The purposes of evaluations of certificated classroom teachers shall be, at a minimum:

  1. To acknowledge the critical importance of teacher and leadership quality and support professional learning as the underpinning of the new evaluation system.
  2. To identify in consultation with certificated classroom teachers, principals, and assistant principals, particular areas in which the professional performance is distinguished, proficient, basic, or unsatisfactory, and particular areas in which the classroom teacher needs to improve his or her performance.
  3. To assist certificated classroom teachers and certificated principals and assistant principals, who have identified areas needing improvement, in making those improvements.
