Making sense of this work!Columbia
I consistently listen to, borrow ideas from and work with others to improve my practice. During this work I have relied heavily on the following people:
Ed Tech – Jacki Sloan to make systems talk to each other.
DOSA Team – Sharing great ideas Garrett Rosa – His crazy Google mind! Visits to other schools/Talks & Walks with peers DoI & Laurie Marcellin, Yvonne Davis, etc… Myla Sheppard – Amazing work over the last two years. My ad team (AP and designee) and teachers My Administrative Assistant – Mitzi Torres
At Columbia, we have broken the evaluation process into several components:
Rollout Calendar Organization & Access of Work Communications with staff Inter rater reliability commitment Time
TODAY’s Focus – Organization & Access of Work
Columbia has dedicated the monthly faculty meetings solely to developing understanding of the evaluation process.
July – August: Self-Evaluation September: TPLP October: Informal Observation Process November: Formal Observation Process December: Mid-Year Review Process January: Mid-Year Review individual feedback
& TPLP updates February, March, April and May topics: TBD
What needs to be organized & have easy access:
Evaluation Components: Self-Assessments, TPLP’s, Artifacts, Informal and Formal Observations, etc…
Evidence of staff practice Building practices that impact evidence/TPLP’s Administrative sharing/collaboration Staff sharing/collaboration Communication Resources, updates, procedures associated with
the evaluation process
