MOSL: Default MeasureWhy a default measure?The state recognized that NYC schools were being challenged with new curricular materials and MOTP initiatives, and created an option which would provide schools an alternative to having additional assessments over and above their mandated work loadWhat is the default measure?Schools will conduct all mandated state assessments, and then use the school-wide growth average of those assessments (as compared with schools of like demographics around the state) as the local measure (20%) for each teacher in the schoolWhat is the benefit of default?There are no additional assessment requirements, other than the already required state/comparable measuresThe state does all the calculations no additional work is required by teachersReinforces that all teachers in a school are responsible for the overall achievement of every student in the school
