The Teacher Quality Center, with support from the Office of Special Education Programs, is offering a webinar series to discuss educator performance evaluation and the challenges in measuring and including the growth of students with disabilities in those evaluations. The purpose of the webinars is to provide an overview of several issues: 1) various methods to measure growth; (2) challenges these measures pose for students with disabilities; (3) implementation implications and considerations for states and districts; and (4) needed areas of research to validate state and district efforts. The series includes three webinars which are listed below.
