TAPS Component
Final Ratings Cut Scores
Level I 0-6
Level II 7-16
Level III 17-26
Level IV 27-30
Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) component of TKES provides evaluators with a qualitative, rubrics-based evaluation method for measuring teacher performance related to ten quality performance standards that are scored from 0 to 3. (sum score can range from 0-30)
![Page 9: ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS Teacher and Leader Appraisals Merit Pay Board Presentation October 6, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813654550346895d9ddb43/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

SGP Component
Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) measure of student growth for core state-tested subjects. A growth percentile can range from 1 to 99.
In 2014, SGPs were produced for the CRCTs (grades 4-8 reading, ELA, math, science, and social studies) and EOCTs.
In 2014, the mean SGP performance for all tested courses taught by the teacher was used in calculating the TEM.
SGP Growth Levels Student Results
Level I Mean Growth Percentile < 30
Level II Mean Growth Percentile > = 30 and < = 40
Level III Mean Growth Percentile > 40 and < = 65
Level IV Mean Growth Percentile > 65

SLOs have been developed by APS for all teachers of non-tested courses. (e.g., art, music, physical education)
About three-fourths of APS teachers teach non-tested subjects for at least some portion of the instructional day.
In 2013-2014, all teachers of non-tested courses were required to have at least one growth measure.
In 2014-2015, all teachers must have two growth measures. They may be a combination of SGP (i.e., Georgia Milestones) and SLO courses.
In order to fulfill this requirement, APS has developed over 300 SLO assessments.

Growth Target (for SLOs)
The target for individual student growth is 30%. The target for a teacher is 80%. (i.e., of students making 30% growth)

LKES has three dimensions: LAPS, Student Growth, and Gap Reduction. The Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) has the same four levels as the teacher
scale: Exemplary, Proficient, Needs Development, or Ineffective.

In 2010, the State of Georgia received $400 million in competitive Race-to-the-Top (RT3) grant funds to promote student growth.
Atlanta Public Schools is one of Georgia’s 26 Race-to-the-Top (RT3) districts.
As a participant APS aligned to Georgia’s RT3 scope of work and received $39 million RT3 funds.

Merit pay is a GA RT3 scope of work requirement that RT3 districts provide a one-time payment to individual teachers and school administrators based on student growth and overall performance.
As an RT3 district, APS allocated $1,565,000 for merit pay from the initial $39 million provided by the GADOE.
APS must spend all of the set-aside allocation for merit pay on individual teachers and school administrators.
What is Merit Pay?
![Page 19: ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS Teacher and Leader Appraisals Merit Pay Board Presentation October 6, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813654550346895d9ddb43/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The $1,565,000 allocated for merit pay will be disbursed in three tiers.
Tier 1: We are required by the GADOE to pay teachers ($2500) and administrators ($2300) a set amount based on individuals scoring in the top 10% of the Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM) and Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) of the district.
Tier 2: The district will pay $2500 to teachers who receive a Level IV on the TAPS summative rating and do not have a TEM score.
Tier 3: Remaining funds will be evenly distributed in an amount no less than $1000 to teachers who score in the next grouping of highest scoring teachers (11%-30%) on TEM.
How is APS Implementing Merit Pay?
