THINGS TO KNOW
STUDENT GROWTH
MEASURES:
Kansas school districts will include student growth as a significant
factor in the evaluation of classroom teachers and building leaders.
State approved student growth measures will document the specific
amount of student growth attributable to the teacher or building leader
between two identified points in time.
Multiple measures of student growth (more than one) must be met
before an educator can be rated as effective or highly effective.
State assessments are one possible measure and are a required
measure for all grade levels and content areas that give them.
Commercially purchased assessments and locally developed
performance assessments may also be used, once they are approved
by the KSDE.
KSDE GUIDANCE FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS:
LEAs should use the commercially purchased and locally developed
student growth measures they currently have. State assessments are
required as given.
All grade levels across schools in a district should use the same
measures.
Local performance assessments should be collaboratively designed,
reviewed and used across the district with strict adherence to an interrater agreement.
Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) or Student Learning Objectives
(SLOs) are to be developed with collaborative districtwide teams.
NEXT STEPS:
All districts will identify student growth measures to be
used and provide them to the KSDE (in a format to be
determined) by June 30, 2014.
A “default list” of student growth measures for LEA
reference will be available and posted on the web by
May 1, 2014.
