• LEA selected measures required for all professional classroom teachers (no n count)

• IEP goals progress measure is required for all professional classroom teachers if n count is met

• LEA selected measure = student performance measure. Wording can be confusing.

Email from PDE to Superintendents on November 3rd:

I’m pleased to inform you that building-level scores are posted on the PDE website:

• 2021-22 Act 13 Building Level Score (pa.gov)

You can find a detailed explanation of the current calculation method in the Act 13 toolkit:

• Act 13: Evaluation of Educator Effectiveness Toolkit - SAS (pdesas.org)

We’ve posted the overall building scores so that they can be used in evaluation templates as soon as needed. We’ll update the site to include the component values that contribute to the overall scores when the Future Ready PA Index goes live to the public. Please feel free to contact me directly with questions.
