Idaho Code 33‐514(4)‐ ‐District Policy 5340 -- IDAPA 08.02.02.120

Jerome School District Policy 5340 describes the process to be used for evaluating certified teaching personnel.

Proficiency Rating

Professional Practice Component

The Professional Practice component rating is computed using the District’s Summative Teacher

Evaluation Form. This form uses the four Levels of Proficiency to describe teacher performance in each of the 22

components of the Danielson Framework. The Levels of Proficiency, hereafter referred to as LOPs, are

Distinguished, Proficient, Basic, and Unsatisfactory. The performance by a teacher on these 22 components is then

assigned a LOP by the following process:

1. The LOPs are given a numeric point value, Distinguished is worth 4 points, Proficient is worth 3 points,

Basic is worth 2 points, and Unsatisfactory is worth 1 points.

2. The numerical point values of the teacher’s earned LOP in each of the 22 components are totaled to

give the evaluation a numerical points earned from 22 to 88.

3. This numerical total of points earned are assigned a LOP as shown in the chart below. This constitutes

the Profession Practice Component rating

Points earned Assigned LOP

78‐88 Points Distinguished

60‐77 Points Proficient

41‐59 Points Basic

0‐40 Points Unsatisfactory

Student Achievement Component

The teacher will receive a rating of Distinguished, Proficient, Basic or Proficient as determined by building plans. A

point value is assigned to each rating (Distinguished is worth 4 points, Proficient is worth 3 points, Basic is worth 2

points, and Unsatisfactory is worth 1 point.)

Parental Input

Parental input will be factored in as part of the Professional Responsibility Domain of the Charlotte Danielson

Framework.

State Submission

The Professional Practice Component rating and the Student Achievement Component rating will be submitted to

the Idaho State Department of Education.
