How can I refute the PDAS rating of my appraiser ?

I had to refute my rating one time. I have always received
exemplary ratings, but one year, a new administrator evaluated me unfairly. He said I
had written too many referrals. This is what I did. I did take the advice of my union
rep, and that advice was to arrange a meeting with my evaluator, show documentation that
could prove otherwise, and ask for a re-evaluation. So, if you have documentation of
other appraisals, or if "non-observable" criteria played too much of a role, he/she
cannot include this. For example, my evaluator could not document in-class behavior
problems and I presented him with documentation that proved I had indeed followed the
steps of behavior intervention-student conference, parent calls, counselor referrals,
parent conference, and so on. I had done this admin a favor by allowing some students
that another teacher could not handle into my class. I reminded him of that as I also
showed him my previous appraisals. It is best to try and work things out with the
appraiser first. They WILL appreciate this. Be professional and if that doesn't work,
keep documenting, and if your appraisal is truly unfair, then contact your rep for a
meeting with administrator. Do not worry; if you have one sub-par appraisal, it probably
won't affect your career too significantly. Hope that helps.
