Multiple Data Sources
Summative ratings are based on multiple data sources.• Observation
• Announced• unannounced
• Documentation• Required Artifacts• Teacher-Selected Artifacts
• Other Sources
• In the last module we collected evidence on Teacher B through classroom observation.
• Today we will add to that through evidence – submitted in the document log– collected by the evaluator
Observation Data
• The document log is an additional source of evidence.
• Review the documentation log. • Note evidence to include for each standard.
– Tool: Summary of Evidence
Document Log
• Evaluators may have data from additional sources (i.e. communications with the teacher, parents, and other interactions with the teacher)
• This data can also be considered when making summative ratings.
Additional Data Sources
• What evidence did you collect from the document log?
• Each group will share out on one standard.
