  8. Race to the Top “I am issuing a challenge to our nation’s governors and school boards, principals and teachers, businesses and non-profits, parents and students: if you set and enforce rigorous and challenging standards and assessments; if you put outstanding teachers at the front of the classroom; if you turn around failing schools – your state can win a Race to the Top grant.” President Barack ObamaJuly 24, 2009

  9. Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) In 2010, Gov. Pat Quinn signed the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA). PERA requires all schools in Illinois to incorporate measures of student growth into principal and teacher evaluation systems.

  10. Illinois Senate Bill 7 (SB 7) In 2011, Governor Quinn signed into law Senate Bill 7. SB7 connects teacher hiring and dismissal to teacher performance.

  11. Illinois NCLB Waiver No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the most recent authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), is the principal federal law affecting education from kindergarten through high school. On September 23, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) invited states educational agencies to request flexibility on behalf of itself, its districts, and schools, in order to better focus on improving student learning and increasing the quality of instruction. Illinois' flexibility request was initially submitted on February 28, 2012 and resubmitted on January 31, 2014, was granted on April 18, 2014. - ISBE Website

  18. Performance in Context (Adjusted Status) • Adjusted status compares the performance of each district and school to a state benchmark after adjusting for student characteristics that may impact district outcomes. ISAT data from the 2013-2014 school year were evaluated to determine how District 23 district-level and school-level achievement compared to district-level and school-level achievement across the state after adjusting for district characteristics. • The following characteristics were accounted for in the adjusted status model: ·         District-type (e.g., unit), ·         District enrollment, ·         Percentage race/ethnicity, ·         Percentage Limited English Proficiency (LEP), ·         Percentage low-income, ·         Percentage mobility, ·         Geographic location (e.g., Chicagoland), ·         Equalized Assessed Value (EAV).
