(EoCs) for Teacher
Effectiveness

EoCs—Purpose
1. Use in Teacher
Effectiveness
2. For HS students to meet
graduation requirements
(9‒12)
2
If EoCs are in the District/Charter Teacher
Effectiveness Plan:
• Group A: 15% EoCs for Other
Measures of Student
Achievement
• Groups B: 35‒50% EoCs for
Student Achievement
Measures
3
If EoCs are in the District/Charter Teacher
Effectiveness Plan:
• Teacher with multiple
preps?
• ONE EoC
• More data = better results

PED-Developed EoCs
• Elementary, Middle, and
High School
• Paper-Based Assessments
(PBA)
• Student Performance
Assessments (SPA)
• Core and elective subjects
• Developed by groups of
NM Educators

PED-Developed EoCs
• Frameworks available on PED
website
• http://ped.state.nm.us/Assess
mentAccountability/Assessmen
tEvaluation/EOC/index.html
• Include assessed standards and
test blueprints
• Essential for teachers!
7
PED-Developed EoCs
• Is the PED EoC
appropriate for my
class?
• Check framework.
• Assessed standards
should align with
curriculum.
8
District-Developed EoCs
When to create?
• If no EoC exists for a
course
• If PED EoC does not
align with curriculum*
*Must be significantly
different

EoCs for Use in Teacher Effectiveness
EoCs must be used in the preferential
order listed below:
1. PED-Developed
2. District-Developed/PEDApproved
3. District-Developed Common
Assessments (2013‒2014)
4. Teacher-Developed
(2013‒2014)
10
District-Developed/PED-Approved
Use if no PED-Developed EoC for
the course
Made available statewide once
approved
Quality Criteria on PED Website
11
District-Developed Common Assessments
May be used 2013‒2014
only.
Modified Quality Criteria for
ease of development (on
PED website).
Must be uniform across
district.
12
Teacher-Developed EoCs
May be used 2013‒2014 only.
Developed by one teacher
when no other teachers in
school or district teach that
course.
Modified Quality Criteria for
ease of development (on PED
website).

Growth Model
“Student Achievement
Measures” based on growth
model.
PED uses data of past student
achievement to produce
“projected score.”
Achievement compares “projected score” to actual
student score.
14
Growth Model
If actual student scores are
higher than projected student
scores, teacher receives a high
rating for Student Achievement
Measures.
Model produces high
correlation between predicted
and actual scores.
15
EoCs
Correlation
between
predicted
and actual
EoC at the
student
level = .86
At the
teacher
level = .94
