Summative Evaluation Timeline  VAM Scores are in  They are still building the “tool” for teachers to see how their scores are calculated – not to include those teachers with an LCA  Waiting on state to designate cut scores for EOCs in Algebra I & II and Geometry  We are estimated to have our summative by the end of January.

Evaluation Grievances Since we have a shorter timeline for grievances, it is important for teachers to know all about their observations prior to receiving their summative score. Beginning now: If you have a question regarding your observation, print out PDF copies of your observations and meet with building reps to determine if you have a grievance. Try to also include any and all correspondence with evaluator about specific observations
