Teacher Evaluation: Overview

SGP is a measure of how much a student improves his or her state test performance from one year to the next compared to students across the state with a similar score history.

Teacher evaluation consists of two primary components:

• Teacher Practice - measured primarily by classroom observations; and
• Student Achievement  - measured by Student Growth Objectives, and, additionally, Student Growth Percentiles for teachers of students who take state tests.

A one page description of teacher evaluation is available in Teacher Evaluation and Support.
