The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to set the formulas used for measuring student learning growth on the statewide, standardized assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and the statewide, standardized end-of-course assessment in Algebra I. Additionally, the proposed rule sets the standards for determining the performance levels of highly effective, effective, needs improvement or developing, and unsatisfactory in school district evaluation systems for the student performance component in teacher evaluations of courses associated with a statewide, standardized assessment in English Language Arts or Mathematics, or the statewide, standardized end-of-course assessment in Algebra I (or any combination of such courses). Also, the proposed rule establishes the procedures associated with implementing the formulas and standards.
