<a id="pl.46.9"></a><var>46.9</var>to provide information about teacher effectiveness for teachers under section 122A.06, <br/>
<a id="pl.46.10"></a><var>46.10</var>subdivision 2, districts, and charter schools to use in developing and improving teacher <br/>
<a id="pl.46.11"></a><var>46.11</var>performance and student learning. The two-part structure contains: <br/>
<a id="pl.46.12"></a><var>46.12</var>(1) a teacher appraisal framework that identifies performance measures for <br/>
<a id="pl.46.13"></a><var>46.13</var>determining teacher effectiveness; and<br/>
<a id="pl.46.14"></a><var>46.14</var>(2) a mechanism for translating the performance data into a five-part teacher <br/>
<a id="pl.46.15"></a><var>46.15</var>effectiveness rating scale. <br/>
<a id="pl.46.16"></a><var>46.16</var>    Subd. 2. <b>Teacher appraisal framework.</b> (a) Each school district and charter <br/>
<a id="pl.46.17"></a><var>46.17</var>school must create and implement a teacher appraisal framework. The framework must <br/>
<a id="pl.46.18"></a><var>46.18</var>translate performance measures and scores under this subdivision into five performance <br/>
<a id="pl.46.19"></a><var>46.19</var>effectiveness rating scores where "5" is the highest rating and "1" is the lowest rating. The <br/>
<a id="pl.46.20"></a><var>46.20</var>framework must be designed to give an effectiveness rating score that has 50 percent <br/>
<a id="pl.46.21"></a><var>46.21</var>based on assessment results under paragraph (b), (c), or (d), and 50 percent based on <br/>
<a id="pl.46.22"></a><var>46.22</var>district criteria under paragraph (e). The department, in collaboration with the Board of <br/>
<a id="pl.46.23"></a><var>46.23</var>Teaching, must make available to districts and charter schools appraisal frameworks and <br/>
<a id="pl.46.24"></a><var>46.24</var>other materials from evidence-based sources to assist districts and charter schools in <br/>
<a id="pl.46.25"></a><var>46.25</var>implementing an appraisal framework, consistent with this section. <br/>
<a id="pl.46.26"></a><var>46.26</var>(b) If statewide assessment results are available under section 120B.35, these results <br/>

<a id="pl.46.30"></a><var>46.30</var>(d) If no districtwide assessment results are available, 50 percent of a teacher's total <br/>
<a id="pl.46.31"></a><var>46.31</var>appraisal must consist of teacher-developed and administrator-approved assessments of <br/>
<a id="pl.46.32"></a><var>46.32</var>state and local standards. A school administrator shall meet with teachers at least annually <br/>

<a id="pl.47.3"></a><var>47.3</var>total appraisal under this subdivision. The appraisal must include data from parent <br/>
<a id="pl.47.4"></a><var>47.4</var>surveys and at least one annual evaluation performed by a trained school administrator <br/>
<a id="pl.47.5"></a><var>47.5</var>or an administrator's trained designee. Other performance measures may include student <br/>
<a id="pl.47.6"></a><var>47.6</var>surveys, peer observations and review, teacher performance portfolios, video classroom <br/>
<a id="pl.47.7"></a><var>47.7</var>observations with teacher reflection after viewing videos, measures approved as part <br/>
