Educator Evaluation & Support Plan

  • Vision

    All New Haven educators and leaders have the opportunity for continuous learning and feedback, to develop and grow, both individually and collectively, through the educator and leader evaluation and support system so that all Connecticut students experience growth and success.
     
     
    Guiding Principles

    The transformational design of the educator evaluation and support model is grounded in six guiding principles that use high quality professional learning to advance educator practice and student learning, growth, and achievement.
     
    1. Allow for differentiation of roles (for example for leaders: assistant superintendents, director of pupil services, various leaders in central office, principal, assistant principal; or for educators: teachers, counselors, instructional coaches, student support staff).
    2. Simplify and reduce the burden (eliminate technical challenges, paperwork, steps).
    3. Focus on things that matter (identify high leverage goal focus areas).
    4. Connect to best practices aimed at the development of the whole child (including, but not limited to, academic, social, emotional, and physical development).
    5. Focus on leader growth and agency (meaningfully engage professionals by focusing on growth and practice in partnership with others aligned to a strategic focus).
    6. Meaningful connections to professional learning (provide multiple pathways for participants to improve their own practice in a way that is meaningful and impactful).
    7. Specific, timely, accurate, actionable, and reciprocal feedback (best practices for timely and meaningful feedback is within 2 school days but feedback should be provided no later than 10 school days).
