ESSA: Effective Educator Work Group Recommendations EFFECTIVE EDUCATOR DEFINITION
Teacher Assignment RCW 28A.405.100 (8)(a) Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, evaluation results for certificated classroom teachers and principals must be used as one of multiple factors in making human resource and personnel decisions. Human resource decisions include, but are not limited to:Staff assignment, including the consideration of an agreement to an assignment by an appropriate teacher, principal, and superintendent; and reduction in force. Nothing in this section limits the ability to collectively bargain how the multiple factors shall be used in making human resource or personnel decisions, with the exception that evaluation results must be a factor.

Paraeducator Qualifications • Paraeducators: • OSPI will maintain the paraeducator qualifications required under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) until paraeducator standards are adopted and funded by the Legislature. • Sec. 1119 (c) through (h)

Pause and Reflect • Whatprocedures and processes are implemented by your district to make sure teachers are assigned in-field (i.e., endorsement matches teaching assignment)? • Who is responsible for ensuring teaching meet state certification requirements? • What action(s) does your district take to make certain that the most qualified and experienced teachers are working with the most at-risk students?
