The READY initiative focuses on improving student learning by ensuring exceptional teaching and leadership. We prepare students through comprehensive strategies: meaningful evaluations and professional development for educators, fostering great teachers and effective leaders in every classroom, and promoting student readiness for achievement and growth. Statewide Measures of Student Learning and Common Exams in North Carolina guarantee fair teacher evaluations, ensuring consistent standards are met. This approach helps address capacity issues in Local Education Agencies (LEAs) regarding assessments for all grades and subjects.

Focusing on the “Why” So why have statewide Measures of Student Learning/Common Exams? 1. North Carolina has a statewide evaluation system to ensure that every teacher receives a fair and consistent evaluation, regardless of his or her employing LEA 2. Teachers in all content areas should receive a Standard Six rating based on the growth of their own students on their content-specific standards 3. Most LEAs do not have the capacity to design their own assessments for all non state-tested grades and subjects
