  1. APPR “Transition”§3012-c and §3012-d Slides updated 5.17.16

  2. Emergency Action • At their December 2015 meeting, the Board of Regents [again] took emergency action • Introduced APPR transition scores and ratings for 2015-16 through 2018-19. • This was in response to the Governors’ Common Core Commission recommendation #21. • Both §3012-c and §3012-d were impacted.

  3. “Transition” Period • During the transition period, LEAs must calculate both original and transition scores and ratings. • The results of grades 3-8 ELA/math State assessments and any State-provided growth scores must be excluded from the transition score/rating calculations. • State-provided growth scores and the original scores and ratings must still be provided for advisory purposes.

  4. 2015-16 in “Transition” Period • Continue to calculate scores and ratings pursuant to the approved APPR plan. • Also calculate transition scores and ratings that exclude the results of 3-8 ELA/math State assessments and any State-provided growth scores. • Transition scores are based upon the remaining subcomponents of the APPR that are not based on the grade 3-8 ELA or math State assessments or a State-provided growth score on Regents exams.

  5. Rest of the “Transition” Period • Transition scores and ratings will be determined based upon the remaining subcomponents of the APPR that are not based on the grade 3-8 ELA or math or a State-provided growth scores. • Where no scores or ratings in the subcomponents of the Student Performance Category can be generated, an alternate SLO must be developed using assessments approved by the Department that are not 3-8 ELA and math State assessments.

  6. “Transition” Period • Assessment options include: • 4 and 8 State Science assessments • Regents examinations • State-approved third-party assessments • State-approved district, regional, or BOCES-developed assessments • During the transition period, common branch teachers will not be required to have at least one math and one ELA SLO. • Alternate SLOs may utilize district-wide measures

  7. Waivers • Hardship Waivers will be automatically renewed for all districts that are currently implementing a §3012-c APPR plan pursuant to a Hardship Waiver that was approved by the November 15, 2015 deadline.

  8. §3012-d Plans • Districts must still have a §3012-d APPR plan approved by the Department by September 1, 2016 to maintain eligibility for State aid increase. • Districts should submit their §3012-d APPR plans by July 1, 2016 to ensure approval by September 1, 2016. • The APPR portal is being updated for the 2016-17 school year to accommodate entry of alternate SLOs during the transition period.

  9. §3012-d Plans • If your district/BOCES already has an approved §3012-d APPR plan you do not need to be revise it for the 2015-16 school year. • You will have to submit a supplemental form describing the alternate SLOs that will be used during the transition period so that you do not need to re-open the entire APPR plan.

  10. Employment Decisions • For all employment related decisions and TIP/PIP determinations, districts/BOCES must use the overall composite transition rating.

  11. Reporting Implications • Both the original and transition scores and ratings will be reported to SED. • The reporting template will be changed.

  12. Parent Requests for Scores • Both the original composite score and the overall transition composite score will be reported if requested • Include an explanation of the transition score/rating. • Public Data Access Site will report both original and transition ratings.

  20. NYSAA In Transition • During the 2015-16 school year, districts/BOCES have flexibility on whether to use the NYSAA for SLOs. • Districts who decide not to use the NYSAA must determine whether to use an SLO based on a State-approved assessment, or school- or BOCES-wide measures based on State/Regents assessments or other State-approved assessments (leaving the 20% out and scaling up is not available).

  21. Score Deadlines • Transition ratings and scores must be given to educators whose measures are based on the grades 3-8 ELA and math State assessments and/or State-provided growth scores by September 1st. • Original ratings and scores must be provided to such teachers and principals by September 1st, or as soon as practicable thereafter. • Educators whose measures are not based on the grades 3-8 ELA and math State assessments or State-provided growth scores must continue to receive their final APPR ratings by September 1st . • You still have to provide all of the scores you know by the end of the school year.

  22. School and District-Wide Scores • For educators who do not receive their own State-provided growth scores and whose courses do not end in State or Regents assessments, SLOs may use district- or BOCES-wide results. • Both school/program-wide and district/BOCES-wide measures may be based on State-created or administered assessments, or other State-approved assessments.

  23. Principals (reminder, not new) • Principals who receive State-provided growth scores must also have back-up SLOs (for after the transition). • These SLOs are different than the alternate SLOs that must be developed for certain educators during the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years. • HS principals must have back-up SLOs in all school years because Regents exams are included in the Transition Period..

  24. Improvement Plans • Teacher and Principal Improvement Plans must be developed by a district’s Superintendent or designee, and are subject to collective bargaining to the extent required by Article 14 of the Civil Service Law.

  25. Corrective Action Plans • Corrective action plans may mandate changes to a collective bargaining agreement; such changes are subject to collective bargaining under Article 14 of the Civil Service Law.
