If growth is made over the year, the higher score (later score) will be used. Criteria Scores: Components scores will be averaged and rounded to reach a final score. d) Summative Performance Rating A classroom teacher shall receive a summative performance rating for each of the eight (8) state evaluation criteria. This score becomes the Focused summative evaluation score for any of the subsequent years following the Comprehensive summative evaluation in which the certificated classroom teacher is placed on a Focused evaluation. Should a teacher provide evidence of exemplary practice on the chosen focused criterion, and the administrator and teacher agree the evidence is exemplary, a level 4 (Distinguished) score shall be awarded by the evaluator. The overall summative score is determined by totaling the eight (8) criterion- level scores as follows: (i) 8-14—Unsatisfactory (ii) 15-21—Basic (iii) 22-28—Proficient (iv) 29-32—Distinguished e) Student Growth Criterion Score Embedded in the instructional framework are five (5) components designated as student growth components. These components are embedded in criteria as SG 3.1, SG 3.2, SG 6.1, SG 6.2, and SG 8.1. Evaluators add up the raw score on these components and the employee is given a score of low, average, or high based on the scores below: (i) 5-12—Low (ii) 13-17—Average
