Educator Effectiveness

By July 1, 2013, all school districts must submit to ODE a statement of assurance regarding their evaluation and support system and implementation plan and its alignment to the requirements outlined in the Oregon Framework.

In submitting this document, the district assures that its evaluation and support system and implementation plan includes:

  • State adopted Model Core Teaching Standards and Educational Leadership/Administrator Standards,
    • NOTE: If the district is using other standards, crosswalks of those standards to the state adopted standards must be included as part of the submission
  • State recommended scoring rubrics that include four performance levels,
    • NOTE: If the district is using other rubrics, crosswalks/gap analyses of those rubrics to the state adopted standards must be included as part of the submission
  • District selected multiple measures from the three categories of evidence:
    (1) professional practice, (2) professional responsibilities, and (3) student learning and growth (as a significant factor),

  • Professional growth and evaluation cycle, including use of evaluations for personnel decisions,

  • Aligned professional learning opportunities,

  • An implementation and training plan on the local evaluation system that assures a high degree of inter-rater reliability among evaluators, and
