Matrix Used to Determine
Summative Evaluation Rating
Rules
1. Must meet all three student growth measures to be
considered highly effective.
2. Must meet at least two student growth measures to be
considered effective.
3. Can only be considered developing if meeting only one
student growth measure
4. Can only be rated one performance level higher than the
lowest summary rating.
5. When all summary ratings are the same, that rating becomes
the performance level.
