Announced Observations Clause Samples
The Announced Observations clause defines the process by which one party formally notifies the other of specific events, conditions, or data points relevant to the agreement. Typically, this involves providing written notice or documentation of certain observations, such as market disruptions, price movements, or other trigger events, within a specified timeframe. By establishing a clear protocol for announcing observations, this clause ensures transparency and timely communication, helping to prevent disputes and misunderstandings regarding the occurrence or recognition of key events under the contract.
Announced Observations i) All non-PTS Educators, Educators teaching under a new license for the first year only, and PTS Educators on Directed Growth or Improvement Plans shall have at least one Announced Observation of a full class period or lesson (or its equivalent for non- teaching Educators).
(a) The Evaluator shall select the date and time of the lesson or activity to be observed, which must be at least two full school days in advance of the observation, and discuss with the Educator any specific goal(s) for the observation.
(b) Within 5 school days of the scheduled observation the Evaluator and Educator shall meet for a pre-observation conference
(1) At the request of the Evaluator, the Educator shall provide a draft of the lesson, student conference, IEP plan or activity prior to the observation.
(2) The Educator will be notified as soon as possible if the Evaluator will not be able to attend the scheduled observation. The observation will be rescheduled with the Educator as soon as reasonably practical.
(c) The Educator will be provided with at least brief written feedback from the Evaluator within 5 school days of the observation. The written feedback shall include any topics the Evaluator will be raising in the subsequent feedback conversation. At the request of the Educator, the post-observation conversation can happen prior to written feedback being received.
(d) Within 5 school days of the observation, the Evaluator and Educator shall meet for a post-observation conversation. This timeframe may be extended due to unavailability on the part of either the Evaluator or the Educator during the 5 days after the observation. All attempts will be made to schedule the post- observation in a timely manner.
(e) Each Evaluator will articulate in writing how they will offer times that they are available for follow-up conversations with Educators. This plan will be given to all Educators they will be evaluating at the beginning of the year. Following the receipt of draft written feedback on an observation, Educators will contact the Evaluator for a 15 – 20 minute time slot to discuss the observation. Evaluators will ensure that there are sufficient time slots available before, during, and after school for these follow up conversations. Educators and Evaluators will work together to set up a mutually convenient time to meet.
