Educator Effectiveness Handbook 2025/26 TSD

The Thompson School District believes that, through an effective Educator Evaluation Cycle, teachers and administrators work collaboratively to provide high-quality education to each TSD student. The Educator Evaluation process is designed to:

  • Facilitate meaningful and actionable feedback to educators that translates into effective professional growth.
  • Encourage a collaborative approach for growth and development of licensed personnel.
  • Focus on instructional practices/service delivery that will directly improve the learning for all students.
  • Maintain a focus on using data to help improve learning.
  • Uphold a system that is uniform, consistent, fair and achievable.
  • Serve as the mechanism for making administrative recommendations regarding the retention of high-quality staff. 
  • Meet the statutory requirements set forth by the State of Colorado.
