AR Handbook – 59 2. The state teacher evaluation regulations say: • All information about an individual teacher evaluation is confidential. • The observation conference is held between the supervisor preparing the evaluation report and the staff member. • Areas needing improvement must be based on the staff member’s job description and the evaluation rubric. • Only properly certified personnel employed in a supervisory capacity by the school district can perform duties of observations/ evaluations. • One observation is required to be unannounced. • One observation is required to be an announced observation (DATE and TIME of the evaluation). • All observations require a post observation conference. • All announced observations require a pre-observation conference. • “Observation” means a method of collecting data on the performance of a teaching staff member’s assigned duties and responsibilities. An observation for the purpose of evaluation will be included in the determination of the annual summative evaluation rating and shall be conducted by an individual employed in the school district in a supervisory role and capacity and possessing a principal, school administrator, or supervisor endorsement as defined in NJAC 6A:9-1.1. 3. Negotiated evaluation procedures for ESP may include many of the rights found in state teacher evaluation regulations.
