As part of the LAUSD-UTLA 2012 Evaluation Procedures Supplement to Article X, educators are evaluated on student growth and progress toward District standards and state standards for pupil achievement. Teachers evaluated using EDST must develop at least one Data-Based Objective on their Initial Planning Sheet and progress is to be reviewed and considered in the completion of the Final Evaluation Report.
Given the recent changes in California’s testing program and transition to Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), CST data are no longer available. Beginning in 2016-2017, teachers with students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 shall include data from the Smarter Balanced Assessments in the Initial Planning Sheet to establish performance objectives and strategies and shall be treated as part of the evaluation process for all employees for whom such data is available.
