HCR 6 Original 2015 Regular Session Pierre
Present rule provides generally for the process for teacher evaluations and specifically provides that
50% of such evaluations shall be based on evidence of growth in student achievement using a value-
added assessment model as determined by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education
(BESE) for grade levels and subjects for which value-added data is available. Provides that teachers
and administrators receive a final composite score on annual evaluations to determine their
effectiveness rating for that academic year, with 50% of evaluations based on student growth and
the other 50% based on a qualitative assessment. Proposed rule retains present rule.
Present rule further provides that any educator receiving a rating of ineffective in either the student
growth or the qualitative performance component of the evaluation shall receive a final rating of
ineffective. Proposed rule repeals present rule.
