Individual Student Advancement Award
Awards are earned per net student based on moving students to proficiency (meets or exceeds grade-level expectations) in both reading and math. Net students are calculated by combining the total number of students from not proficient in the fall to proficient in the spring minus those who were proficient in the fall and not proficient in the spring. Award payouts vary based on grade level. These amounts would be divided between co-teachers.

Roster Rules
The Excellence in Teaching Award is based on fall-to-spring student growth (i-Ready).
The Awards require students to have assessment results for fall and spring (i-Ready).
The Awards are based on two components: Classroom Growth and Student Advancement.
Every student must be placed on an educator’s roster.
Students may only be on one educator’s roster per subject, unless the student is in a co-Teaching classroom.
School-wide and teacher rosters will be reviewed and approved throughout the year in coordination with campus-based teams.
Rosters for all teachers will be verified in coordination with school principals prior to the spring testing window.
Awards will be communicated after all rosters and assessment data have been vetted and verified.
After award determination, an inquiry window is available for educators to raise potential issues.
