Assessment Specifications (if available at this time)
This is all that is available regarding what MSL’s will look like
WHAT ARE MSL’S
Assessments that are not a part of the school accountability formula
Assessments that will be a part of the teacher and administrator evaluation system
TEACHER EVALUATION
• According to the standards in the teacher evaluation instrument, teachers receive ratings as follows: To what extent they demonstrate
leadership Meet the needs of diverse students Master the content Facilitate learning Reflect on the craft Contribute to academic success of
students (newly added)
TEACHER EVALUATION
• School administrators determine the ratings on the first five standards
• Student growth data from EOG’s, EOC’s, CTE post assessments, and MSL’s determine the rating on the sixth standard SBE has not yet decided on the permanent
components of the sixth standard rating and their respective weights.
The majority of the sixth standard rating will be based on how a teacher has impacted the learning of students.
Teacher growth values will be calculated based on all students a teacher teaches and when multiple assessments are required, on all data generated through the assessments.
ASSURE STUDENT READINESS
Teach the standards in ways students can demonstrate mastery of the standards on all assessments
