Overall Student Performance Category Rating:

The Required Growth Subcomponent score (0-20) will be placed on the chart below to determine Student Performance Category Rating.

Overall Student Performance Category Score and Rating
Minimum / Maximum
Highly Effective / 18 / 20
Effective / 15 / 17
Developing / 13 / 14
Ineffective / 0 / 12
Overall Observation Category Score and Rating
Minimum / Maximum
Highly Effective / 3.50 / 4.0
Effective / 2.50 / 3.49
Developing / 1.50 / 2.49
Ineffective / 0 / 1.49

FINAL RATING:

Plot your Overall Student Performance Category Rating with your Observation Rating to determine your overall Rating for APPR

Observation
Student Performance Category / Highly Effective / Effective / Developing / Ineffective
Highly Effective / H / H / E / D
Effective / H / E / E / D
Developing / E / E / D / I
Ineffective / D* / D* / I / I

*If a teacher is rated Ineffective on the Student Performance category, and a State-designed supplemental assessment was included as an optional subcomponent of the Student Performance Category, the teacher can be rated no higher than Ineffective over all.(This bullet does not apply for Lake Shore CSD because we are not using a “State-designed supplemental assessment.”)
