Assessment of Student Growth. In determining student growth measures, the Board adopts the Ohio Department of Education's Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which calculates student growth by assessing achievement for an individual student occurring between two (2) points in time. It is important to note that a student who has been absent for 25 percent (25%) or more of classroom instruction time (excused or unexcused) will not be included in the determination of student academic growth.
Assessment of Student Growth. In determining student growth measures, the Board adopts the Ohio Department of Education’s Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which calculates student growth by assessing achievement for an individual student occurring between two points in time. It is important to note that a student who has forty-five (45) or more absences for the school year will not be included in the determination of student academic growth. In general, the Board will utilize the following categories to determine this aspect of a teacher’s evaluation, depending upon the instructor involved: A1: Teachers instructing in value-added subjects exclusively1; A2: Teachers instructing in value-added courses, but not exclusively2; or B: Teachers instructing in areas with Ohio Department of Education approved vendor assessments with teacher-level data available; or
Assessment of Student Growth. 1. Student academic growth will be measured through multiple measures that shall include value-added scores on evaluations for “teachers” where value-added scores are available. Other student growth measures shall be selected from the Ohio Department of Education’s assessment list for “teachers” of subjects where value-added scores are not available and/or local measures of student growth. Data from Board-determined multiple measures will be converted to a score of: (1) Above, (2) Expected or (3) Below student growth levels.
2. In calculating student academic growth for an evaluation, a student shall not be included if the student has sixty or more unexcused absences for the school year from the classroom.
3. The first year of collected data for the evaluation procedure shall be derived from value-added and other student growth measure scores from assessments taken in the school year following the effective date of this agreement. The first evaluation cycle shall be completed by first day of May of the second school year following the effective date of this agreement.
4. Professional Growth and Improvement Plans
Assessment of Student Growth. 1. Student growth measures calculate student growth by assessing achievement for an individual student occurring between two (2) points in time. A student who has forty-five (45) or more absences for the school year will not be included in the determination of student academic growth or as required by law.
2. The following categories will be used to determine this aspect of a teacher’s evaluation, depending upon the instructor involved:
Assessment of Student Growth. A. In determining student growth measures, the Board shall comply with law and regulations adopted by the Ohio Department of Education.
B. Where value-added methodologies exist for teachers, the Board will utilize them in the evaluation process, as required by law. Teachers instructing in value-added courses, but not exclusively, will utilize teacher value-added and locally determined measures proportionate to the teacher’s schedule.
C. When an approved Ohio Department of Education vendor assessment is utilized in the measurement of student growth, it will be included in the evaluation process consistent with law.
D. When neither teacher-level value-added data nor Ohio Department of Education-approved assessments are available, the Board shall use locally-determined student growth measures for teachers.
E. The Board may implement a shared attribution measure within each individual school according to procedures established by the Evaluation Committee.
F. Data from approved measures of student growth will be scored in accordance with the Ohio Department of Education/OTES guidance.

b. In general, the Board will utilize the following categories to determine this aspect of a teacher’s evaluation, depending upon the instructor involved: A1: Teachers instructing in value-added subjects exclusively (50% VA). A2: Teachers instructing in value-added courses, but not exclusively (20%VA; 30% LEA).
Assessment of Student Growth. In determining student growth measures, the District has adopted the Ohio Department of Education’s Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which calculates student growth by assessing achievement for an individual student occurring between two (2) points in time when appropriate and required under OTES. It is important to note that a student who has forty-five (45) or more excused or unexcused absences during the full academic year will not be included in the determination of student academic growth. In general, the evaluator will utilize the following categories to determine this aspect of a teacher’s evaluation, depending upon the instructor involved:
Assessment of Student Growth. Student academic growth will be measured through multiple measures that shall include value-added scores on evaluations for teachers where value-added scores are available. Other student growth measures shall be selected from the Ohio Department of Education’s assessment list for teachers of subjects where value- added scores are not available and/or local measures of student growth. Data from Board-determined multiple measures will be converted as follows: • Most effective (5) 600 points • Above average (4) 400 points • Average (3) 300 points • Approaching Average (2) 200 points • Least Effective (1) 0 points

In determining student growth measures, the Board adopts the Ohio Department of Education’s Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES), which calculates student growth by assessing achievement for an individual student occurring between two points in time based upon the teacher’s instructional assignment. The monitoring of student growth measures will be an ongoing subject for the Evaluation Policy Consultation Committee. It is important to note that a student who has sixty (60) or more unexcused absences for the school year will not be included in the determination of student academic growth. Data from these approved measures of student growth will be scored on five (5) levels in accordance with the Ohio Department of Education/OTES guidance and converted to a score in one of three (3) levels of student growth: 1.
