Welcome to the Framework for Evaluation and Professional Growth web site for Shelby County Schools.  From this location you will be able to link to all forms, documents, and needed material for your evaluation cycle.  It is the goal of the Human Resources department to aid, guide, and assist the teachers of Shelby County Schools in their quest to be teachers of excellence for the students they serve.

As stated in the Overview of the state handbook, "The  Framework for Evaluation and Professional Growth is a research-based, public description of the teacher's performance in areas validated as critical to effective teaching.  The framework provides descriptors for the complex act of teaching to allow evaluators and observers to make reasonable and fair decisions about teacher performance in the classroom.  The framework provides 44 criteria clustered in six domains.  These criteria are documented through both empirical and theoretical research as having a positive impact on student learning."

Our evaluators in Shelby County Schools are administrators trained locally by a State Department of Education licensed trainer.
