EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The rubric consists of components divided into four domains of professional practice. Rubrics are provided to evaluators so the process will result in greater consistency in evaluations. Presented with this item is the new evaluation rubric for Speech, Language, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Specialist/Teacher personnel. 

The new evaluation will be comprised of written evaluations by a peer evaluator and principal or supervisor (60%) and a student gains measure (40%).
