EEIP Principal Update
February, 2016
Greetings!
Since this month is a maintenance month, we thought that we'd update you electronically, rather than holding a face to face meeting. Please contact Trish Jarrott at (512) 414-9590, or trish.jarrott@austinisd. with any questions or concerns.
Mentoring
Campus Based Mentors
Full Release Mentors
With testing and interventions beginning on your campuses soon, please be sure to keep in mind the priority for all full release mentors is to support their teachers. Mentors should not be holding regular interventions with students. It really hinders the mentor's ability to support teachers effectively if they are scheduled to teach small group interventions on a regular basis. They can certainly support the teachers they are working with while the teacher provides interventions or small group support. Additionally, mentors should not be handling disciplinary actions that are meant for administrators. They simply must have the flexibility to provide in time support to your teachers. If you have any questions about this, please contact Trish.
Peer Observation
Student Learning Objectives
Revision Request Window - January 4-February 5
- Teachers had the opportunity to request a revision to their own SLO if they changed teaching assignment or had a significant roster change.
- Requests should have been made through email to the appraiser and SLO team.
New-Teacher Hire Cutoff - January 15
- Contact the SLO team if/when you receive a new teacher to campus. All new teachers who are hired on or before January 15 are required to complete and submit an SLO within 20 working days of their start date.
Post-Assessment Window - March 21-April 29
- All year-long SLO teachers must post-test students who were enrolled on their roster on or before October 23.
- In most situations, teachers will administer the exact same post-test as they did on the pre-test.
- Be sure to coordinate post-test schedules for each grade level/content area in hopes of creating a valid and reliable testing environment.
Final Teacher SLO Submission Deadline - April 29
- All year-long SLO teachers will enter post-test scores on the roster and complete all fields on the SLO verification form.
- SLO Team will provide a video tutorial on how to complete the submission process.
Appraiser SLO Verification Deadline - May 6
- Appraisers will verify all SLOs on the SLO Database.
- SLO Team will provide a video tutorial on how to complete the verification process.
- In the days following the verification deadline, SLO scores will be exported from the SLO Database to the HCP and will be viewable for teachers and appraisers to conduct their summative conferences.

Data Days
All EEIP PLCs have been asked to meet for their spring data day on each campus. After meeting for our spring PLC Lead training, we have developed a set of expectations for the second data day. There are a couple of campuses that need to complete 2 data days this semester. If the PLC leads need guidance for the fall data day requirements, please contact Trish Jarrott.
