The overall purpose of Nevada’s Educator Performance Framework is to identify effective instruction and leadership practices and to establish criteria to determine:
Whether educators are helping students meet achievement targets and performance expectations (supports goals 1 & 4),
Whether educators are effectively engaging families (supports goals 1 & 2),
Whether educators are collaborating effectively (supports goals 1, 2, & 3),
The professional development needs of educators (supports goals 1, 2, 3 & 4),
Information on which to base human capital decisions including rewards and consequences (supports goal 3), and
Whether educators are using data to inform decision making (supports goals 1, 2 & 4).
The NEPF includes 10 role-specific frameworks for 10 different educator groups: Educational Audiologists, Principal Supervisors, School Administrators, School Counselors, School Nurses, School Psychologists, School Social Workers, Speech-Language Pathologists, Teachers, and Teacher-Librarians.
