(a) Evaluation with building-level data.--Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, the evaluation of the effectiveness of a professional employee serving as a classroom teacher in a building where annual building-level data is made available by the department shall be weighted and calculated accordingly:
(II) Value-added assessment system data made available by the department under section 2211 if the building administers assessments in grades for which annual value-added system data is made available by the department.
(IV) Attendance rate as reported to the department under section 2512.2
(b) Value-added assessment system data made available by the department under section 221 if the building administers assessments in grades for which annual value-added system data is made available by the department as applicable and attributable to the classroom teacher. The data shall be calculated using three consecutive years of data.
(b) Evaluation without building-level data.--Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, the evaluation of the effectiveness of a professional employee who is a classroom teacher primarily assigned in a building or buildings within a school entity by which the classroom teacher is not employed or where building-level data is not made available by the department shall be weighted and calculated as follows:
(c) Temporary professional employee.--Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, the evaluation of the effectiveness of a temporary professional employee serving as a classroom teacher shall be based on comprehensive classroom observation and practice models that are related to student achievement, which shall comprise 100% of the overall rating in each of the following areas:
(1) No later than March 31, 2021, the department shall develop, issue and submit to the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a rating tool for professional employees and temporary professional employees serving as classroom teachers that is consistent with subsections (a), (b) and (c) and includes the multiple measures of student performance as specified under subsections (a), (b) and (c).
(e) Classroom walk-throughs.--The classroom observation and practice models component under subsections (a)(1), (b)(1) and (c) may include the use of multiple classroom walk-throughs in an academic year to gather evidence and artifacts to inform the professional employee's or temporary professional employee's ratings under subsections (a)(1)(ii) and (iii), (b)(1)(ii) and (iii) and (c)(2) and (3). Classroom walk-throughs used to inform the ratings for a professional employee or temporary professional employee under this subarticle shall ensure that specific observations are based only on factors that are present or witnessed by the evaluator during the walk-through. Classroom walk-throughs shall be used to gather evidence in addition to, not in place of, data gathered during one or more comprehensive classroom observations except when defined by a plan of differentiated supervision.
