Dear Administrators,
Thank you for your patience in regards to teacher evaluations during this time of change and uncertainty. Many have asked what will be the next steps in the evaluation process. In order to help relieve the stress for both administrators and teachers the following changes will be made, effective immediately. Please contact Rebecca Lee with all questions and concerns at rebecca.lee@jordandistrict.org or (801) 567-8369. Thank you for all your continued help and support.
Career Educators on Full – Not Completed Yet
Career educators who are a full cycle for the 2019-2020 school year and have not been through the evaluation process, or have begun but not finished one or more pieces of the process (missing an in classroom observation, interview), will be placed on an interim.
Action Required: Administrators will need to contact all career teachers and have them
complete the interim on JPLS. This will include the beginning of the year activities and then the end of the year reflection. What will need to be completed by the teacher: three goals, self-evaluation, reflection on all three goals. Lists will be updated to reflect the change.
Provisional Educators
All provisional educators that have already had one full evaluation will be considered complete. If you have a provisional educator that has not yet received a full evaluation we will place them on a full Teacher Specialist evaluation on JPLS to complete the one full required evaluation. Lists will be updated to reflect this change.
Action Required: Notify any provisional that have not been through one cycle and let them know they need to complete the teacher specialist online. Note: Teacher Specialist evaluations will need to be manually added and may take until Monday, March 30th to appear.
Educators Currently on an Interim
Educators currently on an interim will have no change. Please remind these teachers to complete their reflection piece so that they may be acknowledged by the assigned administrator.
Action Required: Send out reminder emails to teachers on interims reminding them to complete the reflection piece of the interim.
Note: Each administrator will receive an email with a list of changes for their schools by Monday, March 30, 2020. It will indicate who they need to contact in regards to the above changes.
