✏️ Comprehensive vs. Focus: Marking/Displaying Focus Criteria V2

Here, you learn to manage Comprehensive vs. Focus Criteria.

Washington State/TPEP Supporting Documentation on Comprehensive Vs. Focus

Comprehensive suggestions are hard-coded based on WA State logic*  

• First suggestions are made for the Preliminary Summative and Student Growth Impact.
• Second, when selections are made, a Final Summative Rating is suggested. The corresponding Require Student Growth Inquiry and Require Plan of Improvement are suggested if needed.

Marking Focus Criterion

Any criteria can be marked by either the Evaluator or Evaluatee as focused by clicking the corner triangle checkmark to turn it from grey to blue. Once a criterion has been marked as focused, each instance of the criteria will display the focus label for the entire evaluation year.

This is done through ONE of the three ways: 

1. Self-Evaluation task (Evaluatee only) Helpful Resources: Evaluatee: Self-Evaluation Task V2
2. Observation/Evaluation task (Observation/Evaluation, Evaluator only) Helpful Resources: Observation/Evaluation Form V2
3. Summary Page: Helpful Resources: Summary Evaluation Form V2

Suppose the Evaluatee is on Focus for one year. In that case, either the Evaluator or the Evaluatee will need to mark all criteria, including the Student Growth criterion, as the focus so that the Final Evaluation is handled correctly.  

Displaying only the Focus Criterion

From an Observation/Evaluation task (Observation/Evaluation):

Click on the Configuring Gear icon in the right corner of your screen. Check the Show Only Focused/Required Criteria view option. This will eliminate the display of criteria that are not marked as Required or Focus. This will persist throughout the whole application.

From the Summary: 

Click on the Configuring Gear icon in the right corner of your screen. Check the Show Only Focused/Required Criteria view option. This will eliminate the display of criteria that are not marked as Required or Focus. This will persist throughout the whole application.
