Rating System
The TIA rating system at Uplift Education is a performance evaluation model that combines teacher effectiveness, as measured by observations (50%), and student growth (50%). Eligible subjects include ES, MS, HS, Interventionists, Fine Arts, Spanish, and P.E. Teacher observation weight is determined by the average of three formal full observations throughout the year, while for teachers with only one assessment, points are based on students reaching specific growth targets.
