17         (b)  The statistical system shall provide for an

18  approach which provides for best linear unbiased prediction

19  for the teacher, school, and school district effects on pupil

20  progress.  These estimates should adequately be able to

21  determine effects of and compare teachers who teach multiple

22  subjects to the same groups of students, and team teaching

23  situations where teachers teach a single subject to multiple

24  groups of students, or other teaching situations as

25  appropriate.

26         1.  The department, in consultation with the Office of

27  Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability, and

28  other sources as appropriate, shall use recognized approaches

29  to statistical variance and estimating random effects.

30         2.  The approach used by the department shall be

31  approved by the State Board of Education before implementation
