[CASL-L] ESEA waiver draft document

[IRENE KWIDZINSKI]

Today's CASL ning blog:

Contrary to the 22.5% quoted in this article in the Stamford Advocate "Ignoring 
the evidence on teacher evaluations,"  the ESEA waiver request meeting handouts 
recommend testing as 45-50% of a teacher's evaluation. 

In Principle 3: Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership, of the No Child 
Left Behind (ESEA) Waiver Request,  PEAC (the Performance Evaluation Advisory 
Council) proposes the following four components for Connecticut's new Teacher 
Evaluation System:
	1. Multiple indicators of student learning (45%)
	2. Teacher observation and professional practice (40%)
	3. Feedback from peers and parents (10%)
	4. Indicators of school-wide student learning or student feedback (5%)
 
The new Administrator Evaluation System will mirror the Teacher Evaluation 
System.

The new evaluation system will be piloted during the 2012-2013 school year with 
statewide implementation in 2013-2014.

The State Department of Education wants your feedback.  Read CT's 
proposed draft and email written feedback (title1waivers at ct.gov) by Tuesday, 
February 14 at 5:00.

The waiver request must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Education by 
February 21, 2012.
