Multiple Measures in PPT

Q: In the Module 1 PowerPoint, slide 30, why do "multiple measures of student learning" appear in the top left, as evidence to be used when rating performance, instead of only appearing at the bottom of the slide, as evidence of impact?

A: We are going to be sending an email to a variety of audiences in the next day or two that will clarify the role of “multiple measures of student learning” in the evaluation process. Simply put, since all educators are required to set a student learning goal (in addition to a professional practice goal) as part of their Summative Rating, they will automatically be using various measures of student learning to gauge progress toward that student learning goal. Hence the placement of “multiple measures” in the top left of Slide 30.  The Impact Rating is another place where multiple measures will inform the evaluation, and regulations specify that these must include district-determined measures and MCAS where applicable.
