Design Approach: Philosophical Commitments 1 The commissioner shall ensure that the method used to evaluate performance is implemented in a manner that provides the mathematical possibility that all districts and campuses receive an A rating. No Forced Distribution 2 We WANT stability in the model, we do not want the bar to keep changing. We want to commit to something where the bar will remain static for 5 years, where the rules don t change. Law switched from annually to periodically 7
