Status

What is the difference between Ratings and Status?

04/21/23 • page 26

Status and Standard 6

• An educator receives an effectiveness status only once they have 3 years of data on Standard 6 or 8

• A 3-year rolling average of growth data from standard 6 or 8 is used as part of determining overall status
