Staff Evaluation
Teacher/Support Staff Member Evaluation System
The primary purpose of the teacher evaluation system is to improve student learning and achievement with respect to teacher and support staff members’ professional development and growth. This occurs via informal and formal observations as well as a summative evaluation. The Plumsted Township School District has adopted the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching, providing performance feedback for teachers across four domains: Planning and Preparation, the Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Within each domain are four rating categories: ineffective, partially effective, effective, and highly effective. The frequency and types of observations conducted are in accordance with the requirements presented in the updated educator evaluation guidance for the school year 2020-21 as prepared by the NJDOE. Our support staff members (i.e. Child Study Team members, counselors, nurses, and related service providers) are also evaluated with the Danielson model, albeit modifications for the domains are job-specific.
