Sec. 4.
(a) Measures to be used shall include the following:
(1)
Measures provided by the department based on student achievement and/or growth
on statewide assessments.
(2)
Measures based on other assessments developed or procured by a school
corporation for the purpose of showing student growth and/or achievement. The
department will issue guidance to assist corporations in identifying and
developing assessments, which may include commercially available or locally
developed assessments, performance tasks, portfolios, or other measures of
student growth and achievement.
(3)
Measures closely aligned with content standards, as applicable, to reflect
ambitious learning goals and proportional representation of content.
(b) Selection and weight of measures. The use and weighting of student measures shall directly relate the assessments that most accurately measure student learning according to the following priority:
(1) Where a mandatory
state assessment exists, a school corporation must use it as a measure of
student learning. If that state assessment provides individual growth model
data, the school corporation must use it as that teacher's primary measure of
student learning.
(2) Where a state
assessment does not exist, an assessment developed or procured by a corporation
that is used for common grades or subjects shall be used as a measure of
student learning.
(3) Only when
there is no state, corporation, or school assessment shall a school corporation
utilize class-specific, teacher-created assessments as a measure of student
learning for evaluation purposes.
(4) Corporations may use multiple student
learning measures. If corporations choose to use multiple sources of data, the
primary measure will carry the most weight in relation to the other student
learning measures.
(c) Negative impact on student learning shall be defined as follows:
(1) For classes measured by statewide
assessments with growth model data, the department shall determine and revise
at regular intervals the cut levels in growth results that would determine
negative impact on growth and achievement. Cut levels shall be published by
August 1.
(2) For classes that are
not measured by statewide assessments, negative impact on student growth shall
be defined locally where data show a significant number of students across a
teacher's classes fails to demonstrate student learning or mastery of standards
established by the state.
(d) The department will provide guidance to districts on the best selection of assessments.
