An effective evaluation program is essential to a quality educational program. It is an important tool to determine the current level of a teacher’s performance of the teaching responsibilities. Under Board policy, administrators are charged with the responsibility of evaluating the staff. An evaluation program provides a tool for supervisors who are responsible for making decisions about promotion, demotion, contract extension, contract nonextension, contract renewal or nonrenewal, dismissal and discipline.
This evaluation program is designed to provide an opportunity for staff to set goals and objectives, including plans for professional growth and career opportunities and receive administrative responses to them; to receive peer assistance as appropriate; to have formal and informal classroom observations of licensed employees; to assess performance of other duties and job responsibilities of all staff; to receive verbal and written comments and suggestions for improvement from supervisors; and to have opportunities to make required improvement(s) within specific time lines.
Evaluation of licensed staff shall be conducted to conform with applicable Oregon Revised Statutes and any applicable collective bargaining provisions.
