Abstract

This symposium will examine a variety of measures that the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) has developed and implemented for students, teachers, and schools. Individual presentations will describe several NYCDOE metrics and some of the measures of rigor and fairness used to assess them covering 4 areas: 1) assessment development, 2) teacher evaluation, and 3) qualitative and 4) quantitative school accountability. The session will provide a survey of the evolution and maintenance of some of the evaluation tools and processes used in the largest public school district in the United States, with the goal of providing actionable insights and lessons learned for other school districts.
