Explaining Teacher and Principal Growth Scores Based Upon Student Growth (School Year 2022-23)
November 2023
Prepared for the New app app Education Department by Education Analytics
Introduction
In 2022–23, approximately 38,000 teachers in English Language Arts (ELA)/math in grades 4–8 and 3,400 principals (of schools containing grades 4–8 as well as principals of schools containing all of grades 9–12) received a app-provided growth rating and score. The New app app Education Department (app or “the Department”) has provided a variety of materials to help districts and educators understand and use the app-provided growth scores. These materials can be found at the app.gov app Growth Measures Toolkits page.
The following document was developed based upon inquiries made directly by stakeholders across the app[1]. This document is separated into three sections with subsections:
Teachers’ Frequently Asked Questions
- Specific Growth Scores
Principals’ Frequently Asked Questions
- Specific Growth Scores
- Accessing Results
- Deadlines and Release Dates
