David Guyette, Laura Six, Rose Drake and Paige KinnairdMembers of the ESCD ETA APPR Committee
The New Evaluation SystemAPPR
Education Law §3012-c requires a new performance evaluation system for classroom teachers.
(Annual Professional Performance Review - APPR) Commissioner’s Regulations and Regents Rules support and
interpret the law.
The evaluation system is designed to measure effectiveness using: 1. Student achievement data (State and Local)
2. NYS approved performance rubrics3. Evidence in meeting NYS standards
Definition of a Classroom Teacher
From Regulation...(12) Classroom teaching service means teaching service in
the public schools of New York State,which requires certification pursuant to this Part.
The current definition of a teacher in the classroom teaching service is defined in section 80-1.1 of the Commissioner’s Regulations.
Classroom Teacher Exclusions
* School psychologists, School Counselors, and School Social workers who are pupil personnel service providers
* A classroom teacher performing instructional support services for more than 40% of his/her time (ex. CSE chair, IST)
* Supplemental school personnel (ex. Teaching Assistants)* Pre-K Teachers* Library Media Specialists* Certified Speech Pathologists
Defined Purpose for APPR Evaluation System
The purpose of the comprehensive evaluation system is two-fold:
1. to measure teacher effectiveness based on multiple measures, including student achievement.
2. to ensure that there is an effective teacher in every classroom.
NYS goal in implementing new evaluation process: Foster a culture of continuous professional growth for educators to grow and improve their instructional practice, resulting in increased student achievement, and college and career readiness.
Key Principles of APPR
NYS’s new evaluation system follows these design principles:
1. Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) evaluations for all classroom teachers.
2. Clear, rigorous expectations for instructional excellence.3. Prioritizing student learning.4. Multiple measures of performance.5. Scores comprised of 4 performance levels to rate teacher
effectiveness.6. Regular constructive feedback and ongoing professional
development.
Determination of HEDI and Composite Scores
All teachers must be evaluated onan annual basis. Three criteria will be used
to determine HEDI and Annual Composite Scores:
* State score based on student achievement* Local score based on student achievement* Other measures of effectiveness comprised of
announced and unannounced observations.
New Rating System as Part of APPR
Teacher effectiveness is determined using three distinct criteria each resulting in a score based on
four performance levels:
* Highly Effective* Effective
* Developing* Ineffective
(HEDI is the acronym)

Student Learning Objectives (SLO)
SLOs are carefully planned academic goals for what a student will learn over a given time period.
They represent the most important learning for the year (or semester or quarter where applicable).
SLOs directly link a teacher’s classroom instruction to specific measures of student achievement or growth in the relative content area.
The process leads to objectives that can be reliably measured for student growth.
Local Score Based on Student Achievement (20% of Composite Score)
Scoring of SLOs and Local MeasurePoint assignment – based on percentage of
students meeting growth goals
Rating.... % of students meeting goal ... HEDI ScoreHighly Effective (H).... 86-100%... 18-20 pointsEffective (E) ................ 55-85%...... 9-17 pointsDeveloping (D)............ 30-54% ...... 3-8 pointsIneffective (I) ................ 0-29% ....... 0-2 points
Other Measures of Effectiveness (60% of Composite Score)
Of the 100 points possible for a teacher's Composite Score, 60 of those points are generated through:
•Rubrics approved by NYS•Sources of evidence: observations, visits, portfolios, etc.
Tenured teachers must have two observations - one announced and one unannounced.
The Peer-Partnering and Self-Directed Options are no longer available.
Non-tenured teachers will have three observations, two announced and one unannounced.
The Teacher Rubric(60% of Composite Score)
Charlotte Danielson’s
The Framework for Teaching – 2011 revised
*SED approved rubric which is aligned with NYS Teaching Standards as well as Common Core Learning Standards.
*Four domains with 22 measurable components with four measures of effectiveness in each component – Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, Ineffective (HEDI)
*Differentiated for tenured and non-tenured teachers with a Teacher Improvement Plan (TIP) process.

Tenured Teachers = score based on two observations. (one announced/one unannounced)
Non-Tenured Teachers = score based on three observations. (two announced/one unannounced)

The Composite Score
Education Law §3012-c(2)(a) requires annual professional performance reviews (APPRs) to result in a single composite teacher effectiveness score, which incorporates multiple measures of effectiveness.
The composite score is on a 100 point basis.
The Composite Score
100 points maximum possible:
20 points come from State Growth HEDI Score20 points come from Local Growth HEDI Score60 points come from Teacher Evaluation using

Teacher Improvement Plan (TIP)
A teacher who receives an annual rating of “developing” or “ineffective” must have a teacher improvement plan (TIP).
A TIP must be implemented no later than 10 days after the date on which teachers are required to report prior to the opening of classes for the school year.
The format and process for plans are set in the plan. Outcome can be improvement or possible employment action at the conclusion of the 2nd year.
Appeals Process
Teacher may appeal their annual rating...
•Procedural or Substantive basis•Specified process and format•Strict timeline
Next Steps
•Approval of plan by ECSD School Board.
•Submission of plan to NYSED Review Room.
•Training for administrators and teachers.
•Assessment development where needed.
•Implementation of system.
