 Using the Teacher Evaluation Rubric, the teacher
shall rate his or her own performance at the
beginning of the year and reflect on his or her
performance throughout the year.
 Teachers own their self-assessment and can
always go in and update it.
 Teachers share their self-assessment as an
artifact of self reflection and it is part of their
conferencing each year with their supervisor.

meet with the teacher to discuss the teacher’s selfassessment based on the Teacher Evaluation Rubric, the
teacher’s most recent professional development plan, and
the lesson(s) to be observed.
 The teacher will provide the principal with a written
description of the lesson(s).
 The goal of this conference is to prepare the principal for the

Evaluation Activities and Teacher Summary Rating From

for STANDARD IV.
 Discuss the sample evidence in each categorical rating from
developing to distinguished. Be sure to address the
following:
