Posted

The New York State Education Department has made public its 2012-2013 Annual Professional Performance Reviews. Results for all districts can be viewed on nysed.gov.

According to the NYSED, each classroom teacher and building principal must receive an overall rating of “highly effective,” “effective,” “developing,” or “ineffective.” The rating is based on a single effectiveness score (from 0-100 points) that is calculated based on the scores received by the teacher or principal in each of the three subcomponents: state growth, local student achievement, and “other measures of educator effectiveness.”

In East Meadow, 548 teachers were evaluated, with 260 scoring as “highly effective” (47.4 percent), another 260 scoring as “effective,” 24 as “developing” (4.3 percent) and four as “ineffective” (.7 percent).

On average, 60.8 percent of Nassau County educators scored as “highly effective,” 37.2 percent as “effective,” 1.6 percent as “developing,” and .4 percent as “ineffective.”
