exempts no one (even the highly effective teacher) from professional development. Lastly, the “needs
improvement" rating has not been applied liberally; it has only been applied to those 3 or 4 faculty
members who did not entirely “engage students in the strategy and monitor the extent to which it produces
desired outcomes’ — the definition of “Effective”.
The minutes do not show that the faculty's chief complaint is that they did not receive a photocopy of the
‘observation in their hands during the post-observation. The minutes do not convey that | explained that the
faculty did in fact receive the actual observation to review with me and that | could not photocopy the
evaluation packet because the last portion had to be done in the post-observation. “Please note that the
DCSTEM necessitate three to five appendices to be utilized at once to count as one evaluation. See
attached. | explained in the meeting that | couldAwould not provide an incomplete evaluation to the faculty.
'd like the minutes to show that the Chair recommended | have a secretary photocopy the evaluations, to
which | respectfully disagreed due to the sensitive nature of the evaluation and the lack of any funds for
such an Executive secretary.
| also clarified in the meeting that all faculty have been asked if they wanted a photocopy and explained
that | would provide them with one. Many have not asked for a photocopy, and those who have received
‘one shortly thereafter.
Finally, | will be either Mr. Dorn or the Executive Director in the official minutes not Nick.
Sincerely,
Nick
