CTESS Element 3: Stakeholder Input

The Stakeholder Input element consists of teacher reflection on feedback from student surveys and parent surveys that is used to create a plan for improvement. Student surveys address student perceptions of instructional rigor, learning opportunities, and classroom climate. Parent surveys are designed to assess parent perceptions of school climate and communication. Stakeholder Input Rating (SIR) is 10% of a Summative Overall Rating (SOR) for teachers in the summative evaluation year. A rating on the Stakeholder Input element of CTESS is based on teacher documented reflections.

The following table summarizes the decision rules used for determining an SIR:

This written response must be submitted to the evaluator and to the Director of Human Resources within fifteen (15) calendar days and will be retained in the teacher’s personnel file.
