Certificated Evaluation: SPLG Pilot Program
Mission Statement
The Pomona Unified School District’s System of Professional Learning & Growth (SPLG) seeks to change the current structure of teacher evaluation in order to create a safe, systematic process that supports teachers in the continuous cycle of professional learning and growth.
Program requirements, due dates, linked forms and downloads are listed below.
Professional Growth Goal (PGG)
All permanent teachers are eligible to use the PGG Google Form in lieu of Process Objectives. Click Professional Growth Goal Form to access the Google Form. Once submitted, you will receive a copy in your email. Please provide a copy to your administrator/prime evaluator no later than October15th by forwarding the copy of your response you received via email or printing your response from your email and turning in a paper copy.
Growth Cycle (January - March)
Permanent teachers who have been identified by their administrator/prime evaluator as being due for a formal evaluation this school year, and wish to use the pilot process, will complete the growth cycle.
A Mentor will be assigned to support teachers through the process as they work toward meeting standards related to their Professional Growth Goal and the Focus Elements from the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Teachers may select a mentor preference by completing the Mentor Options Form by December 15th.
Once a mentor has been assigned, both the teacher and mentor will engage in a conversation around a scheduled observation using the Teacher Planning Conversation Template. After the scheduled observation, both the teacher and mentor will engage in a conversation using the Teacher Reflecting Conversation Template. This process shall take place sometime January through March.
Templates for the Planning and Reflecing Conversations and Rubrics for the District Focus Elements can be found below under Resources.
