Elements of Evaluation
2011 © New Leaders | 10
Student Learning (45%)
Half of the student learning element based on the state test
Recommended Additional Guidelines:
• For state test portion of student learning, weight growth measures more heavily than attainment
• For locally developed measures, establish approved set of options for districts to choose
Recommended Guidance from State:
• Provide guidance to districts to include non-test measures of student graduation or grade progression for secondary schools not demonstrating high graduation rates
• Provide guidance around using local measures to extend grade levels and subjects covered as possible
2011 © New Leaders | 11
Examples of Approved Measures
Potential Local District Measures
• State tests and end-of-course exams
• ACT/SAT suites of assessments
• “Off the shelf” assessments approved for district-wide use (e.g. NWEA, DIBELS)
• AP/IB/NIC suites of assessments
• Graduation
• Postsecondary matriculation, persistence, placement
• Completion/success in advanced coursework, including dual enrollment
• 9th grade to 10th grade promotion rate / 9th grade retention rate
2011 © New Leaders | 12
Teacher Effectiveness (5%)
Opportunity for district innovation
Possible Measures:
• Growth in the percentage of teachers making adequate growth in student achievement
• Differing strategies for teachers at differing levels of effectiveness OR increased retention of effective and highly effective teachers
• Principal success in improving teachers effectiveness (though this can be challenging to operationalize)
