  1. Tenure Law and Associated Value-Added Evaluation Requirements By: Jennifer Rodriguez

  2. Why new teacher reform? • The Teacher Effectiveness and Accountability for the Children of New Jersey Act (TEACH NJ) was signed in to law on August 6, 2012. • Governor Christie’s Reform Agenda will move public education in New Jersey away from an antiquated, ineffective model that props up failing schools and toward a system that demands accountability, rewards highly effective teachers, utilizes performance measures and ensures each and every child receives the quality education they deserve. • AchieveNJ is designed to recognize those who excel, identify those who need additional support, and provide meaningful feedback and professional development to all teachers. NJDOE

  3. Old Tenure Law – Before 8/6/12 • Tenure was awarded after 3 years of service • Compensation was granted based on years of service • School districts avoided dismissing “inefficiency” teachers due to the long process and cost • Binary measurement with limited ability to differentiate levels of effectives and inform growth • Single measure of educator practice • Three required observations for non-tenured teachers, one for tenured teachers

  4. New Tenure Law 8/6/12 Novice- tenure is awarded after 4 years of service and required to attain two positive summative evaluations “effective” “highly effective” within their first three years. Novice/Veterans- tenure can be removed for “partially ineffective” or “ineffective” in an annual summative evaluation and be on CAP Compensation is based on summative ratings 4 tiered measurement with greater ability to differentiate levels of effectiveness and inform growth – highly effective, effective, partially ineffective and ineffective Based on multiple measures of student achievement* and educator practice Multiple observations required for ALL teaching staff members Improved training on the evaluation system and ongoing calibration and monitoring of observations to ensure correct implementation

  5. How will new evaluation improve my teaching? New Evaluation (Danielson Model) will provide teachers with: • knowing areas of weakness and strengths (Rubric scored) • valuable feedback and recommendations (teacher & administrator collaboration) • teacher involvement in their own evaluation (fair process) • ongoing professional development and individual PD plan to support student achievement • different measures such as SGOs (data) to measure student growth

  6. Final note… As educators… we want to excel in improving our teaching practices by keeping up-to-par on latest teaching practices promote student achievement through differentiated instruction and positive feedbacks using data driven instruction in all content areas collaboration with colleagues (Team Work) knowing that there is always room for improvement
