Teachers are evaluated on instruction, planning and environment, and include observations of the classroom and review of prior evaluations. Th ese observations count for 50 percent of a teacher’s evaluation. Teachers are also evaluated on student growth and achievement. Th ese evaluations are not included in the mid-year evaluation data. Th e 50 percent quantitative evaluation comes from student academic achievement. Of this 50 percent, 35 percent is from the Tennessee Value-Added Assess- ment System (TVAAS) student growth measure which compares actual growth to a student’s projected growth. Th e other 15 percent comes from alternate student achievement data selected by the teacher and principal from a list of state-approved options. Th e achieve- ment measures could include schoolwide or individual TVAAS data or ACT/ SAT assessments if a teacher scores a “3,” “4” or “5” on the observation evaluation. Options include state assessments (discipline-specifi c/TCAP), schoolwide TVAAS, ACT or SAT assessments and graduation rates. At the end of the year, overall evaluation scores takes the three components (50 percent observation, 35 percent growth, 15 percent student achievement) and combines them into a single rating from “1,” signifi cantly below expecta- tions to “5,” signifi cantly above expectations.
