For teachers who are responsible for direct instruction, these measures must include student progress on common assessments and, where available, statewide student growth measures. 4 Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education

Summary of Proposed Changes Eliminate the separate student impact rating. Retain the 5-step cycle. Establish a "student learning indicator" under Standard II: Teaching All Students (for teachers) and under Standard I: Instructional Leadership (for administrators). Add a new definition of "expected impact" on student learning. 6 Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education
