NMTEACH: What Has Changed? Student Achievement Data (STAM) will now be current New release date Simplified process: classifications reduced from 107 to 3 Single statewide plan STEPS

Current Student Achievement Effective beginning this year New evaluations will include student achievement data from 2014, 2015, & 2016 Student achievement will no longer “lag” a year Beginning this year, student achievement measures will reflect the most current year’s data instead of lagging a year.
