INSTRUCTIONAL TIME AND

THE REGENTS REFORM

AGENDA

“The amount of testing should be the minimum

necessary to inform effective decision-making at the

classroom level.”

NYSED Office of Teacher and Leader Effectiveness

reviewed the APPR and recommended “thoughtful

adjustments.”

Memorandum is now posted on District’s website for

review.

APPR REVIEW MEMORANDUM

•NYSUT Teacher Practice Rubric

•Up to 60% of final APPR

Classroom Observation

•State Provided Score based on assessments

•School-Wide Number based on assessments


Growth Measures

•Student Learning Objectives (local assessments)

•SLOs - AIMSweb/STAR assessments


Locally Selected Measures

TEACHER EVALUATION BASICS

Consideration #1:

Pre-assessments are not a requirement. Teachers

may now use historical data to inform the baseline

used to set targets within SLOs.

District Response:

Teachers now encouraged to use historical data to

set SLO goals.

Consideration #2:

The District may use the same assessments in Task

3 (Locally-selected measures) and in Task 2 (State

Growth) to assess the same students within the

same grade and subject.

• State Provided Score based on assessments

Growth Measures

• Student Learning Objectives based on assessments

Locally-Selected Measures

CONSIDERATION #2 IN PRACTICE

Consideration #3:

Reduce the number of assessments used in Task 2

(State Growth) and in Task 3 (Locally -selected

measures) through the use of a school-wide measure

on one or more State/Regents assessments.

CONSIDERATION #3 IN PRACTICE

District Response:

Consideration #2 and #3 suggest we remove our

locally-adopted assessments and replace them with

existing State assessments.

We do not feel these considerations would provide

our teachers or administrators with the necessary

information for effective decision-making at the

classroom, school, or district level.
