MDE 2024-25 Educator Evaluation Guidance

Summary of Changes for 2024-25

MDE 2024-25 FAQ

Who can provide training?

• The training shall be provided by an individual who has expertise in the evaluation tool or tools, which may include either a consultant on that evaluation tool or framework or an individual who has been trained to train others in the use of the evaluation tool or tools. A school district, intermediate school district, public school academy, or consortium consisting of 2 or more of these, may provide the training in the use of the evaluation tool or tools if the trainer has expertise in the evaluation tool or tools.

Who determines expertise?

• The school district, intermediate school district, or public-school academy has the authority to determine who has expertise in the evaluation tool or tools. Accordingly, it is in the district’s best interest to ensure training is being implemented by an individual with a significant level of experience and knowledge in order to meet the legislative expectation for “expertise” in the evaluation tool or tools.

What is included in the training?

• The law sets requirements for frequency of training and the components that must be included within the training. The law does not set requirements for the delivery format, length of time, or entity that will provide the training. Therefore, districts may choose to work with their evaluation tool vendor, local districts, or ISD/RESA to coordinate training.

What are the components that must be included in the training?

• A clear and consistent set of evaluation criteria that all evaluators can use when assessing teacher performance.
• Clear expectations for what evaluators should look for when assessing teacher performance, including identifying key behaviors and practices that are associated with effective teaching.
• Training on the evaluation process itself, including how to conduct classroom observations, collect data, and analyze results.
• Calibration exercises that help evaluators practice using the evaluation criteria and establish consistency in the evaluator's evaluations.
• Ongoing support for evaluators, including feedback and coaching to help the evaluators improve their skills and ensure they are consistently applying the evaluation criteria.

Does training have to be reported to MDE?

• Law does not require reporting of training; however, districts are encouraged to maintain documentation of compliance with requirements in law.

If a district has already been participating in Rater Reliability training for evaluators, is it necessary for training to be completed by September 1, 2024?

• Until the effective date of July 1, 2024, districts had not previously been required by law to provide rater reliability training to administrators. However, some districts went above and beyond the previous requirements to provide rater reliability training to maintain and improve the quality of their evaluation systems. Any rater reliability trainings that included the components described in the new law would satisfy the training requirements set by the new law and districts would not need to provide an updated training prior to September 1, 2024, provided the prior training has occurred within the past 3 years and any new evaluators are provided the training. Districts would then be responsible for ensuring recurring training is documented for all evaluators every 3 years moving forward.
