AN ACT concerning education.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
24A-20 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/24A-20) |
Sec. 24A-20. State Board of Education data collection and |
evaluation assessment and support systems. |
(a) On or before the date established in subsection (b) of |
this Section, the State Board of Education shall, through a |
process involving collaboration with the Performance |
Evaluation Advisory Council, develop or contract for the |
development of and implement all of the following data |
collection and evaluation assessment and support systems: |
(1) A system to annually collect and publish data by |
district and school on teacher and administrator |
performance evaluation outcomes. The system must ensure |
that no teacher or administrator can be personally |
identified by publicly reported data. |
(2) Both a teacher and principal model evaluation |
template. The model templates must incorporate the |
requirements of this Article and any other requirements |
established by the State Board by administrative rule, but |
|
allow customization by districts in a manner that does not |
conflict with such requirements. |
(3) An evaluator pre-qualification program based on |
the model teacher evaluation template. |
(4) An evaluator training program based on the model |
teacher evaluation template. The training program shall |
provide multiple training options that account for the |
prior training and experience of the evaluator. |
(5) A superintendent training program based on the |
model principal evaluation template. |
(6) One or more instruments to provide feedback to |
principals on the instructional environment within a |
school. |
(7) A State Board-provided or approved technical |
assistance system that supports districts with the |
development and implementation of teacher and principal |
evaluation systems. |
(8) Web-based systems and tools supporting |
implementation of the model templates and the evaluator |
pre-qualification and training programs. |
(9) A process for measuring and reporting correlations |
between local principal and teacher evaluations and (A) |
student growth in tested grades and subjects and (B) |
retention rates of teachers. |
(10) A process for assessing whether school district |
evaluation systems developed pursuant to this Act and that |
|
consider student growth as a significant factor in the |
rating of a teacher's and principal's performance are |
valid and reliable, contribute to the development of |
staff, and improve student achievement outcomes. By no |
later than September 1, 2014, a research-based study shall |
be issued assessing such systems for validity and |
reliability, contribution to the development of staff, and |
improvement of student performance and recommending, based |
on the results of this study, changes, if any, that need to |
be incorporated into teacher and principal evaluation |
systems that consider student growth as a significant |
factor in the rating performance for remaining school |
districts to be required to implement such systems. |
(b) If the State of Illinois receives a Race to the Top |
Grant, the data collection and support systems described in |
subsection (a) must be developed on or before September 30, |
2011. If the State of Illinois does not receive a Race to the |
Top Grant, the data collection and support systems described |
in subsection (a) must be developed on or before September 30, |
2012; provided, however, that the data collection and support |
systems set forth in items (3) and (4) of subsection (a) of |
this Section must be developed by September 30, 2011 |
regardless of whether the State of Illinois receives a Race to |
the Top Grant. By no later than September 1, 2011, if the State |
of Illinois receives a Race to the Top Grant, or September 1, |
2012, if the State of Illinois does not receive a Race to the |
|
Top Grant, the State Board of Education must execute or |
contract for the execution of the assessment referenced in |
item (10) of subsection (a) of this Section to determine |
whether the school district evaluation systems developed |
pursuant to this Act have been valid and reliable, contributed |
to the development of staff, and improved student performance. |
(c) Districts shall submit data and information to the |
State Board on teacher and principal performance evaluations |
and evaluation plans in accordance with procedures and |
requirements for submissions established by the State Board. |
Such data shall include, without limitation, (i) data on the |
performance rating given to all teachers in contractual |
continued service, (ii) data on district recommendations to |
renew or not renew teachers not in contractual continued |
service, and (iii) data on the performance rating given to all |
principals. |
(d) If the State Board of Education does not timely |
fulfill any of the requirements set forth in Sections 24A-7 |
and 24A-20, and adequate and sustainable federal, State, or |
other funds are not provided to the State Board of Education |
and school districts to meet their responsibilities under this |
Article, the applicable implementation date shall be postponed |
by the number of calendar days equal to those needed by the |
State Board of Education to fulfill such requirements and for |
the adequate and sustainable funds to be provided to the State |
Board of Education and school districts. The determination as |
|
to whether the State Board of Education has fulfilled any or |
all requirements set forth in Sections 24A-7 and 24A-20 and |
whether adequate and sustainable funds have been provided to |
the State Board of Education and school districts shall be |
made by the State Board of Education in consultation with the |
P-20 Council.
|
(e) The State Board of Education shall report teacher |
evaluation data from each school in the State. The State |
Board's report shall include: |
(1) data from the most recent performance evaluation |
ratings issued prior to the effective date of this |
amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly for all |
nontenured teachers and teachers in contractual continued |
service broken down by the race and ethnicity of teachers; |
and |
(2) data from the most recent performance evaluation |
ratings issued prior to the effective date of this |
amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly for all |
nontenured teachers and teachers in contractual continued |
service broken down by the race, ethnicity, and |
eligibility status for free or reduced-price lunch of |
students in the school where the teachers work. |
The report shall contain data in an aggregate format. The |
report with the aggregate data is not confidential pursuant to |
Section 24A-7.1 of this Code unless an individual teacher is |
personally identifiable in the report. With respect to the |
