According to the Joint Faculty Association (JFA) Procedural Agreement (section 14.1), “evaluation of a teacher shall be conducted for the primary purpose of improving instruction... [Feedback] should be constructive and accompanied by suggestions for improvement (pg. 25)."

To meet this end, District 228's Performance Evaluation Plan will:

provide a framework for professional practice that develops a shared understanding of the complexities of teaching that supports a collaborative culture within our educational community which leads to student achievement;
provide a common language among teachers and observers;
incorporate the use of self-assessment and self-reflection throughout the evaluation process;
structure professional conversation around best practices in teaching and learning;
support District 228's mission, vision, overarching understandings, learning principles and teaching practices;
promote professional growth through a formative examination of practice; and
structure training programs, such as District 228's Induction and Mentoring Programs, to the Danielson Framework in order to support the development of our non-tenured teachers.
