State Board to establish statewide performance evaluation system and prescribe tools to be used by schools to measure performance; school district authorized to apply to use different performance evaluation system and tools; prohibition against evaluating certain administrators using statewide performance evaluation system
Status: in_force

1. The State Board shall, based upon the recommendations of the Teachers and Leaders Council of Nevada submitted pursuant to NRS 391.460 , adopt regulations establishing a statewide performance evaluation system which incorporates multiple measures of an employee's performance. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the State Board shall prescribe the tools to be used by a school district for obtaining such measures.

2. The statewide performance evaluation system must: (a) Require that an employee's overall performance is determined to be: (1) Highly effective; (2) Effective; (3) Developing; or (4) Ineffective. (b) Include the criteria for making each designation identified in paragraph (a), which must include, without limitation, consideration of whether the classes for which the employee is responsible exceed the applicable recommended ratios of pupils per licensed teacher prescribed by the State Board pursuant to NRS 388.890 and, if so, the degree to which the ratios affect: (1) The ability of the employee to carry out his or her professional responsibilities; and (2) The instructional practices of the employee. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3 of NRS 391.695 and subsections 2 and 3 of NRS 391.715 , require that pupil growth, as determined pursuant to NRS 391.480 , account for 15 percent of the evaluation of a teacher or administrator who provides direct instructional services to pupils at a school in a school district. (d) Include an evaluation of whether the teacher, or administrator who provides primarily administrative services at the school level or administrator at the district level who provides direct supervision of the principal of a school, and who does not provide primarily direct instructional services to pupils, regardless of whether the probationary administrator is licensed as a teacher or administrator, including, without limitation, a principal and vice principal or licensed educational employee, other than a teacher or administrator, employs practices and strategies to involve and engage the parents and families of pupils. (e) Include a process for peer observations of teachers by qualified educational personnel which is designed to provide assistance to teachers in meeting the standards of effective teaching, and includes, without limitation, conducting observations, participating in conferences before and after observations of the teacher and providing information and resources to the teacher about strategies for effective teaching. The regulations must include the criteria for school districts to determine which educational personnel are qualified to conduct peer observations pursuant to the process. (f) Require a person who evaluates a teacher who is responsible for a number of pupils that exceeds the applicable recommended ratio of pupils per licensed teacher prescribed by the State Board pursuant to NRS 388.890 , who is a postprobationary employee as defined in NRS 391.650 and whose performance on that evaluation is designated as effective or highly effective to, under the statewide performance evaluation system, award the teacher an additional weight for criteria relating to: (1) The manner in which the teacher structures a classroom environment; (2) The manner in which the teacher provides an opportunity for extended discourse; (3) The manner in which the teacher employs the cognitive abilities and skills of all pupils; (4) The manner in which the teacher engages with the families of pupils; and (5) The perception of pupils of the performance of the teacher, that is equivalent to the percentage by which the ratio of pupils for which the teacher is responsible exceeds the recommended ratio of pupils per licensed teacher. Any additional weight awarded to a teacher pursuant to this paragraph must not cause the score on a criterion to exceed the maximum score that would otherwise be possible on the criterion for a teacher rated as highly effective. (g) If an employee knowingly and willfully failed to comply with the provisions of NRS 388.1351 , indicate any disciplinary actions taken against the employee pursuant to NRS 388.1354 .

3. A school district may apply to the State Board to use a performance evaluation system and tools that are different than the evaluation system and tools prescribed pursuant to subsection 1. The application must be in the form prescribed by the State Board and must include, without limitation, a description of the evaluation system and tools proposed to be used by the school district. The State Board may approve the use of the proposed evaluation system and tools if it determines that the proposed evaluation system and tools apply standards and indicators that are equivalent to those prescribed by the State Board.

4. An administrator at the district level who provides direct supervision of the principal of a school and who also serves as the superintendent of schools of a school district must not be evaluated using the statewide performance evaluation system.
