2. Legislation Requires Changes: • Evaluations annually • Measures student achievement • Uses multiple rating categories that take into account data on student growth • Compliance no later than September 1, 2011

4. While we must comply, there are questions that do not have definite answers and there continues to be additional changes. We cannot control legislation but we can control our approach.

5. We must work together and remain flexible and patient. • We are all in this together and the purpose is quite simple: to implement a process that allows all LOEA staff to grow and develop to be their best for the result of maximum achievement for every student.
