Requirements-Peer Observation A Peer Observer will observe, collect, share evidence, and provide feedback for formative purposes only. Peer Observers will NOT score a teacher’s practice, nor will peer observation data be shared with anyone other than the observee unless permission is granted. A peer observer is trained certified school personnel Required All teachers will receive a peer observation in their summative year. All Peer Observers participating during the summative year observations will complete the state developed training once every three years. All required peer observations must be documented in CIITS (time, date, evidence). All peer observations documentation will be accessed only by the evaluatee.

Who Should be a Peer Observer? What skills will be required by the peer observers? What professional learning will the peer observer and the teacher need? – How can PLCs support this process? What might an administrator consider when pairing a teacher with a peer observer?

Requirements-Student Voice The Student Voice Survey is a confidential, on-line survey collecting student feedback on specific aspects of the classroom experience and teaching practice. Required All teachers will participate in the state-approved Student Voice Survey annually with a minimum of one identified group of students. Student selection for participation must be consistent across the district. Results will be used as a source of evidence for Professional Practice.

All teachers and appropriate administrative staff will read, understand, and sign the district’s Student Voice Ethics Statement. The Student Voice Survey will be administered between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time. The survey will be administered in the school. Survey data will be considered only when ten or more students are respondents.
