Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education | ||
Massachusetts has developed a Specialized Instructional Support Personnel Rubric. The rubric is intended to serve educators with varying roles and responsibilities. |
"This rubric describes practice that is common across educators in professional support roles such as school counselors, school psychologists, school nurses, and others defined in the recognition clause of the appropriate collective bargaining agreement. It is intended to be used throughout the 5 step evaluation cycle for educators who provide direct services such as education, therapy, counseling, assessment, and diagnosis to a caseload of students, as well as educators who may provide indirect support to students through consultation to and collaboration with teachers, administrators, and other colleagues." |
