Performance Evaluation Legislation Illinois

On May 4, 2010, the Illinois Education Association (IEA) collaborated with the Illinois State Board of Education and Governor’s Office, motivated by pressures from legislators amidst the Race to the Top grant competition. This unprecedented collective effort led to the development of guidelines for teacher evaluations, emphasizing the importance of using diverse measures, including student growth data. The legislation, initiated in the 2012-2013 school year, introduced new evaluation categories and required comprehensive training for evaluators, aiming to enhance educational quality and accountability in Illinois.
