AEI (Alternative Evaluation Instrument) Process
State Board Policy TCED-016, it is stated that a local board shall use the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards (NCPTS) and North Carolina Educator Evaluation System (NCEES) unless it develops an alternative evaluation that is properly validated and that includes standards and criteria similar to those in the NCPTS and NCEES.
The following are some important considerations for LEAs or charter schools to consider when submitting evidence to the SBE for approval:
•The validation study should be conducted by an external agency. This means that the LEA or vendor should not be conducting its own validation study, but that an unbiased third party should conduct the validation study.
•The third-party evaluator should submit a summary of its methodology along with its findings.
•The LEA/charter school or the vendor should submit a crosswalk between the new instrument and the state instrument which demonstrates the coverage of all the domains of the state evaluation system.
Review the entire process and requirements.
Office Hours
The purpose of the OCS Office Hours is to allow Charter School Leaders to connect with NCDPI department representatives virtually. Our office holds monthly learning opportunities for NCDPI departments to share information and resources. Please see below for current sessions.
