Performance Pay - Outstanding Teacher

Survey Process

The following was created by the Outstanding Teacher Committee to aid administrators in making the outstanding process flow smoothly.

Suggested "To Do's"

  • Duplicate 1 set of the "master packet" and distribute it to each teacher declared a candidate.
  • Order 40 envelopes for each candidate at the secondary level for mailing and return of surveys. Elementary and "specialists" categories may require fewer envelopes.
  • Postage out of the building will be paid by district. Return postage is the responsibility of either the recipient or teacher (optional).
  • School will duplicate surveys (client and peer) for candidates, making them available for pick-up. (20 client surveys, 4 peer surveys per candidate at secondary level, less for elementary level or specialists)
  • Run client surveys on one color within building; peer survey on another color for differentiation.
  • Teacher candidate will bring the administrator a list to include the names of clients and peers to whom they will send surveys. (10 client, 2 peer for secondary level) Administrator will then choose ten client names and two peers to send surveys to regarding the teacher's application for outstanding designation.
  • Teacher will provide to administrator the following:
    • 12 blank envelopes to which the administrator or secretary will affix a mailing label.
    • 12 return envelopes addressed to the teacher candidate at the school address.
    • Students may return survey to the teacher candidate or they may be mailed.
