Bill > H7141

This bill mandates that at least 50 percent of a classroom teacher's or school administrator's performance evaluation must be based on student learning growth or achievement, or 40 percent if less than three years of student performance data is available, with the remaining portion determined by district-approved evaluation plans; it specifies that student achievement measures for courses with statewide assessments can only be used if a statewide growth formula isn't approved, and for district assessments, only if achievement is a more appropriate measure of teacher performance. The bill also requires that student performance data for non-classroom instructional personnel should reflect their actual contribution to student outcomes in their areas of responsibility, and for performance salary schedules, student assessment data must come from statewide or district-determined assessments in the subjects taught.
