Comprehensive vs. Focus: Marking/Displaying Focus Criteria

Washington State/TPEP Supporting Documentation on Comprehensive Vs. Focus:

 Comprehensive suggestions are hard coded based on WA State logic*  

• 1st Suggestions are made for Preliminary Summative and Student Grow Impact.
• 2nd When accepted or selections are made, a Final Summative Rating is suggested.  If needed, the corresponding Require Student Growth Inquiry and Require Plan of Improvement are suggested.

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)  NOTE: If the task has already been marked complete, this can NOT be done on the task as it is 'read-only.' The user will need to click on the Summary. More details can be found Evaluatee Dashboard.
2. Observation/Evaluation task (Observation/Evaluation, Evaluator only) NOTE: If the task has already been marked complete, this can NOT be done on the task as it is 'read only'. The user will need to click on the Summary.  More details can be found Observation/Evaluation Form.
3. Summary Page.  More details can be found Summary.

If the Evaluatee is on Focus for one year, either the Evaluator or Evaluatee will need to mark all criteria, including the Student Growth criterion, as the focus so that the Final Evaluation will be 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 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 NOT marked as Required or Focus.  This will persist throughout the whole application.
