   21          
   22  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   23  
   24         Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) and subsections
   25  (3), (6), (7), and (8) of section 1012.34, Florida Statutes, are
   26  amended to read:
   27         1012.34 Personnel evaluation procedures and criteria.—
   28         (1) EVALUATION SYSTEM APPROVAL AND REPORTING.—
   29         (b) The department must approve each school district’s
   30  instructional personnel and school administrator evaluation
   31  systems. The department shall monitor each district’s
   32  implementation of its instructional personnel and school
   33  administrator evaluation systems for compliance with the
   34  requirements of this section and s. 1012.3401.
   35         (3) EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA.—Instructional
   36  personnel and school administrator performance evaluations must
   37  be based upon the performance of students assigned to their
   38  classrooms or schools, as provided in this section. Pursuant to
   39  this section, a school district’s performance evaluation is not
   40  limited to basing unsatisfactory performance of instructional
   41  personnel and school administrators solely upon student
   42  performance. The performance evaluation must also, but may
   43  include other criteria approved to evaluate instructional
   44  personnel and school administrators’ performance, or any
   45  combination of student performance and other approved criteria.
   46  Evaluation procedures and criteria must comply with, but are not
   47  limited to, the following:
   48         (a) A performance evaluation must be conducted for each
   49  employee at least once a year, except that a classroom teacher,
   50  as defined in s. 1012.01(2)(a), excluding substitute teachers,
   51  who is newly hired by the district school board must be observed
   52  and evaluated at least twice in the first year of teaching in
   53  the school district. The performance evaluation must be based
   54  upon sound educational principles and contemporary research in
   55  effective educational practices. The evaluation criteria must
   56  include:
   57         1. Performance of students.—Thirty At least 50 percent of a
   58  performance evaluation must be based upon data and indicators of
   59  student learning growth assessed annually by statewide
   60  assessments or, for subjects and grade levels not measured by
   61  statewide assessments, by school district assessments as
   62  provided in s. 1008.22(6). Each school district must use the
   63  formula adopted pursuant to paragraph (7)(a) for measuring
   64  student learning growth in all courses associated with statewide
   65  assessments and must select an equally appropriate formula for
   66  measuring student learning growth for all other grades and
   67  subjects, except as otherwise provided in subsection (7).
   68         a. For classroom teachers, as defined in s. 1012.01(2)(a),
   69  excluding substitute teachers, the student learning growth
   70  portion of the evaluation must include growth data for students
   71  assigned to the teacher over the course of at least 3 years. If
   72  less than 3 years of data are available, the years for which
   73  data are available must be used and the percentage of the
   74  evaluation based upon student learning growth may be reduced to
   75  not less than 40 percent.
   76         b. For instructional personnel who are not classroom
   77  teachers, the student learning growth portion of the evaluation
   78  must include growth data on statewide assessments for students
   79  assigned to the instructional personnel over the course of at
   80  least 3 years, or may include a combination of student learning
   81  growth data and other measurable student outcomes that are
   82  specific to the assigned position, provided that the student
   83  learning growth data accounts for not less than 30 percent of
   84  the evaluation. If less than 3 years of student growth data are
   85  available, the years for which data are available must be used
   86  and the percentage of the evaluation based upon student learning
   87  growth may be reduced to not less than 20 percent.
   88         c. For school administrators, the student learning growth
   89  portion of the evaluation must include growth data for students
   90  assigned to the school over the course of at least 3 years. If
   91  less than 3 years of data are available, the years for which
   92  data are available must be used and the percentage of the
   93  evaluation based upon student learning growth may be reduced to
   94  not less than 40 percent.
   95         2. Instructional practice.—Evaluation criteria used when
   96  annually observing classroom teachers, as defined in s.
   97  1012.01(2)(a), excluding substitute teachers, must include
   98  indicators based upon each of the Florida Educator Accomplished
   99  Practices adopted by the State Board of Education. For
  100  instructional personnel who are not classroom teachers,
  101  evaluation criteria must be based upon indicators of the Florida
  102  Educator Accomplished Practices and may include specific job
  103  expectations related to student support.
  104         3. Instructional leadership.—For school administrators,
  105  evaluation criteria must include indicators based upon each of
  106  the leadership standards adopted by the State Board of Education
  107  under s. 1012.986, including performance measures related to the
  108  effectiveness of classroom teachers in the school, the
  109  administrator’s appropriate use of evaluation criteria and
  110  procedures, recruitment and retention of effective and highly
  111  effective classroom teachers, improvement in the percentage of
  112  instructional personnel evaluated at the highly effective or
  113  effective level, and other leadership practices that result in
  114  student learning growth. The system may include a means to give
  115  parents and instructional personnel an opportunity to provide
  116  input into the administrator’s performance evaluation.
