THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT OF BOISE CITY Consulting Teacher Evaluation Name: Assignment: Employee ID: School: School Year Evaluator: Evaluation Date: Philosophy The purpose of performance evaluation for any category of employee is to document strengths and weaknesses and to pinpoint areas for improved performance. Although professional growth is of primary importance, evaluation may also be used to document performance problems and deficiencies. The Boise School District is committed to the notion of self‐evaluation and self‐reflection as a way to ensure professional growth. Self‐reflection, combined with the fair and objective observation and feedback of a supervisor is the best way to assist professional teachers in advancing in the profession. The availability of the Boise School District Peer Assistance Program, Professional Development Core and other Professional Development opportunities, coupled with the evaluation process, provides the infrastructure necessary for sustained professional growth. It is the philosophy of the District that evaluation is the tool to document that sustained growth. Evaluation Procedure The evaluation shall include a minimum of two (2) documented observations by a qualified evaluator, one (1) of which shall be completed prior to January 1 of each year. Employees shall be given a copy of the official District’s observation document within five (5) school days after the observation.
