Present law requires that 50% of teacher and administrator evaluations be based on evidence of
growth in student achievement using a value-added assessment model for grade levels and subjects
for which value-added data is available.
Proposed law instead requires that 50% of teacher and administrator evaluations be based on
evidence of growth in student achievement as determined by the state board. Further provides that
data derived through a value-added assessment model shall be a factor in determining student growth
and shall comprise 35% of the overall evaluation.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
