The state board of education voted on October 15th to postpone the use of the state summative assessment data in conjunction with the fifteen percent (15%) component for the teacher’s evaluation in the tested grades and subjects. For the 2015-2016 school year, all teachers will write two (2) student learning goals.
The Policy 5310 waiver will also postpone the mandated student roster verification procedures due to budget cuts imposed by the governor. State Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano indicated the roster verification process was very labor intensive for the teachers. He also is very supportive of not having an evaluation system that evaluates teachers differently based on the subject they teach.
A special thanks to all AFT members who made comments when Policy 5310 was on review.
No Roster Verification!
STANDARDS - 80%
TWO STUDENT LEARNING GOALS – 15%
SCHOOL-WIDE GROWTH – 5%
