The evaluation process is unique for each district and is governed by a contract or some other binding agreement. This section of the tutorial will handle the process so that all schools can use this information regardless of their specific contractual guidelines.
There are three main steps to the formal evaluation process:
- Pre-Observation
- Observation
- Post-Observation
Let it be known that educational practice is to make formal observations be a productive tool for helping teachers become more effective (Hopkins, 2005). Also, all parties must abide by contractual guidelines, which must be known by both the administrator and the teacher. This knowledge will benefit the complete process.
A sample evaluation form has been provided (BPSS, n.d.).
