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.
