With the passage of a series of new laws in 2010 and 2011, Michigan lawmakers enacted a requirement that Michigan schools implement enhanced performance evaluation systems.  Further, they required that schools use this system, at a minimum, to inform decisions regarding teacher effectiveness, promotion, retention, professional development and tenure.

In response, MASA has compiled the following resources to help answer your questions and assist you in designing and implementing a performance evaluation system.

• MASA/Michigan ASCD Assumptions and Framework for Educator Evaluation
• MASA/Michigan ASCD Testimony (12.7.11) before the Governor's Council on Educator Effectiveness
• Educator Evaluation at a Glance--Highlights district requirements under MCL 380.1249
• Educator Evaluation FAQ--updated 10.28.11
