Teacher Status – First Status For all teachers and principals the first status (for a cohort) for Standard 6 or Standard 8 will be generated from the best two out of three valid Standard 6 or 8 ratings. School-level growth that has been assigned to a teacher as a result of a waiver (from NCFEs or ASW) will function as a valid Standard 6 rating. School-level growth that has been assigned as a result of a lack of data for a teacher (i.e., not from a waiver) will not count as a valid Standard 6 rating.

Status Scenarios Met Expected Growth -2.5 Did not meet Expected Growth 1.2 Met Expected Growth Rating from Rating from Rating from Teacher has individual-level data for three years.

First status in Fall 2016 (provided teacher has valid data in SY ).

Status Scenarios – Second Year Met Expected Growth -2.5 Did not meet Expected Growth 1.2 Met Expected Growth Rating from Rating from Rating from Exceeded Expected Growth Rating from Teacher receives second status in fall of Rating from “rolls off”.
