In the past year, how much progress do you think your state has made in creating and implementing a comprehensive and coherent educator effectiveness system?

Percentage of Work Left to Accomplish

What percentage of the work do you think your state STILL HAS TO COMPLETE to have a well-planned and implemented comprehensive and coherent system of educator effectiveness by 2014?

to do it

Framing the Educator Effectiveness Agenda and Implementing the Work:

Alignment and Coherence in the Context of Complexity

Challenge articulated in ME’s DRAFT Action Plan

Address issues around cohesiveness in the system and how to get agreement among key stakeholders groups around the theory of action.

Build culture of trust continuous learning and support.

We need to address local control issues, get buy-in by school boards and superintendents.

Urgent need to identify the groups and a meaningful way to communicate with these groups.
