The document outlines a supervision for growth program with two routes: formative and summative. The formative route involves goals and coaching, while the summative route is a formal evaluation for new teachers over their first one or two years. The program includes guidelines for pre-conferences, data collection, and post-conferences. Teachers develop growth plans with goals, objectives, actions, and indicators of success. Mentor goals differ from coaching goals. Growth plans are due by the end of September.
2. Supervision for Growth
Supervision for Growth (SFG) Manual
contains two parts:
Professional Growth Plan
Evaluation Rubrics and Timelines
3. The FORMATIVE route involves singular goals,
peer coaching goals, mentoring, and/or
administrative coaching. Principals do not submit
reports of formative evaluation to the
Superintendent.
The SUMMATIVE route is a formal evaluation. All
new teachers are placed on the Summative route for
either one (teachers with experience) or two
(teachers new to the profession) years. Teachers
will have a minimum of four and a maximum of ten
visits (formally or informally) throughout the year.

13. Mentor vs. Coach
A mentor goal applies to anyone working with a
new teacher to the profession, school or division or
anyone being mentored.
If you are working with a colleague or PLC then this
would be a coaching goal and applies to both the
coach and the one being coached.
