14. What is on the Horizon? 6th Standard Update Teacher Effectiveness:
Effective this school year, the State Board of Education has added a new standard to the Teacher Evaluation Instrument.
For the school year, there will be no state-mandated consequences for teachers based on their sixth standard rating, but principals must discuss the standard with each teacher as part of the
evaluation process.

15. Only teachers with three or more years of data will receive a formal rating on the sixth standard; all other teachers will have student data populated in the sixth standard, but no formal rating.
A teacher’s rating on the sixth standard will be based on whether a teacher’s students meet growth expectations, exceed growth expectations, or fail to meet growth expectations.
An average of three years of student growth information will be used to determine the teacher’s rating.
