3. The majority of our students have
great teachers and administrators
who want to:
• Maximize student learning for every child
• Be the very best teachers/administrators
that they can be
7. Which teacher a student
gets within a school
matters more than which
school the student happens
to attend.
Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004, (p. 247)

8. If a student had a good teacher
as opposed to an average teacher
for 4 to 5 years in a row, the
increased learning would be
sufficient to close entirely the
average gap between a typical
low income student and one who
is not on free and reduced lunch.
Hanushek, 2008.

9. Dallas Research: Cumulative
Effect
Students started at the same level of
math achievement. Three years later,
those students placed with highly
effective teachers vs. those placed
with ineffective teachers experienced
a 50% greater achievement level.
(Similar results occurred in their study
on Reading Achievement.)
10. Eliminating the worst 6% to 10% of
teachers in terms of effectiveness
would bring student achievement up
by ½ standard deviation. (Note:
Ranking of countries was based on
average mathematics score on the
PISA tests in 2003 - U.S. students
perform significantly below the
OECD average. The variance
between the U.S. and the top
performing country is 2/3 standard
deviation.)
Hanushek, 2008
11. Spillover Effect
Highly effective teacher –
achievement goes up in that
teacher’s classroom – that would be
expected. Also, however, the
achievement of surrounding
teachers’ classes will go up when
they work with this highly effective
teacher. Student achievement in
these other teachers’ classes goes
up 10-20%. (PLC’s)
14. Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll - 2011
What Americans said about the public schools
QUALITY TEACHING
We’ll take larger classes with more effective teachers over smaller
classes with less effective teachers and access to higher-quality
instruction over the Internet over learning in a classroom with a less
effective teacher. The message: Quality/Effectiveness of a teacher
does count.
15. Research on effective vs. ineffective
teachers and leaders clearly indicated
that there is a great cost to student
learning as a result of having ineffective
teachers and leaders in our schools.
16. Reality
We all know that we have ineffective
teachers and administrators that do
exist and have existed in our schools
for many years
17. So …
If we know that a teacher or
administrator is ineffective, why
haven’t we done something about
it?

25. President Obama is offering states flexibility
from NCLB in exchange for comprehensive
plans to raise standards; to create
fair, flexible and focused accountability
systems; and to improve systems for
teacher and principal evaluation and
support. This flexibility will not give states a
pass on accountability. It will demand real
reform.

and Secondary Education Act of
1965 (as amended by the No Child

(PASSED ON 3/15/2012)
This bill requires DPI to develop an educator
effectiveness evaluation system and to develop, by
rule, an equivalency process aligned with the state
system (equivalency process) to assist school districts
in the evaluation of the performance of teachers and
principals in the district.
Each school district must begin evaluating teachers
and principals using either the state system or the
equivalency process in the 2014-15 school year.
34. SENATE BILL 461
Under the state system, 50 percent of the
total evaluation score assigned to a
teacher or principal must be based on
measures of student performance, and 50
percent of the total evaluation score must
be based upon the extent to which the
teacher's or principal's practice …..

Editor's Notes
New School and District Report Cards will be developed over the coming year, in consultation with Wisconsin’s TAC, school and district staff, and other stakeholders. Report cards based on the accountability index will be publicly reported beginning in summer 2013. DPI will set differentiated expectations (Annual Measurable Objectives) based on each school’s and district’s overall performance on the index. Schools further behind will have more aggressive AMO’s, requiring all schools to be at an acceptable level within four years, regardless of their starting point. Additional AMOs for test participation, dropout rates, and absenteeism will be the same across the state and represent the importance of achieving certain standards in these areas, which impact each of the index’s priority areas.
