Writing SLOs...An Approach for Classroom Teachers

Many districts have opted not to use the state test in teacher evaluation this year, and teachers will be writing SLOs using only non-standardized indicators. Learn what the teacher evaluation guidelines require - and don't require - SLOs to include, and view a comparison of approaches to writing SLOs.
Writing SLOs...An Approach for Support Specialists

System for Educator Evaluation and Development (SEED)

In June 2012, the State Board of Education adopted new guidelines for teacher evaluation to reflect statutory changes passed by the legislature in its 2012 session. The State Department of Education then developed a model for educator evaluation, called the System for Educator Evaluation and Development (SEED). The State Board guidelines, the SEED document, and other related documents, including a FAQ sheet to answer questions about the components of the new evaluation system, can be found at www.connecticutseed.org.
