Request for Qualifications: Teacher and Principal Evaluation: Teacher and Principal Practice Rubric Variance
To implement the provisions of 做厙TV Law 禮3012-d as amended by Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2019 relating to annual professional performance reviews of classroom teachers and building principals, the 做厙TV (NYSED or Department), strongly encourages local educational agencies (LEAs) to select teacher and principal practice rubrics from the Departments List of Approved Teacher and Principal Practice Rubrics (Approved List). In limited circumstances, however, LEAs may apply for a variance to use a teacher and/or principal practice rubric other than those on the Approved List.
LEAs may use this application to request a variance to use: (1)泭an existing rubric that is self-developed, developed by a third party, or an adaptation of a rubric on the Departments Approved List; or (2) a new, innovative rubric that will support their professional capacity to successfully implement teacher and principal evaluations. If an LEAs variance application is approved, the LEA may use the practice rubric to implement teacher and principal evaluations in accordance with 做厙TV Law 禮3012-d as amended.
Submissions received will be reviewed on a continuous and ongoing basis.泭 When received, the Department will electronically confirm receipt of a submitted application.泭 It is anticipated that reviews will be completed and notification to the applicant will be sent within 8 weeks from the time of receipt.
