FAQ: APPR for School Counselors
At the Capitol, grassroots lobbyists make the case
for teacher privacy
How to include student
attendance in your APPR
Many local presidents are asking whether student
attendance can be factored into the new teacher
evaluations. The answer is yes: Your local and
district can negotiate an attendance adjustment into
your APPR's local 20 percent. SED guidance indicates
that attendance adjustments are allowed, as long as
no students are excluded. We've posted advice for
local leaders with two options to adjust for
student attendance. Keep in mind that SED says
districts must have a process in place that
accurately collects student attendance data to use
in the weighting calculation. Districts must also
have a plan in place to improve student attendance.
NYSUT Research also has posted a fact sheet with the
state School Counselors Association to clarify
APPR requirements for school counselors. As
always, contact your labor relations specialist for
more information. |
