Advance Overall Rating (New York City’s teacher development and evaluation system)

The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) utilizes the Advance Overall Rating system to evaluate the performance of teachers. This system comprises Measures of Teacher Practice (MOTP) and Measures of Student Learning (MOSL). The overall rating is determined by the Overall Rating Matrix with ratings of Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, or Ineffective (HEDI). For details about this system, see . Further information about the teacher evaluation system in NYC is available at the  page on the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) website.

Every year, the EPP at CUNY College of Staten Island receives de-identified Overall Rating scores (HEDI Scores) disaggregated by program, evaluation year, and graduation year from the NYCDOE through the City University of New York (CUNY) Department of Education. The data below reflects the 2023-2024 reporting year.
