The rating scale consists of four categories: Exemplary, Proficient, Developing, and Unacceptable.
Exemplary performance means that you consistently (about 90+% of the time) demonstrate behaviors that reflect positive professional dispositions and support student learning and development. Your behaviors are consistent with those of the most effective teachers and are never deemed inappropriate.
Proficient performance means that you usually (approximately 75-89% of the time) demonstrate behaviors that reflect positive professional dispositions and support student learning and development. Your behaviors are consistent with good professional practice and are never deemed inappropriate.
Developing performance means that you sporadically (approximately 40-74% of the time) demonstrate behaviors that reflect positive professional dispositions and support student learning and development. Your behaviors are consistent with good professional practice and are never deemed inappropriate.
Unacceptable performance means that you rarely (generally less than 40% of the time) demonstrate behaviors that reflect positive professional dispositions and support student learning and development. Your behavior often is not consistent with good professional practice or is deemed inappropriate.
