While school districts all across the state work to establish their new teacher evaluation system, I thought I would share 5 Cs to Success. Today's teachers and students are going through the greatest change in educational history. Through piloting the OTES system the past two school years, listed below is what I believe to keys paramount to your success.
1. Committee
- Representative of all buildings
- Mix of admin and teachers
- Contract language designates
- Recommend plan for Superintendent, Board Approval
2. Communication
- Ongoing and up to date
- Use website, emails etc.
- Use of common message/voice
- People are down on what they are not up on
3. Consistency
- Reason for a strong point #2
- Concerns arise when having more than one evaluator at a building level
- Feel that one evaluator may be easier
- Teacher/Evaluator assignment : Departments to Principal/Asst. Principal
- Teachers will compare
4. Collection
- Subjectivity with evidence
- Etpes document entry
5. Conversation
- Most important beginning part of process
- Pre and Post conferencing
- Listen more than talk - 2 ears only 1 mouth -- hear twice as much as say
- Serving the teachers, and creating teachers-- serving and creating the future
