STEPS

3. 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.
This year’s summative will display STAM data from 2014, 2015, This means that two years of data will fall off of the evaluation and that data will be current.

4. New Release Date Old System: Spring release date
New System: Fall release date
Summative reports will be available to districts in September
This means new deadlines and more time for districts to get data in

5. Simplified Process
Prior to this year’s summative, teachers had to decode:

Levels
This, combined with plans, allowed for 107 possible classifications
