Massachusetts DESE Rubric for

Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP)

for Occupational and Physical Therapists

The Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) Rubric: Implementation for Occupational and Physical Therapists (SISP:OTPT) was developed to supplement the SISP Rubric when evaluating occupational and physical therapists in school settings.

This resource is to be used in conjunction with the SISP Rubric and does not alter the standard educator evaluation process (e.g. forms, procedures, timelines).

Included in this document are descriptors at the level of Proficient as a guide for evaluators.

Definitions of Unsatisfactory, Needs Improvement, and Exemplary can be found in the Guide to Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) Rubric to assist the evaluator with further clarification of performance criteria.
