GET Heatmap
Audience: instructional Leaders
We are weekly going to start reporting on a different approach to look at our GET data. This is in service to get all instructional staff 100% rated for their APRs.
Just a couple notes
- Co-Teachers, AR Zone Facilitators, and Hot Spot Teachers will be considered 100% if they have been rated on all strands in GP 2 & 5.
- All other instructional staff will be considered 100% complete once rated in all strands of all 5 GP.
You can see the PTG below for each campus by category. Click the heatmap to dive in deeper as some teachers/co-teachers are just missing ratings in one or two strands.
