PROCESS: HOW DID WE GET HERE?
The Obama Administration, with bipartisan support
from Congress, included incentives to change
teacher evaluation systems in signature education
programs like Race to the Top and ESEA Waivers.
CEC convened an expert advisory workgroup to
inform its discussion of new teacher evaluation
systems. CEC developed preliminary
recommendations for its ESEA Reauthorization
Recommendations.
CEC worked for over a year with members and
experts in the field to draft a Position Statement.

• All educators must be included in one evaluation system.
• Evaluation systems must identify appropriate professional development opportunities for teachers based on the results of their evaluations.
• Evaluations must support continuous improvement.
• Evaluation processes and all measures of teacher effectiveness must be open and transparent to the teacher being evaluated.
Include Fundamental System-Wide Components

TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEMS SHALL:

• Evaluations must clearly identify and be based on a special education teacher’s specific role and responsibilities during a given school year.
• Evaluations must take into account the population of children and youth and their range of exceptionalities that special education teachers instruct.
• Evaluations must be conducted by evaluators with expertise related to evidence-based service delivery models and individualized teaching practices and interventions in special education.
TEACHER EVALUATION SYSTEMS SHALL :
Identify the Complex Role of the Special Education Teacher

• Evaluations must be based on multiple reliable measures and indicators that support valid measurement of special education teacher effectiveness.
• Evaluations should never be based solely on student growth.
• Statistical models that estimate a teacher’s contribution to student growth, such as value-added models, should not be applied to any teacher until there is a general consensus among researchers that the model provides a valid estimate of a teacher’s contribution to student growth.
Measure the Use of Evidence-Based Practices
