Performance and Evaluation Program

WPS’s Professional Learning and Evaluation Program represents our commitment to incorporating current, high-quality research in the creation of professional learning opportunities, to fostering best practices in teacher supervision and evaluation, and to improving student learning through effective curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, in our classrooms, schools and programs, and in the districts we serve. As such, the Program: a) addresses the elements of CT’s Core Requirements for Teacher and Administrator Evaluation; b) is aligned with our schools’ missions and values; and c) meets the educational needs of the stakeholders in our schools and region. WPS Performance and Evaluation Program is designed to create pathways for the continuous learning and advancement of educational professionals throughout their careers. The Program components are aligned with the Core Requirements of the Connecticut Guidelines for Educator Evaluation.

For certified staff, the Observe4Success platform (see link to right) will allow you to view the evaluations your administrator completes for you. You will also use this platform to open and work on your goal setting (mid-year and summative). This is a change from last year when your administrator would open these.

Certified staff should be sure they can log into this system. If you have trouble logging in, please get in touch with Katie Firth (kfirth@windham.k12.ct.us) or JoAnne Guerraz (jguerraz@windham.k12.ct.us) for assistance.

The district is working with its Professional Development and Evaluation Committee (PDEC) to continue to update Windham's Teacher and Administrator Evaluation Plan for 2024-25 using the State's latest guidance. Please notify your building principal if you would like to be a part of the PDEC work.
