Epipen Training from the Nurse

Teachers and Staff:

Teachers and staff may volunteer to be Epipen-trained by the HPS school nurses. In the event that you do administer an Epipen in an emergency, you are covered by The Good Samaritan Law. According to HPS policy, any teacher taking students( with Life-threatening Allergies) on a field trip must be Epipen- trained.

If you  have any questions, please contact me.

Thanks,

Educator Evaluation

Goals, Action Steps & Benchmarks, and Ed Plans 

Self-Assessments and goals are due for all educators on October 4th, followed by the educator plan (goals + action steps + benchmarks) due on October 17th. Use the "1 Educator Self-Assessment" form in TeachPoint to submit your self-assessment. This is YOUR self-assessment so any format, any organization, or any thoughtful reflection will be great...REALLY!! 

     Your goals are created from your self-assessment and can be either team or individual goals. The professional practice goal should really reflect your self-assessment and areas you identified as needed growth. Remember that when you are submitting your goal using the 2A/2B Goal Setting/Educator Plan form, that this is just the goal - without the action steps and benchmarks. Hint: When trying to create a form, click on the small button at the top that says "New" and a menu box will appear. Scroll down until you see the section for teachers and choose the form you want. You will use this same form to add in your action steps and benchmarks to complete the Educator Plan.  Please DO NOT SIGN any forms yet.
