RIDE Surveys

From Friends Memo 2-22-17 - RIDE

We're less than two weeks into the administration of the SurveyWorks parent survey and nearly 5,000 responses have been submitted by Rhode Island parents and guardians.  Several districts across the state have hundreds of responses recorded, with North Kingstown, Barrington, Smithfield, and Pawtucket leading the way.  Parents' participation in the survey can directly improve the learning environment of schools in Rhode Island.

To complete the survey by March 31, 2017, parents simply need to visit the website: surveys.panoramaed.com/ride, enter their access code (provided by their school), and then take the 15-20 minute survey.  

RIDE posts statewide report on educator evaluation data

Now in our fifth year of implementation, district educator evaluation models and procedures in Rhode Island have changed over time and continue to evolve based on feedback and best practice. As part of our commitment to ongoing transparency regarding educator evaluation data and changes to our models, we are continuing to release data reports.

We have just released a report from the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years. This report captures general model use and educator final effectiveness ratings and student learning ratings. As a state, we are focused on enriching the conversations related to instruction and student learning; therefore, we also provide some updates on some work we are doing currently.

The report and updates can be found on our website. 
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this report, please reach out to EdEval@ride.ri.gov.
