Effective Dec 1, 2013Register November 2013 No. 695Department of Public Instruction
(1) The state educator effectiveness system evaluates educators based on two components: educator practice and student outcomes. The department recognizes that any one model for evaluating educator practice might not suit every school district or charter school established under s. 118.40 (2r), Stats. Therefore, the department has developed an application process for school districts, consortia of school districts, and charter schools established under s. 118.40 (2r), Stats., that wish to use alternative models to measure teacher and principal practice.
(2) Under s. 115.415 (3), Stats., the department must evaluate for approval any alternative model from a school district, consortium of school districts, or charter school established under s. 118.40 (2r), Stats. This chapter establishes the process by which an alternative model may be approved based on its alignment with the state standards.
