I work in Massachusetts. The resources I share here and elsewhere on the wiki are not the responsibility of my employer. Here are links to the new educator evaluation guidelines from our Department of Elementary and Secondary Education:

The Massachusetts Model System for Educator Evaluation

http://www.doe.mass.edu/edeval/model/

The state-level example forms for the various steps of the process are included in the School-Level Planning and Implementation Guide [doc], which can make it easier to enter and share the information with colleagues and administrators. The five components of the evaluation cycle are

• self-assessment; 
• goal setting and educator plan development; 
• plan implementation and evidence collection; 
• formative assessment/evaluation; 
• and summative evaluation. ^[1] 

A discussion of how educators will be evaluated for impact on student learning can be found in Part VII of the Mass. DESE model evaluation documentation: http://www.doe.mass.edu/edeval/model/PartVII.pdf. From Page 30 of the .pdf (25 of 39 within the document):

     Key Takeaways 

• To rate an educator’s impact on student learning, districts must determine whether an educators’ students have achieved high, moderate, or low growth. Moderate growth is one year’s growth in one year’s time.
• One way to do this is to rate the growth of the median student an educator serves. 
• More detailed guidance from ESE will be available in winter 2012–13. 

Our district will be implementing the BaselineEdge product from Longleaf Solutions:

Robin Cicchetti of Concord-Carlisle High School has prepared training for the EDCO Collaborative on the Massachusetts evaluation system as it applies to school librarians. Among the many useful offerings on her PD LibGuide is the following timeline table, also found in www.doe.mass.edu/edeval/model/PartVI_AppxC.docx (suggested teacher contract language).
