More Effective Use of the Teacher Performance Rubric

April 25, 2014 by Damon Douglas

In his article in Chalkbeat New York, Kim Marshall details eight PersonalConversationpitfalls in putting the teacher rubric at the center of classroom observations. He cites distraction from open-minded observation, creating a top-down dynamic, and replacing face-to-face observations with electronic communication.

Marshall offers these alternative approaches:

  • Use the rubric at three points in the evaluative cycle: for teacher self-assessment and for the mid-cycle and summative reviews.
  • Follow up every classroom observation with a brief face-to-face conversation.

Custom Performance Rubrics: One for Every Job Title?

February 27, 2013 by Damon Douglas

Every new month seems to bring word of a new performance rubric. Most of these are not actually new, but, instead, minor variations on existing rubrics. Let’s start with what’s available at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s website. Here you can find the original four performance rubrics, which address the evaluation of Teachers, Principals, Superintendents, and Specialized Instructional Support Personnel.

To the top of the page linked above, DESE has added role-specific indicators for school nurses, school counselors, and business officials.

Next we move on to performance rubrics created by school districts. Holyoke Public Schools created this rubric for directors: Final Draft Rubric HPS Directors-1. This rubric for evaluating the work of Physical Education teachers was developed by Springfield College: SC-PE Rubric master.

Do you have access to additional performance rubrics? Are there job titles for which you see the need for a customized rubric?
