Effective teaching and leadership matter. Within the school environment, teachers and administrators have the most impact in creating equity and excellence for each and every student.

Undertaking the work of designing, implementing, and monitoring an effective evaluation and support system for educators is both complex and time consuming; however, based upon the powerful correlation between teacher and principal effectiveness to student learning and growth, this work is imperative and of the utmost importance.

As part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility Waiver process, the Oregon Department of Education with the Educator Effectiveness Workgroup, are currently developing state guidelines for local evaluation and support systems in Oregon. The Oregon Framework for Teacher and Administrator Evaluation and Support Systems incorporate the requirements found in Senate Bill 290 and the ESEA waiver criteria set forth in Oregon’s ESEA Flexibility Request. The Oregon Framework was endorsed by the State Board of Education on June 28, 2012.

	Educator Effectiveness Summits The Summits provided guidance to districts on implementation of SB290 outlined in the Oregon Framework for Teacher and Administrator Evaluation and Support Systems. Participants had an opportunity for networking and to hear lessons learned from early adopters. Portland Bend		2012-13 Regional Workshops The Oregon Department of Education (ODE), in partnership with the Oregon Education Association (OEA), Chalkboard Project, Confederation of School Administrators (COSA) and regional ESDs, is offering Educator Effectiveness Regional Workshops this spring to support districts across the state implement their new evaluation systems.
