Board Report November 2025

Teacher Evaluation Plan Rating System The evaluator should complete the Summative Rating form prior to the End of Year Conference. The evaluator should use all evidence collected, which will include: documentation from formal observations, informal observations, conferencing, and any additional evidence the teacher has presented or the evaluator deems necessary. The evaluator should gather as much evidence as possible before making any conclusions.

They will follow the process below to complete the scoring table:

1) Gather and assess evidence for each component. At the end of the observation cycle, the assigned evaluator will assess all the evidence available for a given teacher to determine component ratings in each component using The Pontiac Township High School/Livingston Area Career Center Framework for Teaching . The evaluator must use professional judgment to make responsible decisions using as many data points as possible gathered during the year.

2) Use component ratings to establish domain ratings.

Domain Ratings in Teacher Evaluation Plan  Excellent – Excellent ratings in more than half of the components of the domain .  Proficient – Proficient ratings in more than half of the components of the domain.  Needs Improvement – Needs Improvement ratings in more than half of the components of the domain.  Unsatisfactory – Unsatisfactory ratings in more than half of the components of the domain. *When there is a tie in the number of ratings, the lower rating will be designated to reflect the ability to grow in the components and domains.

3) Use domain ratings to establish a final teacher summative rating. Overall Ratings in Teacher Evaluation Plan

 Excellent – Excellent rating in at least three or more of the domains .  Proficient – Proficient rating in at least three or more of the domains.  Needs Improvement – Needs Improvement rating in at least three or more of the domains  Unsatisfactory – Unsatisfactory rating in at least three or more of the domains. *When there is a tie in the number of ratings, the lower rating will be designated to reflect the ability to grow in the domains. Non-Tenured Teacher Contract Renewal –Each non-tenured teacher will receive a final Summative Rating and a recommendation for renewal or non-renewal of his/her contract. Tenured Teachers are expected to maintain an overall Summative Rating of Proficient or higher. If a Tenured Teacher receives an overall Summative Rating of Needs Improvement , a Professional Development Plan (PDP) will be developed. If a Tenured Teacher exhibits evidence of Unsatisfactory practice, an overall Summative Evaluation may be conducted during the contractual school year. An overall Summative Rating of Unsatisfactory will result in the development of a Remediation Plan in accordance with the law. Remediation Policies In accordance with PERA, any tenured teacher who receives an Unsatisfactory or Needs Improvement as a summative rating must be evaluated every year. In addition, any teacher receiving an Unsatisfactory summative rating will develop a remediation plan with an evaluator, which will include appropriate professional development, in order to improve performance.
