HQSD Metrics

The emphasis of HQSD in OTES 2.0 is to prioritize and emphasize teachers’ Use of Data as outline in the HQSD Guidance Tool. The Evidence of Student Learning component involves combining multiple data measures into one performance level rating. The Calibrating HQSD - Multiple Measures Metrics template serves as an optional support tool if districts are interested in establishing common growth/achievement expectations to use as a reference document.

Please note: Decisions on the calibration/rating of High-Quality Student Data is LOCALLY DETERMINED. All ideas posted on this page are intended to initiate/support local conversations to determine will work best for your district.

Rubric Language: Evidence of Student Learning

Multiple Measures Matrix
