SUMMARY
This amendment is the majority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs. The amendment strikes a provision in the bill that removes the requirement in current law requiring that student learning and growth be included as part of the multiple measures of educator effectiveness. The amendment replaces that provision to clarify that the use of student learning and growth data to inform instruction is included as part of the multiple measures of educator effectiveness. The amendment also requires the Department of Education to submit a provisionally adopted rule to the Legislature by January 12, 2018.
