This Excel file comprises the PDE 13-4 Rating Tool,
measures utilized in the optional, interim evaluation of a professional employee
deemed Unsatisfactory on the last annual evaluation.
2
COMPLETE the Employee Info worksheet and save the file, adding to the naming convention to reflect the evaluatee by name/PPID and evaluation year (e.g., “PDE 13-4_Doe, Jesse_1234567_22-23.xls”).
3
CONTINUE with the next two (2) worksheets, completing as data become available.
4
èSELECT/ENTER responses in the white cells within the appropriate table on a worksheet to generate a single 0 – 3 point scale rating in a green cell. Where a rated area is comprised of more than one measure or a measure comprised of more than one indicator, each is weighted to generate a single 0 – 3 point scale rating.

NOTE: The rating for each indicator displays to two decimal places; however, the full value of the rating is utilized in determining a summative rating, which is truncated to three decimal places then rounded to two decimal places.
5
èCOMPLETE both worksheets* (O&P and LEA SM) to produce two respective ratings (one for each worksheet/rated area). The ratings will populate the Summary worksheet, generating the final summative rating for the evaluation.
6
PRINT the Summary worksheet, which serves as the PDE 13-4 form, saving the completed rating tool and supporting evidence as part of the permanent evaluation record system.
7
*Each worksheet represents a rated area in the interim evaluation of a professional employee deemed Unsatisfactory on the last annual evaluation:
- Observation & Practice (O&P)
- LEA Selected Measure(s) (LEA SM)
For the Observation & Practice rating, the LEA should apply the same domains, weightings, and professional practice models utilized during the prior annual evaluation.
For the LEA Selected Measures rating, the LEA should use measure(s) appropriate to the type of professional employee (e.g., Performance Goal benchmarks might serve as a locally developed rubric in the evaluation of a principal) and reflective of the role and responsibility of the professional employee (e.g., student career readiness portfolios might be used in the evaluation of a school counselor).
