What menus show up in eVAL for a principal?

When a principal evaluates a teacher:

A principal or head principal has four primary responsibilities when using eVAL to evaluate teachers:

  1. Review self-assessments that are submitted by their assigned teachers;
  2. Set and communicate goals, and respond to goals that are self-assigned by teachers;
  3. Schedule and conduct observations and conferences; and
  4. Review (and possibly score) evidence.

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

  • Dashboard - The principal can view and monitor progress toward the completion of each teacher’s evaluation.
  • Artifacts - The principal can view items that have been shared by their teachers.
  • YTD Evidence - The principal can view, monitor and <possibly> score evidence that has been submitted by his/her teachers.
