REMINDER: If professionalism is not finalized by both the administrator and the educator, the educator WILL NOT receive an LOE for SY2021-22.

The TEM End of Year Report can be finalized with missing information. The report will ONLY include information from the ACTIVE observation container.  

If an employee has multiple containers, the archived container information (i.e. Achievement and Growth, Observation scores) will not be included in the report. If information is missing, the evaluator and employee should still proceed with sign-off.

Student Perception Survey results will be released the week of May 9. Administrators and teachers will receive emails from Panorama Education regarding access to your survey reports.

If you have completed your NIE Goal Setting Conference and Mid-Year Conference, be sure that you have finalized ALL components to generate the overall green check. If the green check does not appear, a component may be incomplete! 

• NIE Partial Plans – Please ensure that the Goal Setting Conference is completed within 30 working days of hire/contract start date. The Mid-Year Conference is not required for NIE partial plans and will not appear as a container to complete.

   • TIER II (Self-Paced): Certified sometime within the last 1 -2 years (school years 2020-21, 2021-22)
