Formal Classroom Observation Clause Samples

Formal Classroom Observation a. Each scheduled formal classroom observation will be conducted openly by the evaluator and with full knowledge of the teacher. Results of any formal classroom observation will be in writing with a copy to be given to the teacher no later than the business day prior to any meeting with an administrator. b. Within ten (10) school days of each observation, the evaluator will have a meeting with the teacher to discuss the formal classroom observation report. c. After such meeting, both parties will sign the observation report to indicate awareness of the contents of the report. The signature of the teacher will only mean that the written report has been read and discussed; it will not mean agreement or disagreement with the written report.

Formal Classroom Observation. No later than the day of the observation and prior to the observation, 49 the teacher will provide the evaluator with a completed lesson plan (Form B). 50 If the evaluator is unable to complete the observation and the lesson plan 51 (Form B) was considered proficient an updated version of Form B will not be 52 required.

Formal Classroom Observation. The Adjunct has a right to a regular, fair and consistent formal evaluation process. A formal classroom observation shall be used to evaluate an Adjunct’s performance and effectiveness as an instructor. Formal classroom observations may be conducted by the Department Chairperson, a tenured faculty member, ▇▇▇▇, Director, coordinator, manager, or Vice President. Under no circumstances shall bargaining unit members evaluate each other. Individuals designated to perform formal classroom observations must receive training prior to conducting such observations. The Adjunct shall be notified in writing two weeks in advance of the intent to evaluate. Written notification may be made by email. Time and place shall be mutually agreed upon by the Adjunct and person conducting the observation. For non-probationary adjuncts, classroom observations will be conducted annually, not to exceed one class per year. After four positive consecutive evaluations, the qualified evaluator may opt to reduce the frequency to one evaluation every other year. (Probationary adjunct observation protocol is outlined in section 7.3 of this contract.) Classroom observations will be conducted annually. Each classroom observation will be a minimum of 50 minutes in duration. Online classes with synchronous sessions will be observed during one of their synchronous sessions like a regular classroom observation. For asynchronous online classes one module will be observed instead of one class session. For hybrid classes, the adjunct will choose whether to have one class session (in person or online) or one module observed. Following the completion of the written observation, the Department Chairperson, tenured faculty member, ▇▇▇▇, Director, manager, coordinator, or Vice President shall meet with the Adjunct Faculty member to review the observation. Observation feedback shall be individualized. The form in Appendix A will be used for formal classroom observations. The form used for classroom observations will continue to be the same as the form used by full-time faculty members. Modifications to this form shall be made to better suit instructional areas as mutually agreed upon by the College and Union. Copies of the completed classroom observation form will be provided to the observer, Adjunct Faculty member, Department Chair (Director as appropriate), and ▇▇▇▇. DAEL classroom observation forms will comply with program needs and meet ICCB and DOE requirements. In addition to the evaluations set f...
