Stakeholder Investment and Communication

Stakeholder Investment: "Evaluation systems are much more likely to be accepted, successfully implemented, and sustained if stakeholders are included in the design process. Stakeholder involvement throughout the design, implementation, assessment, and revision of teacher evaluation systems increases the likelihood that the system is perceived as responsive, useful, and fair.

School districts are required to develop or modify their evaluation systems in collaboration with administrators, teachers, and their exclusive bargaining representatives (ORS 342.850(2)(a); SB 290; and OAR 581-022-1723 ). A collaborative process involving teachers and administrators will result in meaningful evaluations and a stronger evaluation system.

Communication Plan
Early on in the process, stakeholders should consider communication needs. A strategic communication plan detailing steps to inform the broader school community about implementation efforts, results, and future plans may increase the potential for statewide adoption."
