Common use of SHORT FORM OF EVALUATION Clause in Contracts

SHORT FORM OF EVALUATION. A. After an employee has three (3) consecutive years of satisfactory evaluations under provisions of this Agreement, the principal or other evaluator may elect to use a short form of evaluation (see Appendix C2 or C3). The short form of evaluation shall consist of either a thirty (30) minute observation during the school year with a written summary or a final annual written evaluation based on the evaluation criteria and based on at least two (2) observation periods during the school year totaling at least sixty (60) minutes without a written summary of such observations being prepared. B. However, the normal evaluation process set forth in this Article, Sections 4 and 5, shall be followed at least once every three (3) years for each employee. In the event that the Short Form Summary indicates an overall determination of unsatisfactory, the employee will be provided a mutually developed plan of improvement to be followed for the remainder of the contract year and the normal evaluation process will be used for the ensuing contract year. An employee may request that the normal evaluation process be conducted in any given school year. C. The short form evaluation process may not be used as a basis for determining that an employee's work is unsatisfactory or as probable cause for non-renewal of the employee's contract.
