Evaluation Summary:
During all observations, Ms. McNamee used a variety of strategies to integrate assessment into her instruction. This was evident through student worksamples,
lesson plans, feedback on written work, assessment informing classroom instruction, and observed checks throughout the lessons. This has been an area of
strength for Ms. McNamee. She made progress towards each of her previous instructional directions that she received during post observation conferences as
noted in this evaluation through evidence statements. Ms. McNamee demonstrates high standards in complying with her professional obligations. This was

The evaluator uses this tool and evidence collected throughout the cycle to rate each Indicator on levels 1-4. Indicator ratings are then used to calculate each
Standard score by averaging all Indicator levels for each Standard. The Professional Responsibilities domain score is then calculated by averaging the scores of
all Standards.
