End of year celebration
Select the location that works best for you. We'll start at the end of your student day, and you stay as long as you like.
Friday, May 20, 2016, 02:30 PM
Four concurrent locations include Mexico on Hull Street, Capital Ale House on Midlothian Turnpike, Bella Italia on Ironbridge Road, and Buffalo Wild Wings on Jeff Davis Highway in Chester.
Anxious about end of year evaluation?
- Prepare copies of observations and any information related to EOY evaluation;
- Provide evidence to support your position;
- Give your administrator time to review your evidence to modify EOY evaluation;
- Be respectful yet confident.
You know your students best. Evidence for Standard 7 can go beyond the pre and post test scores and growth levels. Add an additional column to a spread sheet that you maintain, then
- Note number of days absent by students;
- Note trauma that may impact learning;
- Note language or learning barriers that impact progress;
- Note special needs and recommendations that have not yet been addressed.
You can also
- Provide additional data points beyond the pre and post test scores;
- Provide artifacts and examples that demonstrate growth;
- Speak with confidence.
If you are not satisfied that the end of year evaluation accurately documents your skills and abilities, you can provide a written response or file a grievance. CEA is ready to help our members with either course of action.
Additional clubs and assignments are voluntary
