Take Action
AB269 is about respecting educators. The bill would remove student data from teacher evaluations, ensuring teacher evaluations are fair measures of their performance. AB469 also eliminates the requirement to develop student learning goals.
NSEA believes teacher evaluations should be based on instructional practice, leadership, and professional responsibilities. Educators want to be held accountable with fair, timely, rigorous, and valid measures. Evaluation structures that depend on student data are not a fair or valid measure, because student growth is dependent on many factors not under a teacher’s control. During COVID-19, these outside factors played an outsized role in student growth and will be impacting student performance for many years to come.
