Effectiveness Data (10% of Final Summative Rating)

State law requires that student data significantly inform teacher evaluations. Under the EVSC teacher evaluation system, student data will account for 10% of the final summative rating. For the majority of teachers, that 10% will include at least two of the following factors: ISTEP growth data, locally developed assessment (LDA) data, performance toward school or corporation school improvement plan (SIP) goal, and school or corporation grade. The chart below shows the derivation of effectiveness data for each group of certificated staff. For a definition of certificated staff, see IC 20-29-2-4.

For most teachers, LDAs will be the work of their professional learning community (PLC), and the development of these assessments will occur during the first part of the 2014-15 school year. LDAs will be teacher created and peer reviewed. Information on LDAs is available on the EVSC teacher portal. A unique FAQ for Special Education LDAs is also available. Effectiveness data will be scored as follows:

LDAs – based on % of students showing improvement from pre- to post-assessment

1
Less than 20%

2
20-29.9%

3
30-59.9%

4
60-74.9%

5
75% or more

---

SIP Goal – based on school- or corporation-wide results

1
No improvement

2
Improvement toward, but SIP goal not met

3
Met SIP goal

4
Exceeded SIP goal, but did not meet SIP stretch goal

5
Met SIP stretch goal
