• Will use the evaluation tool for 100% of teachers and principals by SY2013-14
• Ensure consistency and comparability of instructional effectiveness across districts by basing evaluation tools on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP)
• Will use the evaluation system to identify and remove ineffective/ unsatisfactory teachers and principals from their positions
• Ensure that high-poverty, historically underperforming schools will have teacher retention rates equal to or greater than the other schools in their district
• Will turn around the lowest-achieving schools using one of the four intervention methods outlined in the Race to the Top Application Guidance
• Will support and leverage significant STEM investment that will sharpen and expand high-quality STEM teaching and learning in the classroom and during out-of-school time
• Will tie their data systems to the state’s expanding longitudinal data system and to an innovative data portal offering rich and easily accessible datasets for all public education stakeholders
