[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their current system is identical to the one teachers had, before impact. Just a thumbs up or down.  I’d be happy to be evaluated under the same conditions as my thought partners at CO [/quote]

There were efforts to develop an IMPACT system for central office maybe 5 years ago, led by the central office effectiveness team and supported by a cross-office working group. But then there was a reorganization, the central office effectiveness team was cut, and the CO IMPACT work has never been revived. It was challenging to create something CO-wide because there are so many different types of positions. While there are general guidelines for writing position descriptions for different position levels (e.g., the types of responsibilities that make a position an analyst vs. a coordinator vs. a specialist, etc.), the reality is that across offices, these types of positions vary widely in their responsibilities. Especially given the frequent reorganizations (e.g., in 2015 to fold the Master Educators/Instructional Coach support and roll out LEAP, last year to recombine LEAP with Teaching and Learning, and this year merging a bunch of offices), the reality is that positions are shifting so fast there’s isn’t time to have an evaluation tool developed because it will just change again the next year.
