• Multiple measures
• At least ? of the 60 points based on classroom observation
• Multiple observations by principal or other trained administrator are required
• Any remaining teaching standards not addressed in classroom observation must be assessed at least once a year

Locally comparable means:

The same locally selected measures of student achievement or growth across all classrooms in same grade/subject in district or BOCES.

Districts may use more than one type of locally selected measure for different groups of teachers within a grade/subject if districts/BOCES prove comparability based on standards of Education and Psychological Testing.

May use growth or achievement measure from these: (Note: the August 2011 Court decision holds that local measures must be different from the growth measures used in the growth sub component above although the local measures may be based on the same state assessment, among other options)

• List of State-approved 3rd party, State or Regent-equivalent assessments.
• District, regional or BOCES-developed assessments provided that the district or BOCES verifies comparability and rigor
• School-wide, group, or team results based on state or allowable local assessments, provided that the district or BOCES verifies comparability and rigor
• Structured District or BOCES-wide goal setting process for use with any state, approved 3rd Party, or school (teacher-created) assessment agreed to by evaluator and teacher provided that the district or BOCES verifies comparability and rigor
  

State has published an initial list of 3rd party assessments that meet prescribed criteria for state-approved list.

• Nothing to Date

ELA/Math 4-8 (2011-12 and beyond)

• Result of student growth percentile model, which may include consideration of poverty, ELL, SWD status
• Value-added model with additional controls when approved, which can be no earlier than 2012-2013
• Policies on Teacher of Record and linked students
• State has selected by RFP a provider of growth and value-added measures

All Other Classroom Teachers (2012-13 and beyond)

• Approach 65% coverage of teachers with growth/value-added measures by extending growth/VA model, as applicable, to existing and new (if resources available) state assessments:
  • 9-11 ELA 2011
  • Math Regents
  • PARCC as available
  • If approved: 6-8 science, social studies and related Regents
  • If approved: progress monitoring in K-3 ELA, math
• Feasibility analysis with each expansion area to determine applicability of growth/VA methodology to pre/post tests

Growth Using Comparable Measure when no state assessment with an approved growth/VA model

For all applicable grades/subjects: State-determined district-wide student growth goal-setting process used with:

For core subjects: 6-8 science and social studies, high school English Language Arts, math, science and social studies courses associated in 2010-11 with Regents exams or, in the future, with other state assessments:

• State assessment if one exists (or Regent equivalents)
• If not, District determined assessment from list of state-approved 3rd party assessments and Regents equivalents
  

For other grades/subjects: District-determined assessments from options below:

• List of State-approved 3rd party assessments
• District- or BOCES-developed assessments provided that the district or BOCES verifies comparability and rigor
• School-wide, group, or team results based on state assessments
• School or teacher-created assessment
