State Roles
Traditionally the purview of districts, control over teacher evaluation policy is increasingly
shifting to the state level; there is wide variation, however, in what role states adopt and what
degree of flexibility is left to districts in designing and implementing new teacher evaluation
systems. The State Roles page provides a brief narrative describing the distribution of control
over teacher evaluation policy in each state. To allow for easy comparison, each state is
categorized as belonging to one of three hypothetical models, described in the graphic below that
illustrates low, moderate, or high levels of state control over teacher evaluation policy.
To view a short narrative on each state, click the state’s name below each model description.
