An NPR  (11/14, Lieszkovszky) "State Impact" piece reports on a new teacher evaluation system being developed in Ohio, noting that according to state Board of Education Vice President Tom Gunlock, who serves on a committee "tasked with creating a framework that all districts have to abide by when they write their own teacher evaluation systems," the new systems will be based on a 50% student growth assessment, while "50 percent will be made up of other assessments, such as teacher observations and communications with parents and students. Districts can decide how much weight to give these areas."
