A teacher has four primary responsibilities when using eVAL for formative growth and evaluation:

1. Conducting a quality self-assessment (according to the district’s selected instructional framework);
2. Engaging in goal-setting;
3. Interacting with the evaluating principal during the observation process; and
4. Managing artifacts and evidence of professional growth, proficiency, and student achievement.

To carry out these responsibilities, a teacher interacts with menus for specific tasks/activities (shown below):

• Dashboard - The teacher can monitor activity in which s/he has engaged.
• Artifacts - The teacher uploads and describes resources that can be shared with his/her evaluating principal, and that might be used as evidence.
• YTD Evidence - The teacher manages resources that serve as evidence in his/her evaluation.
• Student Growth Goals - The teacher writes his/her own goals, as well as writes goals in response to the principal’s prompts.
• Observations - The teacher participates in the three events around the observation cycle.
• Self-Assessments - The teacher completes his or her self-assessment.
• Summative Evaluation - The teacher views and prints the summative scores of the evaluations.
• Resources - The teacher has access to pertinent resources that have been provided by the district or school administrator of eVAL.
