The Annual Professional Performance Review Plan for the Le Roy Central School District has been developed in conjunction with a directive from the New York State Education Department to implement New York’s teacher evaluation law, section 3012-d of the Education Law as added by Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2015 on April 13, 2015. The new evaluation system is grounded in the New York State Teaching Standards (Appendix A).

 The primary objective of the teacher evaluation system is to foster a culture of continuous professional growth. The statewide student growth measures will identify those educators whose students’ progress exceeds that of their peers, as well as those whose students are falling behind. Measures of student achievement selected by Le Roy Central School District will reflect the priorities, needs and targets of the Le Roy CSD. Teacher observations and other measures will provide educators with detailed, structured feedback on their professional practice.

 This plan was prepared in consultation with district office, building administrators, and teachers under the direction of the Superintendent of Schools. Input from each constituent group will continue to be sought on an annual basis. The plan will be revised to reflect the changing needs of the district, staff and students and where necessary to correspond with annual district goals.
