Student Learning & Goal Setting

Nebraska's evaluation model emphasizes student learning through measurable growth goals. Teachers set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) at the beginning of the year and track progress throughout the evaluation cycle.

Goal Setting

Teachers establish measurable student learning goals based on baseline data and aligned with Nebraska standards.

Progress Monitoring

Regular formative assessments track student progress toward learning goals throughout the school year.

Assessment Evidence

Multiple sources of evidence demonstrate student achievement of learning objectives and growth.

Final Evaluation

Student learning results contribute to the overall effectiveness rating, demonstrating impact on student outcomes.

Nebraska's Focus: Continuous Improvement & Data-Driven Decision Making

Nebraska emphasizes ongoing professional growth through data-driven reflection and continuous improvement. The evaluation process is designed to support teacher development and enhance student learning outcomes.

Data-Driven Reflection

Teachers analyze student performance data, observation feedback, and self-assessments to identify areas for growth and professional development.

Continuous Feedback Loop

Regular observations, goal check-ins, and collaborative conversations ensure ongoing support and timely adjustments to instructional practices.

Collaborative Growth

Administrators and teachers work together to set professional development goals, share best practices, and build a culture of continuous improvement.

Nebraska Performance Levels

Nebraska uses a four-level performance rating system that combines professional practice observations with student learning evidence to determine overall educator effectiveness.

Proficient

Performance consistently meets professional standards with clear evidence of positive student outcomes
