The Division of Data, Assessment, and Research will collect teacher and principal data in October to support two required reports to the US Department of Education:
Teacher Shortage Areas (prospective, for the 2016-17 school year); and Teacher and Principal Evaluations (retrospective, for the 2015-16 school year).
These data collections are now available and will close Nov. 4, 2016.
Additional guidance regarding these collections will be provided to DC Staffing Data Collaborative participants, which will be discussed at the Oct. 27 meeting. If you are interested in participating in the DC Staffing Data Collaborative, please contact Laura Montas at [email protected].
In addition, OSSE is offering an optional educator-student linkage collection for the PARCC and MSAA 2015-2016 school year results. Through this collection, OSSE is offering a mechanism for LEAs to provide educators with direct access to appropriate student(s)’ PARCC/MSAA results in SLED and in a secure version of the results.osse.dc.gov site. If an LEA chooses to participate in this collection, the LEA will determine which educators will have access to each student’s results. OSSE will then link the PARCC/MSAA results between identified educators and current and/or former student(s) they worked/are working with in the 2015-16 or 2016-17 school year(s).
