Choosing your 15% on evaluations

Choosing your 15% achievement measure:

• For the 15% achievement portion of the teacher evaluation, the State Board approved a menu of options (below) from which teachers may choose, in cooperation with their administrator, by November 1.
• The chosen measures should reflect the educator’s primary responsibility as directly as possible.
• If you score a 3, 4 or 5 on TVAAS, (which you’ll find out when TVAAS comes back next spring/summer), you may substitute that number at that time.

 
What can I choose?

• Approved Measures for different types of teachers: http://www.team-tn.org/assets/educator-resources/Approved_Achievement_Measures_Matrix.pdf
• More explanation of the Expanded Options: http://www.team-tn.org/assets/educator-resources/Approved_Achievement_Measures_Expanded_Options.pdf

How are they going to turn my choice for the 15% into a 1-5 rating?

How does this figure into my overall score?
Overall Score Calculation
1. Overall Observation Score: _____ x 50 = _____
2. TVASS Score: _____ x 35 = _____
3. Achievement Measure Score: _____ x 15 = _____
 
Total Score Sum Lines 1-3=100% ______
 
The total score is then converted to an overall effectiveness rating using the following table:
Score Range=Overall Effectiveness Rating
200=1
200–274.99=2
275–349.99=3
350–424.99=4
