April 10, 2013 – 8:30 – 4:00 – Mat-Su School District Board Room
Over the past three years, more than 20 states passed legislation designed to address educator effectiveness by mandating annual evaluations based in part on student learning and linking evaluation results to key personnel decisions. Catalyzed by a combination of factors – federal policy incentives embodied in Race to the Top and Investing in Innovation funding, newly elected governors, and growing legislative majorities in many states has sparked a wave of legislation addressing teacher effectiveness. Much of this legislation impacts districts around key personnel decisions including: tenure; reductions in force; dismissal of underperforming teachers; and teacher retention.
