��

An Act concerning student growth objectives and supplementing 
chapter 6 of Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� Notwithstanding any law, 
rule, or regulation to the contrary, the State Board of Education shall not 
require student growth objectives, or any substantially similar assessment, as 
part of the evaluation of any teacher. 

���� 2.��� This act shall take

STATEMENT

���� This bill prohibits the State 
Board of Education from requiring the completion of student growth objectives 
as part of the evaluation of any teacher. 

���� Under current law, the State 
Board of Education sets the minimum standards for the teacher evaluation 
rubric. The student achievement component of the teacher evaluation rubric 
currently utilizes �student growth objectives,� which are multiple assessments 
designed by teachers to measure student progress in relation to the New Jersey 
Student Learning Standards. Student growth objectives account for between 15 
and 50 percent of a teacher�s overall evaluation.

���� Under the bill, the State 
Board of Education would be prohibited from requiring student growth 
objectives, or any substantially similar assessment, as part of the evaluation 
of any teacher.
