North Carolina Educator Evaluation Process
Why the Evaluation Process?
Assumptions
• Educating students is not
an easy task
• We can all improve
57
North Carolina Educator Evaluation Process
Why the Evaluation Process?
The reason we observe,
gather student growth data,
get feedback and discuss
our practice is to improve
the learning of our
students.

What have we

in the “High Growth” category have consecutive years of teachers in the Exceeds Expected Growth category

What this tells us:
Teaching matters
deeply in student
outcomes.
65

Updated Evaluation Results
SY 2011-12
SY 2012-13
66
What this tells us:
Student Growth, as measured using
value-added data, and ratings on
Standards 1-5 continue to be very,
very loosely correlated. Additionally, it
appears that we are measuring one,
holistic element of “good teaching”
rather than five discrete
standards of practice.

Reflection and Questions
How good of a job are we doing at
recognizing instructional practices
that predict student learning?
Does the conventional wisdom that
critical feedback is demoralizing to
teachers hold true?

Additional Reporting

Growth will be reported for each school: exceeds,
meets, or does not meet expected growth

A separate achievement score for math and
reading will be reported for schools serving
grades K-8

The report card for schools serving 3rd graders
will contain information on the number and
percentage of third graders who are retained or
promoted based on reading performance
