=Linking Evidence Items to Performance Indicators=

One option to enhance teacher classroom observations and understanding of the school's performance model is by linking specific evidence pieces to a performance indicator. When a more concrete piece of evidence is linked to a less concrete performance indicator, both evaluations become more objective and understanding of the performance model increases.

For example:

A performance indicator can be rather open ended.
 * ====Ensure a safe and accessible environment.====

By linking evidence pieces to the performance indicator a more clear model is developed.


 * ====Ensure a safe and accessible environment.====
 * 1) Artifact: Classroom rules
 * 2) Artifact: Clean and organized classroom
 * 3) Artifact: Fire/tornado evacuation route posted

Another advantage to this is when performing a walkthrough, principals can focus on the more concrete evidence pieces and then later look at the collected data to make a more subjective determination on the performance indicator.

How to do this in odie.

 * 1. Edit the performance framework by clicking on the "Manage Rubrics" link.**


 * 2. Select an effective practice.**
 * 3. Find the indicator that would benefit from a linking of evidence.**


 * 4. Click the pencil on the lower right of that indicator to edit it.**
 * 5. Select evidence desired to be linked to the performance indicator.**


 * 6. Save the indicator, and you'll notice the linked evidence in the model.**


 * 7. This also becomes evident in the model description that all staff sees.**


 * 8. Linking evidence becomes particularly effective when walkthrough data on that linked evidence is shown in the development of a formal evaluation.**
