Teacher Evaluation System
Education Law §3012-c requires a new performance evaluation system for teachers and principals. New York State will implement a statewide comprehensive evaluation system for school districts and boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES). The evaluation system is designed to measure teacher and principal effectiveness based on performance, including measures of student achievement and evidence of educator effectiveness in meeting New York State teacher or school leader standards.
NYSED Resources
The APPR Guidance document is regularly updated by NYSED. To view the most recent version, updated 7/2/2013, please use this link.
The list of approved rubrics is also updated regularly. Please use this link to see the list of approved rubrics and additional information.
NEW!! Task by Task Guidance is now provided for districts to guide them in the submission of APPR plans for approval by NYSED. Task-by-Task Guidance is divided into twelve separate documents that mirror the twelve Review Room Tasks. Each section begins with an in-depth table of contents, which categorizes questions by topic, and gives a brief description of each question within that section. In addition, these descriptions are linked to the specific questions for accessibility and ease.
The goal of these documents is to make relevant guidance materials more accessible while districts and BOCES review and submit their APPR plans. It will also be a helpful supplement when reviewing the twelve training modules and two sample plans previously posted here.

Lead Evaluator Training & Certification
All evaluators must be appropriately trained, but only lead evaluators need to be certified to conduct evaluations. Districts and BOCES will be required to provide appropriate training and certify their lead evaluators. Districts may choose to take advantage of E2CCB trainings or they may develop or contract for their own training and evaluator certification programs.
Training must address the areas identified in the regulations. The regulation authorizes a certified school administrator to conduct observations or school visits as part of the APPR prior to completing of evaluator training, so long as he or she becomes properly certified to conduct evaluations prior to the completion of the evaluation. Lead evaluators must be periodically re-certified to ensure reliability.
A listing of previous lead evaluator certification trainings is included below. For an updated listing of offerings, please visit the E2CCB Calendar page. For customized on-site work with lead evaluator certification, contact Theresay Gray, Coordinator.
