CTESS ebook

In 2015, the Utah State Board of Education determ ined that the educator’s Summative Overall R ating (SOR) be based on 70% from the Instructional Quality Rating (IQR), 20% from the Student Growth Rating (SGR), and 10% from the Stakeholder Input Rating (SIR). This formula was adopted by Canyons School District.

Effectiveness Rating Educator performance results in an effectiveness rating for each of the three elements as well as a Summative Overall Rating.

These are the ratings that can be achieved through the CTESS process:

The expectation in Canyons School District is that all teachers earn at least an “ Effective ” rating. Teachers who achieve such a rating are accomplished teachers who provide their students with valued instruction every day. Students with teachers who have earned “Effective” or “Highly Effective” ratings make great strides in acquiring knowledge and skills to progress through curriculum.
