Measure 1: Completer Impact and Effectiveness (Initial R4.1)

a. Impact on P-12 learning and development

- EVAAS Data

SAS® EVAAS™ (Education Value-Added Assessment System) uses test scores from a variety of assessments and follows individual students over time to provide reflective value-added reports to assess the effectiveness of districts, schools and teachers. The levels are reported as “Does Not Meet,” “Meets,” and “Exceeds.”

b. Indicators of teaching effectiveness

- NC Educator Evaluation System

This section includes a summary of data collected through the North Carolina Educator Evaluator System (NCEES) for beginning teachers prepared by East Carolina University. The evaluation standards identify the knowledge, skills, and dispositions expected of teachers. School administrators rate the level at which teachers meet standards 1-5 as they move from ratings of “developing” to “distinguished.”
