SDEA members have reached an agreement with the District on Evaluations for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. This evaluation process is modeled from the Alternative Evaluation that currently exists in Section 14.7. of the union contract.
This evaluation model change is intended to shift away from the former evaluation model (commonly known as the “Stull”). Instead of the often punitive Stull, the intention is an evaluation system that allows educator support in areas of self-determined need. In the rare occasion that an educator receives a less-than-satisfactory evaluation during their on-cycle evaluation year, educators will receive support from their peers through a new Advisory model. Supporting educators so they can be successful is a part of our We Can’t Wait campaign, and this agreement is one step in the ongoing effort to streamline and improve the evaluation process.
In the upcoming weeks, look for more information, including a more detailed summary, FAQ, and resource documents on the SDEA website. In the meantime, read the full Memorandum of Understanding on the Educator Evaluation Plan for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years here:
