The three components of Teacher Keys consist of: Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards, or TAPS, Student Growth, and Surveys of Instructional Practice. Each component contributes to the overall Teacher Effectiveness Measure.   Teachers will receive a Teacher Effectiveness Measure, or TEM, based on documentation and data from the three components of Teacher Keys.   Teachers of Non-Tested Subjects LEA-Developed, DOE-Approved Student Learning Objectives 6/1/2014
