ADEPT Reminders
Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
  • Please ensure that all SLO observations and summative conferences have occurred before the date set in your ADEPT plan which should be before April 30th.
  • If an educator does not meet the SLO Business Rules for attendance, and is Incomplete on the SLO, use the “Skip SLO” feature and make a note in SCLead.org. According to our SLO Business Rules, districts also have the autonomy to allow the educator to have a shortened SLO interval if the educator is present for less than 85% of the interval. We do not recommend giving an SLO rating of “Needs Improvement” if the SLO was impacted by a teacher’s attendance such as leave. 
 
Auto Complete
The state-level “Auto Complete” feature in SCLead.org completes all eligible open evaluations for the current academic year for Classroom-Based Teachers and Special Areas Educators who are on a GBE evaluation with a Continuing contract. The feature sets Overall Status and/or Recommendations for the evaluations as (Continuing GBE/Met/Rehired) if not already set. This feature allows ADEPT Coordinators to focus on educators with results of “Not Met” or who may not be rehired the next school year, or educators scheduled for Continuing Formative evaluations next school year. For classroom-based teachers, the SLO score or “skip SLO” must be present for auto completion to fill in Overall Status and recommendations. Based on your feedback, we shifted auto-completion to occur every Friday from May 6, 2022, until June 17, 2022.

FAQ
When will the ADEPT Plan template be available in SCLead.org?
We anticipate that the ADEPT Plan will be available in SCLead.org no later than May 2, 2022. All district plans must be entered in SCLEAD.org. Do not submit a hard copy of the district’s ADEPT plan. The deadline to enter your district’s ADEPT Plan in SCLead.org is June 1, 2022. Please remember to complete the Addendum at the back of the ADEPT plan template. A Word version of the ADEPT plan has been provided for you to assist with drafting the plan before transferring text into SCLead.org once the ADEPT Plan template is ready.
