The NC Eval Process
NC SLMC Evals focus on five general areas:
-
Leadership
-
Creation of learning environments
-
Implementing a current program
-
Promote effective instruction
-
Reflect on practice
​
In each of these general areas, you can be 'graded' into four different ranks of effectivity:
-
Developing - Don't stop working on your effectivity. this is the LOWEST rank. Basically, you're scoring 25%.
-
Proficient - Performing admirably. You're hitting the target, but you aren't standing out of the crowd. You're halfway there! (50%).
-
Accomplished - Awesome work! You're better than most, and you show others how to get it done. You've got a little room for improvement, though. (75%).
-
Distinguished - Doing everything you need to be doing! You're scoring a perfect score (100%).
​
There is also a rank of "Not Demonstrated", but this means that there was no observable inclusion of the standards. Don't take a zero for this, though ... argue for your appropriate grade with evidence!
