What is a NTP Observation?

The NTP Observation is a year-long process which is initiated by either the employee or supervisor. Once initiated, the NTP sets goals and identifies component focus areas. Based upon the component focus areas selected, the NTP provides information pertaining to how they plan to improve their practice.

The NTP Observation is then submitted to their supervisor for review. Feedback is provided, followed by approval. Once approved, the NTP returns to the NTP Observation throughout the school year to provide updates and share artifacts. The process ends with a final submission of updates and a self-assessment. Supervisors then provide final feedback and component ratings which transfer to the 13-3 to inform the year-end summative ratings. A conference option is also available.