  117         4. Professional and job responsibilities.—For instructional
  118  personnel and school administrators, other professional and job
  119  responsibilities must be included as adopted by the State Board
  120  of Education. The district school board may identify additional
  121  professional and job responsibilities.
  122         (b) All personnel must be fully informed of the criteria
  123  and procedures associated with the evaluation process before the
  124  evaluation takes place.
  125         (c) The individual responsible for supervising the employee
  126  must evaluate the employee’s performance. The evaluation system
  127  may provide for the evaluator to consider input from other
  128  personnel trained under paragraph (2)(f). The evaluator must
  129  submit a written report of the evaluation to the district school
  130  superintendent for the purpose of reviewing the employee’s
  131  contract. The evaluator must submit the written report to the
  132  employee no later than 10 days after the evaluation takes place.
  133  The evaluator must discuss the written evaluation report with
  134  the employee. The employee shall have the right to initiate a
  135  written response to the evaluation, and the response shall
  136  become a permanent attachment to his or her personnel file.
  137         (d) The evaluator may amend an evaluation based upon
  138  assessment data from the current school year if the data becomes
  139  available within 90 days after the close of the school year. The
  140  evaluator must then comply with the procedures set forth in
  141  paragraph (c).
  142         (6) ANNUAL REVIEW OF AND REVISIONS TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
  143  EVALUATION SYSTEMS.—The district school board shall establish a
  144  procedure for annually reviewing instructional personnel and
  145  school administrator evaluation systems to determine compliance
  146  with this section and s. 1012.3401. All substantial revisions to
  147  an approved evaluation system must be reviewed and approved by
  148  the district school board before being used to evaluate
  149  instructional personnel or school administrators. Upon request
  150  by a school district, the department shall provide assistance in
  151  developing, improving, or reviewing an evaluation system.
  152         (7) MEASUREMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING GROWTH.—
  153         (a) The Commissioner of Education shall approve a formula
  154  to measure individual student learning growth on the statewide,
  155  standardized assessments in English Language Arts and
  156  mathematics administered under s. 1008.22. The formula must take
  157  into consideration each student’s prior academic performance.
  158  The formula must not set different expectations for student
  159  learning growth based upon a student’s gender, race, ethnicity,
  160  or socioeconomic status. In the development of the formula, the
  161  commissioner shall consider other factors such as a student’s
  162  attendance record, disability status, or status as an English
  163  language learner. The commissioner shall select additional
  164  formulas as appropriate for the remainder of the statewide
  165  assessments included under s. 1008.22 and continue to select
  166  formulas as new assessments are implemented in the state system.
  167  After the commissioner approves the formula to measure
  168  individual student learning growth, the State Board of Education
  169  shall adopt these formulas in rule.
  170         (b) Each school district shall measure student learning
  171  growth using the formulas approved by the commissioner under
  172  paragraph (a) for courses associated with the statewide,
  173  standardized assessments administered under s. 1008.22 no later
  174  than the school year immediately following the year the formula
  175  is approved by the commissioner. For grades and subjects not
  176  assessed by statewide, standardized assessments but otherwise
  177  assessed as required under s. 1008.22(6), Each school district
  178  shall measure performance of students using a methodology
  179  determined by the district including multiple data points that
  180  must include state assessment data when available and when
  181  considered appropriate by the school district. The department
  182  shall provide models for measuring performance of students which
  183  school districts may adopt.
  184         (a)(c) For a course that is not measured by a statewide,
  185  standardized assessment, a school district may request, through
  186  the evaluation system approval process, to use a student’s
  187  achievement level rather than student learning growth if
  188  achievement is demonstrated to be a more appropriate measure of
  189  classroom teacher performance. A school district may also
  190  request to use a combination of student learning growth and
  191  achievement, if appropriate.
  192         (d) For a course that is not measured by a statewide,
  193  standardized assessment, a school district may request, through
  194  the evaluation system approval process, that the performance
  195  evaluation for the classroom teacher assigned to that course
  196  include the learning growth of his or her students on one or
  197  more statewide, standardized assessments. The request must
  198  clearly explain the rationale supporting the request.
  199         (b)(e)For purposes of this section and only for the 2014
  200  2015 school year, A school district may use measurable learning
  201  targets on local assessments administered under s. 1008.22(6) to
  202  evaluate the performance of the students portion of a classroom
  203  teacher’s evaluation for courses that are not assessed by
  204  statewide, standardized assessments. Learning targets must be
  205  approved by the school principal. A district school
  206  superintendent may assign to instructional personnel in an
  207  instructional team the student learning growth of the
  208  instructional team’s students on statewide assessments. This
  209  paragraph expires July 1, 2015.
