Thank you to those of you who attended the EdCon 2012 conference. As I mentioned at my Michigan Council of Educator Effectiveness Update, I would like to hear your feedback on student growth measures. If you have a few minutes, please feel free to leave a few comments below about the following questions:

  1. Should the State evaluation data (i.e. MEAP, MME, Smarter Balance, etc.) be the only source of student growth data? Why or why not?

  2. Should local student growth models be allowed? Why or why not? How could we ensure that the local models are rigorous and legitimate?

  3. If you agree that multiple measures should be allowed, what percentage would you give each of the multiple measures?

    - For example if educators are permitted to use MME data, a local tool (such as an end of course assessment), and a personally developed measure how should those three measures be weighted?

  4. How should we measure teachers in non-tested subjects such as band or auto mechanics?

Don’t forget that the MCEE now has an updated website: www.mcede.org. Feel free to leave your thoughts and concerns for the Council on the website blog.
