Section 47.01. Purpose.

 

(1)  The state educator effectiveness system evaluates educators based on two components: educator practice and student outcomes. The department recognizes that any one model for evaluating educator practice might not suit every school district or charter school established under s. 118.40 (2r) , Stats. Therefore, the department has developed an application process for school districts, consortia of school districts, and charter schools established under s. 118.40 (2r) , Stats., that wish to use alternative models to measure teacher and principal practice.

(2)  Under s. 115.415 (3) , Stats., the department must evaluate for approval any alternative model from a school district, consortium of school districts, or charter school established under s. 118.40 (2r) , Stats. This chapter establishes the process by which an alternative model may be approved based on its alignment with the state standards.
