Proficient: Teacher demonstrated basic competence on standard(s) of performance.
10
Performance Rating Scale
Accomplished: Teacher exceeded basic competence on standard(s) of performance most of the time.
Distinguished: Teacher consistently and significantly exceeded basic competence on standard(s) of performance.
11
Performance Rating Scale
Not Demonstrated: Teacher did not demonstrate the competence on or failed to demonstrate adequate growth toward achieving standard(s) of performance.
NOTE: If the Not Demonstrated rating is used, the principal/evaluator must comment about why it was used.

Using the rubrics, carefully reflect on your performance of last year or to this point in the school year.
Fill out the rubrics and how you perceive your fulfillment of the practices.
At the end of each rubric consider:1. Artifacts or evidence to support your ratings.2. Fulfillment of the leadership responsibilities relating
to your attainment of your school accountability goals.

The pre-observation conference is a collaborative meeting between the teacher and his/her supervisor to…• Discuss the teacher’s self-assessment based on the
Teacher Evaluation Rubric, the teacher’s most recent professional development plan, and the lesson(s) to be observed;
• Provide the principal/evaluator with a written description of the lesson(s) and
• Prepare the principal/evaluator for the observation.

McREL TEACHER EVALUATION RUBRIC
McREL TEACHER EVALUATION RUBRIC with SAMPLE EVIDENCE
Sample Evidence created by the District Evaluation Advisory Committee (DEAC) is used as a guide for teachers and administrators to understand the rubric
The DEAC is comprised of Administrators and Pre-K to 12 teachers
Sample evidence is tailored to the NB School District
The DEAC discussed the sample evidence in numerous meetings
McREL TEACHER EVALUATION RUBRIC with SAMPLE EVIDENCE
Teach: Help educators better understand their impact and ultimately improve student outcomes.
Lead: Align leadership responsibilities with practices that we know have the greatest influence on learning.
Grow: Foster an environment of continual growth for all students and educators in New Jersey.
What is AchieveNJ?AchieveNJ is a comprehensive educator evaluation and support system

Notes:• Corrective Action Plans: After the first year, teachers who receive an
Ineffective or Partially Effective rating are required to have one additional observation, and multiple observers are required.
• Within the minimum requirements, all teachers must have at least one unannounced and one announced observation.

• Student Growth Percentiles
(SGPs) measure how much a student has learned from one year to the next compared to peers with similar academic history from across the state.
Growth baseline information is established by a student’s prior learning as measured by all of student’s NJ ASK results.
Calculating SGP Student Growth Percentiles
All students can show growth.
TEACHERS: SGP

Why Student Growth?
Proficiency does not tell the whole story. Under our current system, a school or teacher might only notice that Maria is
“Proficient” and that Albert is “Partially Proficient.”

Albert is a 5th Grade student in Ms. Jones’ Math Class. He has scored “Partially Proficient” in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, but each year his scale score has improved.
Ms. Jones notices that he scored a 165 scale score this year, but doesn’t quite
know what that means about
Albert’s growth.

Example: Identifying Academic Peers
Albert’s Prior Scores
Academic Peers’ Prior Scores
In order to figure out what that growth means, we first identify
Albert’s “Academic Peers”; these are students who
performed similarly to Albert in the past.
3rd Gr. 1504th Gr. 160
3rd Gr. ≈150
4th Gr. ≈160
These “Academic Peers” are
represented by students from across the state in many different school districts.

Albert’s SGP score is 70, which conveys that his 5th grade score is higher than 70% of his academic

between 130 and 185 on the 5th grade NJ ASK, with the majority of them
scoring below Albert’s score of 165.

Ms. Jones would then receive an
effectiveness rating by taking the median
SGP score on her roster.
In this scenario, Ms. Jones would receive a
rating of 51.

Albert’s SGP score is then placed on Ms. Jones’ course
roster so that we can see how she did with all of her
students.
Median SGP Score
TEACHERS: SGP
She has at least 20 student scores on her roster;◦ If she does not have 20 students in
year 1, she may receive an SGP score if she accrues 20 student scores over a period of up to 3 years.
Students are enrolled in class at least 70 percent of the time before the test; and
She has worked for at least 60 percent of the time before the test.
SGP Technical RulesMs. Jones can only receive a median SGP score if the following is true:
TEACHERS: SGP
SGP Technical RulesIn future years, Ms. Jones should know that: • If two or three years of data
are available, the Department will use the best available score — either the teacher’s median score of their current roster or the median of all student scores over the years available.

All teachers will set academic goals for their students at the beginning of each school year – called Student Growth
Objectives (SGOs).TEACHERS
All Teachers Set Student Growth Objectives
• SGOs: Annual, specific, and measureable academic goals for groups of students that are locally developed and assessed
• Creating an SGO: ― Collaborative process between teacher and immediate
supervisor― Principal has final decision
• SGOs can be based on:― Appropriate national, state or LEA-developed
assessments― Rubric-measured portfolios or performance
assessments
Teachers with an SGP score 1 - 2 SGOs
Teachers without an SGP score 2 SGOs
TEACHERS: SG0
Basic Steps for Creating an SGOIn setting SGOs, teachers should take the following steps:1. Choose or develop a quality measurement tool (examples
follow) that is aligned to applicable standards.
2. Determine students’ starting points based in available data.
3. With supervisor input and approval, set ambitious yet achievable student learning goals.
4. Track progress and refine instruction accordingly.
5. Review results and discuss score with supervisor.

TEACHERSThe SGO Process
Teachers, supervisors meet to discuss and set SGO w/ principal’s
approval
Adjustments to SGOs can be
made with approval
*For 2013–14 only. In subsequent years, SGOs must be set by Oct. 15.
Step 1: Choose or develop a
quality assessment
aligned to state standards
Step 2: Determine
students’ starting points
Step 3: Set ambitious and
feasible student growth objectives
Step 4: Track progress, refine instruction
Step 5: Review results and score

(e.g., Advanced Placement exams, DIBELS, EOC Biology)
• District, school and departmental tests (e.g., final exams, benchmark tests)
• Gold® (pre-K, K)• Writing and
reflection samples (ELA)
• Laboratory research notebook (sciences)
• Student project-based assessments (all subjects)
• Portfolio of student work (art, photography, graphic design, etc.)
• Lab Practicum (sciences)
• Sight reading performance (music)
• Dramatic performance (drama)
• Skills demonstration (physical education)
• Persuasive speech (public speaking)
*Note: The use of the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) for SGOs is prohibited for teachers who will also receive SGP scores based on those tests.
