It will be the responsibility of the teacher to contact the principal to clarify any questions on the walk through observations recorded on the form. The walk through will not be part of a formal evaluation. The principal can change from performing a walk through to a formal observation indicated by the length of time spent in the classroom (a walk through will be 10 minutes or less and the form will be on a light colored paper, a formal observation will be longer than 10 minutes and be written on a writing pad.) The agreed USD 284 evaluation tool will be used for all scheduled evaluations. The walk through observation information will be used to collect data for the buildings and district. The walk through observation form will not go into the teacher’s personnel files. The first building inservice each year will include a review of the walk through process. This section will be revisited for negotiations for the 2013-2014 school year.
