Introduction to the CLASS Keys Teacher Evaluation System
Process Guide Pages 7 – 9
The CLASS Keys Evaluation System is designed to:
•Evaluate classroom teachers using qualitative rubrics to assess their instructional practices.
•Evaluate classroom teachers on the basis of the academic gains of their students.
•Engage teachers in their own assessment and professional growth.
•Increase the quantity and quality of feedback that teachers receive from their evaluator(s).
•Use an array of evidence collected over time to assess teacher performance and student learning.
The Five Strands of CLASS Keys

ASSESSMENT - The collecting and analyzing of student performance data to identify patterns of achievement and underachievement in order to design and implement appropriate instructional interventions.

• Self Assessment/Reflection:
Teachers self-assess and reflect on their
performance of the elements.
• Professional Growth Plan:
Teachers design a PGP to improve their
performance on the elements.
• Pre-Evaluation Conference:
Teachers and evaluators meet to review
the PGP, set student achievement goals,
and clarify expectations of the elements
and duties and responsibilities.
Expectations of the Evaluation ProcessExpectations of the Evaluation Process
Review Elements and Evidence Review Teacher Duties and Responsibilities
The teacher is evaluated on all elements using multiple data sources collected during the school year. The elements and evidence are reviewed using the Formative Analysis for CLASS Keys™ form. Data sources for these elements are discussed by the teacher and the evaluator during the Pre-Evaluation Conference.
The teacher is evaluated on the Georgia Teacher Duties and Responsibilities (GTDR) throughout the year. Additional items may be added at the district and/or school level prior to or during the Pre-Evaluation Conference. The evaluator and the teacher review the duties and responsibilities using the Georgia Teacher Duties and Responsibilities form.
Review Professional Growth Plan
Set the Student Achievement Goal(s)
The teacher submits a draft of the Professional Growth Plan (PGP) that focuses on selected CLASS Keys™ elements. The evaluator reviews and approves the PGP during or shortly after the Pre-Evaluation Conference.
The evaluator and teacher select the appropriate Student Achievement element(s) and write goal(s) for measuring teacher impact on student achievement.

Evidence Evidence Collection Collection
PhasePhase
• Informal Observations:
Evaluators conduct two, 5 to 15-minute,
unannounced classroom observations to
assess a few elements.
• Formal Observation:
Evaluators conduct a 30 to 50-minute
announced classroom observation to
assess as many elements as possible.
• Other Evidence Collection:
Evaluators collect evidence from sources
such as conferences, meetings, planning
and professional learning sessions,
examination of student and adult
products, etc.

Formative Analysis for CLASS Keys
Evidence may be collected during classroom observations, conferences, meetings, examination of artifacts, etc. Any element scored at the “Not Evident” level must be addressed through specific feedback on teacher performance. Specific feedback on any other level of performance is encouraged, but not required.

• Element/Strand Evaluation: Evaluators review the evidence collected and score the teacher’s performance on the rubrics.
When the element scores are aggregated, all strands must be scored at least at the EMERGING level.
• GTDR Evaluation: The reviewed performance on all duties and responsibilities must be satisfactory to receive an overall SATISFACTORY scoring.
• Overall Evaluation: Both sections, the Strands and GTDR, must receive a SATISFACTORY scoring for a teacher to receive a satisfactory annual evaluation.