  210         (8) RULEMAKING.—The State Board of Education shall adopt
  211  rules pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54 which establish
  212  uniform procedures for the submission, review, and approval of
  213  district evaluation systems and reporting requirements for the
  214  annual evaluation of instructional personnel and school
  215  administrators; specific, discrete standards for each
  216  performance level required under subsection (2) to ensure clear
  217  and sufficient differentiation in the performance levels and to
  218  provide consistency in meaning across school districts; the
  219  measurement of student learning growth and associated
  220  implementation procedures required under subsection (7); and a
  221  process for monitoring school district implementation of
  222  evaluation systems in accordance with this section.
  223  Specifically, the rules shall establish student performance
  224  levels that if not met will result in the employee receiving an
  225  unsatisfactory performance evaluation rating. In like manner,
  226  the rules shall establish a student performance level that must
  227  be met in order for an employee to receive a highly effective
  228  rating and a student learning growth standard that must be met
  229  in order for an employee to receive an effective rating.
  230         Section 2. Subsections (1) and (3) of section 1012.3401,
  231  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  232         1012.3401 Requirements for measuring student performance in
  233  instructional personnel and school administrator performance
  234  evaluations; performance evaluation of personnel for purposes of
  235  performance salary schedule.—Notwithstanding any provision to
  236  the contrary in ss. 1012.22 and 1012.34 regarding the
  237  performance salary schedule and personnel evaluation procedures
  238  and criteria:
  239         (1) Thirty At least 50 percent of a classroom teacher’s or
  240  school administrator’s performance evaluation, or 40 percent if
  241  less than 3 years of student performance data are available,
  242  shall be based upon learning growth or achievement of the
  243  teacher’s students or, for a school administrator, the students
  244  attending that school; the remaining portion shall be based upon
  245  factors identified in district-determined, state-approved
  246  evaluation system plans. Student achievement measures for
  247  courses associated with statewide assessments may be used in
  248  addition to other measurements of student learning most
  249  appropriate to the subject taught and the specific duties of the
  250  individual classroom teacher. At least two data sources must be
  251  used to determine student performance for evaluation purposes
  252  only if a statewide growth formula has not been approved for
  253  that assessment or, for courses associated with school district
  254  assessments, if achievement is demonstrated to be a more
  255  appropriate measure of teacher performance.
  256         (3) For purposes of the performance salary schedule in s.
  257  1012.22, the student assessment data in the performance
  258  evaluation must be from statewide assessments or district
  259  determined assessments as required in s. 1008.22(6) in the
  260  subject areas taught.
  261         Section 3. Paragraph (a) of subsection (4) of section
  262  1004.04, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  263         1004.04 Public accountability and state approval for
  264  teacher preparation programs.—
  265         (4) CONTINUED PROGRAM APPROVAL.—Continued approval of a
  266  teacher preparation program shall be based upon evidence that
  267  the program continues to implement the requirements for initial
  268  approval and upon significant, objective, and quantifiable
  269  measures of the program and the performance of the program
  270  completers.
  271         (a) The criteria for continued approval must include each
  272  of the following:
  273         1. Documentation from the program that each program
  274  candidate met the admission requirements provided in subsection
  275  (3).
  276         2. Documentation from the program that the program and each
  277  program completer have met the requirements provided in

  379  Instructional personnel on continuing contract or professional
  380  service contract may opt into the performance salary schedule if
  381  the employee relinquishes such contract and agrees to be
  382  employed on an annual contract under s. 1012.335. Such an
  383  employee shall be placed on the performance salary schedule and
  384  may not return to continuing contract or professional service
  385  contract status. Any employee who opts into the performance
  386  salary schedule may not return to the grandfathered salary
  387  schedule.
  388         b. In determining the grandfathered salary schedule for
  389  instructional personnel, a district school board must base a
  390  portion of each employee’s compensation upon performance
  391  demonstrated under s. 1012.34 and shall provide differentiated
  392  pay for both instructional personnel and school administrators
  393  based upon district-determined factors, including, but not
  394  limited to, additional responsibilities, school demographics,
  395  critical shortage areas, and level of job performance
  396  difficulties.
  397         5. Performance salary schedule.—By July 1, 2014, the
  398  district school board shall adopt a performance salary schedule
  399  that provides annual salary adjustments for instructional
  400  personnel and school administrators based upon performance
  401  determined under s. 1012.34. Employees hired on or after July 1,
  402  2014, or employees who choose to move from the grandfathered
  403  salary schedule to the performance salary schedule shall be
  404  compensated pursuant to the performance salary schedule once
  405  they have received the appropriate performance evaluation for
  406  this purpose. However, a classroom teacher whose performance
  407  evaluation utilizes student learning growth measures established
  408  under s. 1012.34(7)(b) s. 1012.34(7)(e) shall remain under the
  409  grandfathered salary schedule until his or her teaching
  410  assignment changes to a subject for which there is an assessment
  411  or the school district establishes equally appropriate measures
  412  of student learning growth as defined under s. 1012.34 and rules
  413  of the State Board of Education.
