State approves Cazenovia APPR plan
The Cazenovia Central School District’s Annual Professional Performance Review plan has received approval from the New York State Education Department. The approval satisfies a requirement of the federal Race to the Top (RTTT) education initiative and makes Cazenovia eligible to receive federal Race to the Top and state education aid.
Cazenovia submitted its Annual Professional Performance Review Plan on Nov. 30, 2012, and the state gave it final approval Jan. 16, 2013.
The approval is the result of months of collaboration between district officials, the Cazenovia United Educators and the Cazenovia Administrators and Supervisors Association to craft the district’s APPR.
Student performance on local and state exams will factor into individual teachers’ evaluations. Other factors will include growth in students’ work and assessment of classroom skills through observations by a trained evaluator. Administrator evaluations will consider factors like assessments growth toward determined goals, a supervisor’s (or other trained evaluator’s) assessment of leadership and management, and other additional benchmarks.
Depending on their scores, teachers and administrators will be placed into one of four categories: highly effective, effective, developing or ineffective.
