The New Jersey Department of Education invited school leaders and teacher to apply to serve on a new committee tasked with developing measures of effectiveness for teachers and school leaders. The Educational Effectiveness Evaluation Committee (EEEC) will be comprised of education practitioners, technical experts and representatives of stakeholder groups. The committee’s formation came out of New Jersey’s Race to the Top (RTTT) application.
NJPSA’s Executive Director, JoAnn Bartoletti will serve as NJPSA’s representative on the committee.
The EEEC will explore teacher and leader evaluation models and ultimately propose a statewide evaluation system that will inform decisions about various school policies, including professional development, compensation, bonuses and the awarding of tenure.
The EEEC’s first task is to present draft recommendations to the Commissioner of Education by January 2011 regarding the best way to measure the effectiveness of teachers and school leaders, based on defined parameters. The effectiveness recommendations will include:
- which measures of student achievement -- representing at least 50% of the teacher/school leader evaluation-- should be used for evaluating educator performance, and how each measure should be weighted
- which practices of effective teachers and school leaders should comprise the remaining basis for such evaluations, and how these measures of effective practices should be weighted
The New Jersey Department of Education has developed an application process for participation of public school and district-level education professionals to ensure that committee members will bring a broad base of knowledge and a wide variety of perspectives to the process. Invited to apply are: superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, supervisors, teachers, counselors and special education professionals.
To be considered, individuals must complete an online application by August 13, 2010. Applicants will be notified by email before the end of September if they are selected to participate.
