review multiple products of practice, e.g. district determined
assessments, portfolios, lesson plans, course work, etc.
Educators document how they are working towards meeting
their SMART goals and collect ongoing evidence of having
met the four standards

Assessment
January - February 2013
The evaluator assesses the educator’s progress on
attainment of goals and progress on achievement of the four
standards
The evaluator completes the Formative Assessment Report

Step V of Annual Cycle: Summative
Assessment
May - June 2013
Based upon the collected evidence, the evaluator determines
a rating for the educator on each of the four standards and
determines and overall rating
Remember the impact of the “power” standards
