Other Proposed Requirements

A teacher be must observed at least two times each year, unless the teacher had received a rating of effective or highly effective on the two most recent evaluations. Using the same evaluation tool.

Student Growth and Assessment Component

House Bill 5223 requires that the student growth and assessment component of a teacher's evaluation consist of the state student growth and assessment measurement standards

School Level Aggregate Data can be part of the evaluation.
