At least one observation of the beginning teacher will be conducted by the evaluator in
each of the first and second years of their profession.
The teacher may be asked to provide additional supporting documents/artifacts to
verify his/her work under the 8 (eight) Iowa Teaching Standards. The evaluator will
determine on a case-by-case basis the amount of other artifacts/documentation
required of the teacher. The professional portfolio is no longer a requirement.
Prior to the last sixty (60) days of the beginning teacher’s first year, the evaluator
will complete a summative assessment of the teacher’s performance to that point in the
Iowa Teaching Standards.
The evaluator should meet with the teacher during either December or January of
the teacher’s second year of teaching to discuss their performance in the eight teaching
standards.
At the end of the second year, the evaluator will complete a State Summative
Evaluation of the teacher’s performance in the eight (8) Iowa Teaching Standards.
Teachers in a recommended third year or coming from out of state and placed on an
initial license by the BOEE will be evaluated with the same process as those completing
their 2nd year.
