Framework for Evaluations

Back

 

 The Tennessee Framework for Evaluation is the required assessment component for all Hickman County teachers. This state model provides a comprehensive picture of the performance and effectiveness of educators with their students, as well as a focus for future growth.

  • All Hickman County teachers without a Professional license and/or tenure must be observed three (3) times a year using the Frameworks for Evaluation. 
  • Hickman County Board Policy and Tennessee law requires teachers with a Professional license to have completed two evaluation cycles during the 10 year period of the license using the Framework for Evaluation.  In September 2007, Tennessee Code Annotated added a new element--Instructional Assessment Walk-throughs:  "Principals are to conduct a performance assessment two times within a five year period for each teacher in the principal's school."  This instructional walk-through assessment is designed to incorporate the domains of the Framework and collects data over time on individual teachers. 
Who must be evaluated?
All classroom teachers, including special needs teachers, vocational teachers, and specialist area teachers such as art, PE, or music teachers, as well as Library Media Specialist, Counselors, psychologists, etc.

What evaluation model must be used?
The State Framework for Evaluation and Professional Growth must be used according to state law and State Board of Education Policy.

How often must a teacher be evaluated?
A teacher with an Apprentice License must be evaluated every year.  The apprentice teacher moves to a professional license after having taught 3 years, which is the same time the teacher is eligible to receive tenure.

A teacher with a Professional License must be evaluated twice in the 10 year life of the license.

What constitutes a complete evaluation?

  • Apprentice Teachers, year 1 & 2: minimum of 3 observations per year with feedback and accompanying documentation.   

  • Apprentice Teachers, year 3: minimum of 2 observations per year with feedback and accompanying documentation.                  

  • Professional Level Teachers: minimum of 2 observations with accompanying documentation (one each 5-years).

How do we evaluate Library Media Specialists, Counselors, School Psychologists, Social Workers, etc?
These educators are evaluated through the Special Groups Model and the Library Media Specialist Model.
