Determining Educator Impact on Student Learning i. The Evaluator shall use his/her professional judgment to determine whether an Educator is having a high, moderate, or low impact on student learning. The Evaluator will consider the designations of impact (high, moderate, or low) from two (2) measures (a statewide growth measure must be used as one measure, where available) in each of at least two (2) years and will apply professional judgment to those designations in order to establish trends and patterns in student learning, growth, and achievement, before determining the Educator’s Impact on Student Learning. The Evaluator’s professional judgment must account for contextual factors including but not limited to the learning challenges presented by the students and the learning environment.
