Sample for Teachers with Deficiencies
What follows are eight sample partial comprehensive evaluations, one for each of the eight teaching standards. Each sample is written for a different teacher, as it is highly unlikely any teacher would fail all eight standards, but in each case, the teacher was deemed not to meet the standard.

A failure to meet even one standard means a teacher will not be approved for a Standard License. In some of these examples, a third year of mentoring and induction was recommended when the teacher failed to meet the standard. In others, the evaluator concluded that another year of mentoring and induction would not likely result in success for the teacher. Both are viable legal options for the evaluator.

Styles vary, as three authors created these documents. Use your own judgment as to which, if any, you wish to use as a model.
