10 minute minimum – can be longer).• You can use your IPAD or you can take notes. The form looks

exactly the same on your IPAD as it does on your PC or MacBook.

• If you do it on your IPAD and you are on the Net it will automatically sync. If you do it on your IPAD and you are not on the NET it will sync the next time you open the app connected to the Net.

Where do we go from here..

• The evaluator owns the observation and summative evaluation forms.

• Therefore once the educator digitally signs their response they can not go back and change it.

• But the evaluator can go back and change it if based on the meeting it seems appropriate.

Evidence Collection

• During the Pilot time period, Evaluators will continue to collect evidence to document an Educator’s performance on the two indicators selected for the Pilot (Standards 1-B-1, 2-A-1)

• Evaluators will fill out the “Evaluator Record of Evidence Form” • Educators will fill out the “Educator Collection of Evidence

Form” and attach it to additional evidence or artifacts they wish to submit to document satisfying the criteria for the selected standards.

• You upload attachments of evidence, pictures etc. the same way that you added attachments to the observation.

Evaluator Evidence Collection

Evaluator Evidence Form• DO NOT sign digitally till summative evaluation point.• DO SAVE each time evaluator adds something.• Add attachments the same way as adding attachments to

observations – go to the right, click on the attachment/comment button, select add attachment.

• The evaluator owns this form so they can edit it even if they sign it digitally by mistake ()

Educator Evidence Form• One of these is filled out for every piece of evidence.• Attachments are added the same way they were for adding

attachments to observations.• The educator owns this form. • The educator can digitally sign the form and then still edit it.• Currently there is only one form in the list for the educator.• See the next slide on how to add more forms

Summative Evaluation• After the five observations are completed, the Evaluator will

• Evaluator will select an overall rating (Proficient!)• Evaluator fills out form and digitally signs.• Educator gets notification.• Teacher may fill out an “Educator Response Form” if they wish.• All Pilot Teachers will move to Year 1 of a 2 Year Self-Directed

Plan in 2013-2014.

Summative Online

Where do we go from here• Both evaluator and educator will digitally sign• Evaluator should print off and send hard copy to Kelly Piggot.• If after meeting there needs to be some modification, the

evaluator who owns the form can go in and make those modification.

• We are currently working with Baseline Edge so that any time a form is modified after it being digitally signed all parties are notified by email.
