| WI | Signed into law 11/2009 | P-12 | Current law directs school districts to administer certain standardized examinations to pupils enrolled in the 4th, 8th, and 10th grades. Current law prohibits the school board from using the results of the examinations to evaluate teacher performance, to discharge, suspend, or formally discipline a teacher; or as the reason for the nonrenewal of a teacher's contract. 2009 Wisconsin Act 60 allows the results of the state required standardized examinations and the standardized examinations required under the federal No Child Left Behind Act to be used for the evaluation of teacher performance if certain conditions are met. In order to use the results, the school board must develop a teacher evaluation plan that includes a description of the evaluation process, multiple criteria in addition to examination results, the rationale for using examination results for evaluating teachers, and an explanation of how the school board intends to use the evaluations to improve pupil academic achievement. Act 60 also requires a school district to bargain collectively over the development of or any changes to the teacher evaluation plan.

| IL | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12
Postsec. | Creates the P-20 Longitudinal Education Data System Act. Requires the state board of education, the community college board, and the board of higher education to jointly establish and maintain a longitudinal data system by entering into one or more agreements that link early learning and K-12 student unit records with institution of higher learning student unit records. Identifies the types of data each entity is responsible for collecting and maintaining.
Requires the entities, by June 30, 2013, to improve and expand the longitudinal data system to enable all three entities to:
(1) Reduce the data collection burden on school districts and postsecondary institutions
(2) Provide authorized officials of early learning programs, schools and districts, and institutions of higher learning with access to their own student-level data and summary reports to inform decisionmaking
(3) Link data to instructional management tools that support instruction and assist collaboration among teachers and postsecondary instructors
(4) Enhance existing high school-to-postsecondary reporting systems to inform school
and district officials, education policymakers, and members of the public about public school students' performance in postsecondary education
(5) Provide data reporting, analysis, and planning tools that assist with financial oversight, human resource management and other support functions
(6) Improve student access to educational opportunities by linking data to college and career planning portals, facilitating the submission of electronic transcripts and scholarship and financial aid applications, and transfer of student records to K-12 and postsecondary officials
(7) Establish a public Internet web interface that provides non-confidential data reports and permits members of the public to more easily access information on school performance
(8) Provide the general assembly with research to help legislators evaluate the effectiveness of specific programs and analyze educational performance within their legislative districts
(9) Allow the three entities to meet federal and state reporting requirements
(10) Establish a system to evaluate teacher and administrator preparation programs using student academic growth as one component of evaluation
(11) In accordance with a data sharing agreement entered into between the three entities and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, establish procedures and systems to evaluate the relationship between need-based financial aid and postsecondary enrollment and success
(12) In accordance with data sharing agreements entered into between the three entities and health and human service agencies, establish procedures and systems to evaluate the relationship between education and other student and family support systems
(13) In accordance with data sharing agreements entered into between the three entities and employment and workforce development agencies, establish procedures and systems to evaluate the relationship between education programs and outcomes and employment fields, employment locations and employment outcomes.
Directs the state board, in collaboration with the other two entities and subject to the availability of funding, to establish by June 30, 2013 a data warehouse that integrates data from multiple student unit record systems and supports all of the uses and functions set forth in the Act. Specifies that the data warehouse must include:
(1) A unique student identifier not derived from a student's social security number
(2) Student-level enrollment, demographic, and program participation information, including information on participation in dual credit programs
(3) The ability to match individual students' K-12 test records from year to year to measure academic growth
(4) Information on untested K-12 students, and the reasons they were not tested
(5) A teacher and administrator identifier system with the ability to match students to early learning and K-12 teachers and administrators. Provides that a district may not use such data for teacher pay or benefits decisions unless the district and the exclusive bargaining representative of the district's teachers, if any, have agreed to this use. Also bars districts from using such data for evaluation decisions unless, in good faith cooperation with the district's teachers or, where applicable, the exclusive bargaining representative of the district's teachers, the district has developed an evaluation plan that specifically describes the district's rationale for using this information for evaluations, how this information will be used as part of the evaluation process, and how this information will relate to evaluation standards. Provides that nothing limits a charter school's use of any local or state data in connection with teacher pay, benefits or evaluations.
(6) Student-level transcript information, including information on middle and high school courses completed and grades earned. Requires the state board to establish a statewide course classification system, and for all districts and charter schools to map its course descriptions to the statewide course classification system for purposes of state reporting.
(7) Student-level college readiness test scores
(8) Student-level graduation and dropout data
(9) The ability to match P-12 student unit records with institution of higher learning student unit record systems
(10) A state data audit system assessing data quality, validity and reliability.
Identifies additional purposes for which the three entities may use data provided to and maintained by the longitudinal data system. Requires the entities, in the development of the data system, to convene stakeholders and create opportunities for input in the areas of data ownership and use, research priorities, data management, confidentiality, data access and reporting. Requires representatives of the entities to report to and advise the Illinois P-20 Council on the implementation, operation, and expansion of the longitudinal data system. Requires the state board to collect data from charter schools with more than one campus in a manner that can be disaggregated by campus site. Requires the state board to establish procedures through which state-recognized, nonpublic schools may elect to disclose data to the state board for inclusion in the longitudinal data system. Provides that beginning on July 1, 2012, the board of higher education is authorized to collect and maintain data from any nonpublic institution of higher learning enrolling students receiving Monetary Award Program grants, and disclose this data to the longitudinal data system. Authorizes the board of higher education to contract with one or more voluntary consortiums of nonpublic institutions of higher learning established for the purpose of data sharing, research and analysis. Requires the entities to establish data submission procedures and requirements. Establishes provisions related to data sharing. Authorizes any state agency, board, authority or commission to enter into a data sharing arrangement with one or more of the three entities to share data to support the research and evaluation activities authorized by this Act. Also authorizes the entities to enter into data sharing arrangements with other governmental entities, institutions of higher learning, and research organizations that support the research and evaluation activities authorized by this Act. Establishes criteria that data sharing agreements must meet.
Subject to the availability of funding, requires the three entities to contract with an independent outside evaluator for oversight of the development and operation of the longitudinal data system. Requires the evaluator to submit an annual report to the three entities, the Illinois P-20 Council, and specified legislative leaders. Specifies areas that must be included in the annual evaluation. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/96/SB/PDF/09600SB1828lv.pdf

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | By December 31, 2010, directs the department of education, in consultation with the educator standards board, to develop a model peer assistance and review program, and to develop recommendations to expand the use of peer assistance and review programs throughout the state. Requires the department, in developing the model program, to review existing peer assistance and review programs in the state and consult with districts about the operation of those programs. Requires the model program to include:
(1) Releasing experienced classroom teachers from instructional duties for up to 3 years to focus full-time on mentoring and evaluating new and underperforming veteran teachers through classroom observations and follow-up meetings
(2) Professional development for new and underperforming teachers targeted at areas of instructional weakness
(3) A committee comprised of representatives of teachers and the employer to review teacher evaluations and make recommendations regarding teachers' continued employment.
Requires recommendations to include:
(1) Identification of barriers to expansion of peer assistance and review programs, including financial constraints, labor-management relationships, and barriers unique to small districts
(2) Legislative changes that would eliminate barriers to expansion of programs
(3) Incentives to increase participation in the programs.
Requires the department to provide copies of its model program and recommendations to the governor and specified legislative leaders. Also requires the department to make the model program and recommendations available to districts and to post them to the department Web site.
