📄 Adding Evidence V2

In addition to observations and self-evaluations or self-reflections, supporting evidence may be needed. Evidence can come in any form. Examples include student assessments, growth charts, meeting notes, and pictures. Evidence collected and associated with the criteria will provide a quick view in the Evaluation Summary, helping you and the Evaluator see it all together in one location.

Evidence Examples Ideas:

• Beginning of Year: View historical assessments, create student groups, and view student demographic data.
• Mid-Year: Collect reported grades (gradebook), gather new assessment data to target-specific groups for interventions.
• End of Year: Student growth charts, data extracts
