What is the Title II Follow-up Report?

The Title II Follow-up Report is a required form that must be completed anytime Title II funds are used for a professional development activity. If a system wide in-service, workshop, or meeting is funded through Knox County Schools Title II (Eisenhower Funds), participants must complete the Follow-up Report Form. If a teacher travels to a conference or workshop and Title II funds are used to reimburse registration, lodging, travel, and/or meals, the form must be completed. The science department sends the form to you approximately 60 days after the activity. The form documents that you completed at least two sharing sessions with colleagues and the impact the activity had on your teaching and student learning.

When do I fill out the Title II Follow-up Report and when is it due?

The Follow-up Report Form should be completed after you have completed two sharing sessions and you have used some of the strategies learned from the activity attended. The form is usually due 90 days after the professional development activity (exceptions can be made by the science supervisor).

Should I contact the science department to schedule my observation or wait to be contacted?

If your observation is due this year (especially if it has an early deadline for completion), we encourage you to call the science department to set up your observation. If we have not heard from you, someone from the department will contact you to set up a time for the pre-conference, observation, and post-conference. The science department schedules observations based on a mandatory due date set by the Human Resources Department. We will work with you in setting dates and times that work well with your schedule. Please keep in mind that our observation schedule is extremely tight. Due to the number we do each year it requires everyone (including evaluators) to be flexible.

Who will do my evaluation? Will it be someone from the science department?

Your primary evaluator will be the principal or assistant principal of your building. If you are an elementary teacher, your secondary evaluator will be your elementary supervisor. If your primary teaching assignment is science in a middle or high school, Monty Howell (Science Supervisor) or Rodney Russell (Science Specialist) will be your secondary evaluator. If you are an intrem, sometimes all three evaluations are done by principals in your building.