  414         a. Base salary.—The base salary shall be established as
  415  follows:
  416         (I) The base salary for instructional personnel or school
  417  administrators who opt into the performance salary schedule
  418  shall be the salary paid in the prior year, including
  419  adjustments only.
  420         (II) Beginning July 1, 2014, instructional personnel or
  421  school administrators new to the district, returning to the
  422  district after a break in service without an authorized leave of
  423  absence, or appointed for the first time to a position in the
  424  district in the capacity of instructional personnel or school
  425  administrator shall be placed on the performance salary
  426  schedule.
  427         b. Salary adjustments.—Salary adjustments for highly
  428  effective or effective performance shall be established as
  429  follows:
  430         (I) The annual salary adjustment under the performance
  431  salary schedule for an employee rated as highly effective must
  432  be greater than the highest annual salary adjustment available
  433  to an employee of the same classification through any other
  434  salary schedule adopted by the district.
  435         (II) The annual salary adjustment under the performance
  436  salary schedule for an employee rated as effective must be equal
  437  to at least 50 percent and no more than 75 percent of the annual
  438  adjustment provided for a highly effective employee of the same
  439  classification.
  440         (III) The performance salary schedule shall not provide an
  441  annual salary adjustment for an employee who receives a rating
  442  other than highly effective or effective for the year.
  443         c. Salary supplements.—In addition to the salary
  444  adjustments, each district school board shall provide for salary
  445  supplements for activities that must include, but are not
  446  limited to:
  447         (I) Assignment to a Title I eligible school.
  448         (II) Assignment to a school that earned a grade of “F” or
  449  three consecutive grades of “D” pursuant to s. 1008.34 such that
  450  the supplement remains in force for at least 1 year following
  451  improved performance in that school.
  452         (III) Certification and teaching in critical teacher
  453  shortage areas. Statewide critical teacher shortage areas shall
  454  be identified by the State Board of Education under s. 1012.07.
  455  However, the district school board may identify other areas of
  456  critical shortage within the school district for purposes of
  457  this sub-sub-subparagraph and may remove areas identified by the
  458  state board which do not apply within the school district.
  459         (IV) Assignment of additional academic responsibilities.
  460  
  461  If budget constraints in any given year limit a district school
  462  board’s ability to fully fund all adopted salary schedules, the
  463  performance salary schedule shall not be reduced on the basis of
  464  total cost or the value of individual awards in a manner that is
  465  proportionally greater than reductions to any other salary
  466  schedules adopted by the district.
  467         Section 6. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section
  468  1012.341, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  469         1012.341 Exemption from performance evaluation system and
  470  compensation and salary schedule requirements.—
  471         (2) By October 1, 2014, and by October 1 annually
  472  thereafter, the superintendent of Hillsborough County School
  473  District shall attest, in writing, to the Commissioner of
  474  Education that:
  475         (b) The instructional personnel and school administrator
  476  evaluation systems adopt the Commissioner of Education’s student
  477  learning growth methodology formula for statewide assessments as
  478  provided under s. 1012.34(7).
  479  
  480  This section is repealed August 1, 2017, unless reviewed and
  481  reenacted by the Legislature.
  482         Section 7. Paragraph (c) of subsection (8) of section
  483  1012.56, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  484         1012.56 Educator certification requirements.—
  485         (8) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATION AND EDUCATION
  486  COMPETENCY PROGRAM.—
  487         (c) The Commissioner of Education shall determine the
  488  continued approval of programs implemented under paragraph (a)
  489  based upon the department’s periodic review of the following:
  490         1. Evidence that the requirements in paragraph (a) are
  491  consistently met; and
  492         2. Evidence of performance in each of the following areas:

  497  assessments using the results of the student learning growth
  498  methodology formula adopted under s. 1012.34.
  499         c. Performance of students in prekindergarten through grade
  500  12 who are assigned to in-field program completers aggregated by
  501  student subgroups, as defined in the federal Elementary and
  502  Secondary Education Act (ESEA), 20 U.S.C. s.
  503  6311(b)(2)(C)(v)(II), as a measure of how well the program
  504  prepares teachers to work with a variety of students in Florida
  505  public schools.
  506         d. Results of program completers’ annual evaluations in
  507  accordance with the timeline as set forth in s. 1012.34.
