ENL and Data
•
ENL teachers and Special Education teachers should refer to their specific
Student Achievement Measures guidance to determine student eligibility.
•
General Education teachers may request the exclusion data for ELL’s when
the following conditions exist:
1. The student is an ENL Level 1 or 2 and;
2. The student was enrolled in a US school after August 15 of the school year
preceding the current school year’s fall assessment – (Example: A Level 1 or 2
student enrolled in a US school on August 30 2013, may be eligible for removal
from teacher evaluation data for a 2014 fall standardized test) or;
3. The student was enrolled in a US school after January 1 of the school year
preceding the current school year’s spring assessment - (Example: A Level 1 or 2
student enrolled in a US school on January 6, 2014 may be eligible for removal
from teacher evaluation data for the 2015 spring standardized test).
4. Teachers in Special Courses such as Read 180 should consult their
evaluator for guidance.
19

ENL and Data
• For all assessments used in determining teachers’
Primary or Secondary Measure, all English
Language Learners (ELL) in Levels 1 through 4
should be given proper accommodations
according to the students’ Individual Learning
Plan (ILP).
• Approval from the primary evaluator is required
prior to removal of any ELL student’s data.
21
Special Needs and Data
It is assumed that students with disabilities are included and will count in
the data. Appropriate testing accommodations are identified by a case
conference committee and put in place to enable the students to access
and participate in state and local assessments as appropriate.
•
General Education teachers should assume all student data for
students with an IEP who participate in ISTEP will be included in ALL
student achievement and growth data used for teacher evaluation.
Data for these students will be included in all Primary and Secondary
Student Achievement Measures
•
Prior to removal of any student data for evaluation purposes, the
teacher must consult the primary evaluator.
