must remain unchanged until the next school year. Strategies and activities for that goal can be modified. Observation The observation process is one source of evidence to determine teacher effectiveness that includes supervisor and peer observation for each certified teacher. Both peer and supervisor observations will use the same instruments. The supervisor observation will provide documentation and feedback to measure the effectiveness of a teacher’s professional practice. Only the supervisor observation will be used to inform and calculate a summative rating. Peer observation will only be used for formative feedback on teaching practice in a collegial atmosphere of trust and common purpose. NO summative ratings will be given by the peer observer. The rationale for each type of observation is to encourage continued professional learning in teaching and learning through critical reflection. Observation Model Required The observation model must fulfill the following minimum criteria: Four (4) observations in the summative cycle. A minimum of 3 observations conducted by the supervisor and 1 observation conducted by the peer. The required peer observation must occur in the final year of the cycle. Final observation is conducted by the supervisor and is a full observation. All observations must be documented in CIITS. The Progressive Model (3 and 1 model) Observers will conduct three mini observations of approximately 20-30 minutes each. Because these are shorter sessions, the observer will make note of the components observed in order to identify “look fors” in the next mini observation session. The final observation is a formal observation consisting of a full class or lesson observation. All of these observations shall occur in the summative year. Observation Conferencing Required Observers will adhere to the following observation conferencing requirements Conduct observation conference within five (5) working days.
