Application of Quality Standards
•
Each quality standard includes “elements”—which provide a more detailed
description of the knowledge and skills needed for each standard.
•
All districts must base their evaluations on the full set of quality standards
and associated elements or on their own locally developed standards that
meet or exceed the state’s quality standards and elements.
•
Districts that use their own locally developed standards must crosswalk
those standards to the state’s quality standards and elements, and be able
to report for each principal and teacher (1) a final performance evaluation
rating, and (2) performance results for each quality standard.
