Options for Provider Impact Domain Option 1: EPPs receive a provider impact rating and an overall rating • Give EPPs a provider impact rating based on the data we have available • Adjust performance benchmarks to account for fewer third-year teachers in evaluation data Option 2: EPPs receive neither a provider impact rating nor an overall rating • Report available provider impact data but do not give EPPs a provider impact rating • EPPs would still receive ratings for the candidate profile and employment domains but would not receive an overall rating Option 3: EPPs receive a provider impact rating but not an overall rating • Adjust performance benchmarks to account for fewer third-year teachers in evaluation data • EPPs would receive a rating for each of the scored domains but would not receive an overall rating
