The following resources provide relevant information and support to districts and BOCES about Annual Professional Performance Reviews under Education Law §3012-c and Subpart 30-2 of the Rules of the Board of Regents.
Education Law §3012-c
On March 14, 2012, the Assembly and Senate passed the revised teacher and principal evaluation law proposed by the Governor (S.6732/A. 9554). On March 27, 2012, the Governor signed the revised teacher and principal evaluation law as Chapter 21 of the Laws of 2012. At its March meeting, the Board of Regents adopted regulations to implement Education Law §3012-c, as amended by Chapter 21 of the Laws of 2012 (S.6732/A.9554), effective April 4, 2012.

On February 11, 2014, the Board of Regents adopted emergency regulations to address concerns that have been raised by the field and by stakeholders to adjust and improve the implementation of the Common Core Standards and teacher/principal evaluation. The approved regulatory amendments to the APPR are intended to help districts and BOCES reduce local testing and ensure that the amount of testing should be the minimum necessary to inform effective decision-making.
Assessments in APPR §3012-c
Just as with any process, taking the time to reflect on decisions made, lessons learned, and goals yet to be obtained can lead to a leveraged moment to refine and enhance the work. The Department has developed this webinar to encourage collaborative conversations about assessments within APPR at the local level. There are many ways for districts and BOCES to reduce the number of assessments they are using in their APPR plans, subject to collective bargaining decisions. Reflective conversations can help develop a shared vision for how to use this process to support high-quality professional development and ultimately improve student achievement. Please note that this webinar was developed for APPR plans under Education Law §3012-c.
For the purposes of APPR, there are no K-2 standardized tests administered or required by the State. Decisions about how to measure student progress in K-2 are made by local school districts and BOCES. The law provides districts and BOCES with design flexibility and assessment options. This document is intended for districts and BOCES seeking opportunities to reduce and/or refine assessments used in early elementary grades and subjects. Districts and BOCES are encouraged to reflect upon decisions made within Grades K-2 to ensure testing is the minimum necessary for effective decision making at the classroom, school and district level.
Effective March 2, 2014, the Department implemented the Regents action to eliminate traditional standardized assessments for use in K-2 from the list of state-approved assessments for use in APPR plans for the 2014-15 school year and beyond. The Department requires districts and BOCES and their respective collective bargaining units to identify ways other than traditional standardized assessments to assess learning progress for these very young students. There are a variety of ways in which a district or BOCES can design a meaningful and authentic assessment program that provides information to drive instructional decisions, ultimately leading to an increase in students' knowledge and skills. This document offers considerations and opportunities that draw upon performance-based assessment approaches used by a variety of districts and BOCES. The Department offers this resource to encourage districts to engage in collaborative conversations about assessment opportunities available at all levels, including the early elementary level.
On January 2, 2014, Commissioner King announced that the United States Department of Education (USDE) had approved New York State's request for a waiver from Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provisions that currently require students who take Regents exams in mathematics when they are enrolled in seventh or eighth grade to also take the State mathematics assessment for that grade. The waiver gives schools districts and BOCES the flexibility to end the "double-testing" of these students for the 2013-2014 school year.
