If this is your evaluation year, the traditional Stull Evaluation process has been replaced by a choice between the Educator Effectiveness and Empowerment (E3) Growth and Development Model or the Alternative Evaluation outlined in Section 14.7 of our union contract. The prior requirement of members to be in permanent status with five year’s teaching experience in order to qualify for an Alternative Evaluation will no longer apply.
The E3 model is voluntary for all bargaining unit members. 2023-24 is the first year E3 is available to School Nurses, Audiologists, and Librarians; therefore, the educators from these groups who choose to participate in E3 in the 2023-2024 school year will be deemed effective for their evaluation cycle. All other educators must complete the steps within the MyPGD platform and make progress on their goal or be rated “Accomplishing” in all CSTPs or UBPs, in order to be deemed effective for this year’s cycle.
