Criteria for Assessing Performance:
Do we have a shared understanding of the difference between the performance at “Exemplary, Proficient, Needs Improvement, Unsatisfactory Levels?”
Exemplary
Represents a level of performance that
exceeds the already high Standard of proficient. This is reserved for performance that is of such a high level that it could serve
as a model.
Proficient
Represents a performance level that is understood to be fully
satisfactory. This is the rigorous expected level of performance; demanding but attainable.
Needs Improvement
Represents a level of performance that is below the requirements of a Standard but is not considered to be Unsatisfactory at the time. Improvement is necessary and expected.
Unsatisfactory
Represents a rating that is merited when performance has not significantly improved following a rating of Needs Improvement, or performance is consistently below the requirements of a Standard and is considered inadequate or both.
Tracking Progress towards attaining Goals and Standards

Noting/Tracking the progress updates overtime
Intentional tracking system to
be able to share feedback and keep up with performance so that at the end of the evaluation cycle (summative), performance is rated for the entire year.
Suggestion: Develop a group tracking system to keep a log of performance.
Leverage Regular Public Meetings Progress updates about district priorities related to district improvement, student learning, and leadership development.
Suggestion: Superintendent will share information and artifacts aligned to the key performance indicators (KPIs)
Superintendent and School Committee Members
Discuss progress towards
goals and Standards throughout the year. Suggestion: During 1:1 and small group meetings and through the Weekly.
