This policy brief explores Senate Enrolled Act 001 (SEA 1), specifically the provisions for how teachers must be evaluated. After a short summary of SEA 1 and its direct changes to evaluation policies and practices, the brief reviews literature in teacher evaluation and highlights important issues for school corporations to consider when selecting an evaluation system. Five teacher evaluation models, including the RISE Evaluation and Development System that is being developed by the Indiana Department of Education, are then described and considered within the context of SEA 1. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for school districts are outlined. (Contains 5 tables, 1 figure, 12 footnotes and 11 web resources.)
