PERFORMANCE  EVALUATION SERVICES
Goal Based Evaluation Program *

The Goal-Based Evaluation (GBE) component of ADEPT is used for continuing contract certified personnel who have been successful in their formal evaluation ( TEAM component of ADEPT) or who have been chosen by their principal to serve as peer evaluators for that three-year cycle.  The first goal of the GBE will be used to address any "needs improvements" received during the formal evaluation held the previous year.  GBE puts a teacher on the three-year cycle, so a teacher who is formally evaluated with TEAM will begin the GBE the following year.

 If a person received all "competent" ratings, then the first goal may be used to provide service in accomplishing school or district goals.  The second and third goals must address professional growth in the content area, instructional delivery (including the integration of technology into instruction), and assessment.

A teacher may develop all three goals at the beginning of the GBE cycle or may choose to develop one goal per year.  Teachers must implement one goal per year and the principal or supervisor is responsible for approving the GBE Goal Approval Form at the beginning of the cycle or the year and assessing the completion of the goals at the end of each year.  A GBE Monitoring Form must be completed and filed at the school and in the Performance Evaluations Office at the end of each year. Teachers who develop goals for the three year cycle at the beginning of the cycle may revised goals when necessary with the approval of their principal or supervisor.

Once one three-year cycle of GBE is completed, a teacher, if continuing to meet school and District expectations, can begin another cycle of GBE.  Any continuing contract persons can be placed on a formal evaluation (TEAM) so long as there is a valid reason for doing so, such as not meeting school or District expectations or going to a new school or getting a new principal, so long as the teacher is informed by May 15th of the previous year that he or she will be on formal evaluation.

Continuing contract personnel who have at least three years of successful teaching experience can pursue National Board Certification as their GBE goals.  Once National Board Certification is achieved, the person goes back to a GBE cycle.

*Since during the 2002-2003, Richland One will be piloting the Student Achievement Component of ADEPT, any person being evaluated with TEAM or beginning a GBE  cycle should use the GBE Student Achievement Component Form to develop their GBE goal for 2002-3.
