Race to the Top

Comprehensive Evaluation System 20% - student growth on state assessments

20% - locally selected measures of student achievement that are determined to be rigorous and comparable across classrooms

60% - Other measures of teacher/principal effectiveness -40pts must be classroom observations-20 pts can be other local measures (portfolios, self and/or peer assessment , surveys, etc.)-Goal setting (maximum 5pts)

(Districts have the option to use state assessments as their locally selected measure resulting in it counting 40%)

(100 Total Points)

Composite Score Break-Down

If a teacher or principal receives an overall score of ineffective or developing, a TIP or PIP must be formulated and implemented (no later than 10 days after the date on which the teachers must report prior to the opening of classes for the school year.

Improvement Plans

Must include: The needed areas of improvement A timeline for achieving improvement The manner in which improvement will be

assessed Differentiated activities to support

improvement in those areas

TIPS and PIPS

Amended not replaced APPR regulations Value-added growth model New performance ratings (highly effective, effective,

developing, ineffective) Total composite score of 100 Includes Principal Evaluations Student results will be a component of the evaluation Evaluator training required Multiple classroom observations required New Improvement Plan (TIP and PIP) requirements New rules for expedited disciplinary proceedings in

certain limited cases. Tailored professional development

APPR Changes

Focus on the components in the 60%, other measures of teacher and principal effectiveness in the APPR regulations

Build a complete understanding as an administrative team and teaching staff of the new NYS Teaching Standards (released January 11, 2011)

Form an APPR committee (including collective bargaining members) to align the local measures (classroom observation tool, parts of the APPR summative, portfolios, etc.) to the NYS Teaching Standards.

Put both the “What” and the “How” in place Collaborate with each other…Share observation tools,

feedback forms, strategies, tips, etc.
