The success of a program of evaluation and remediation depends upon a high level of skill and training of all participants in the process. Evaluators shall be trained in supervisory skills such as observation skills, conferencing skills and writing evaluation reports. In addition, emphasis shall be placed on the understanding of the intent, criteria and processes identified in evaluation policies.
All persons who evaluate professional staff members shall possess an administrative certificate issued by the Colorado Department of Education and shall have received education and training in evaluation skills approved by the department. Issuance or renewal of an administrative certificate requires that the applicant has received such approved education and training in evaluation skills.
It shall be the responsibility of the Office of Human Resources to coordinate training opportunities.
Each evaluator shall be evaluated on his ability to make fair, professional and credible evaluations. It shall be the responsibility of the supervisor of each evaluator to evaluate these skills and make recommendations for training needed to the evaluator and to the Office of Human Resources for identifying content of future training programs.
As part of its ongoing review, the District personnel performance evaluation council shall seek evidence that evaluators are implementing the process in a fair, professional and credible manner and shall report its finding and recommendations to the Board of Education.
