MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION

Update on Teacher and Principal Evaluations [P-12/HE (D) 1] – the Committees were provided with an overview of existing Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) requirements for student performance measures and preliminary next steps for engaging stakeholders in the development of a regulatory proposal to implement the statutory changes to the APPR framework.  Discussion focused on the different types of Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) and their requirements.  The Department will begin working with the field to develop a regulatory proposal to implement the changes in a manner that best supports teaching and learning. Upon the Regents approval of regulatory amendments, the Department will develop tools and resources to support the field in implementing the system consistent with best practices.
