Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation– North Carolina Building LEA and Regional Professional Development Capacity First Annual Evaluation Report December 5, 2011 Jenifer Corn, The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Role of Evaluation in RttT 1.Document the activities of the RttT initiatives; 2.Provide timely, formative data, analyses, and recommendations to help the initiative teams improve their ongoing work; and 3.Later in the project, provide summative evaluation results to determine whether the RttT initiatives met their goals and to inform future policy and program decisions 2

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Major Evaluation Questions 1. State Strategies: To what extent did the state implement and support proposed RttT professional development efforts? 2. Short-Term Outcomes: What were direct outcomes of State-level RttT professional development efforts? 3. Intermediate Outcomes: To what extent did RttT professional development efforts successfully update the NC education workforce? 4. Impacts on Student Performance: To what extent are gains in student performance outcomes associated with RttT professional development? 3

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Report Structure I.An overview of the State’s RttT plan for building local professional development capacity; II.Initial evaluation data about the activities through the Summer of 2011, and recommendations for future implementations; III.An overview of the data being collected for the overall, four-year evaluation of the outcomes and impacts of the RttT professional development activities; IV.A summary of baseline data already collected as part of the overall outcomes and impact evaluation, with some recommendations for professional development based on these data; and V.A summary of the next steps for the RttT professional development evaluation. 4

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Purpose and Data Sources I. An overview of the State’s RttT plan for building local professional development capacity Purpose: Document current plan for RttT Professional Development Data Sources: NCDPI Resources 5 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Purpose and Data Sources II. Evaluation of Implementation of State-Level RttT Professional Development Activities Purpose: Provide formative feedback and recommendations about the implementation Data Sources: Observations, Participant interviews, Participant surveys, Focus groups 6 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Purpose and Data Sources III. Evaluating the Impact of RttT Professional Development – Omnibus Survey Purpose: Designed to assess change across a wide range of constructs that may be influenced by the collective set of NC RttT activities, with items in several constructs corresponding to professional development activities. Data Sources: Omnibus survey 7 p. 48

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Purpose and Data Sources III. Evaluating the Impact of RttT Professional Development – Longitudinal Study Purpose: provide detailed information concerning implementation of both state and local professional development initiatives and to determine the impact of those initiatives in diverse school settings across the state Data Sources: Administrative data (including student achievement data); Surveys completed by central office staff, school leaders, and teachers; LEA and school leader interviews; Teacher focus groups; and Classroom observations from a diverse sample of 27 schools 8 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Selected Findings To what extent did the state implement and support proposed RttT professional development efforts? 15 highly-qualified Professional Development Leads are now in the field working directly with the LEAs and charter schools Institute planning and implementation was conducted by a cross-division team that brought together expertise from different groups within NCDPI 2,212 educators attended the six Summer Institutes, and 1,457 (66%) of them completed the post-Institute survey  83% of participants said the Institute was valuable or very valuable.  60% of the participants said they would be very likely to attend another Institute and recommend that colleagues do so.  Institutes appear to have been successful in addressing the needs of a range of participants  Teachers rated the Institute as more valuable than did administrators and professional development coordinators 9 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Recommendations State-Level RttT Professional Development Activities 1.Encourage and strengthen cross-divisional work at NCDPI (p ) 2.Provide more and better information and guidance prior to Institutes 3.Reorganize content sessions 4.Re-conceptualize LEA planning sessions 5.Foster more collaboration across LEAs and among charter schools 6.Address concerns about ongoing, post-Institute support 7.Incorporate greater attention to technology 8.Build on the strengths of the best resources 9.Review approaches to addressing diversity 10.Improve locations and logistics 10 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Selected Findings What were direct outcomes of State-level RttT professional development efforts? (Baseline) Highest ratings on each of these PD-related Omnibus Survey dimensions were given in Region 8 (the Western region). Elementary teachers gave the highest ratings for the professional development they receive, followed by middle school teachers, with high school teacher giving the lowest ratings. TWCS items were very consistent with data from the professional development dimensions of the Omnibus Survey 11 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Selected Findings What were direct outcomes of State-level RttT professional development efforts? (Baseline) Principals were concerned about funding and expected to make greater use of cost-effective online and blended approaches in the future Principals reported that they used the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Process to inform professional development planning Between 1/3 and 1/2 of the principals reported that their schools already had received some professional development on new Standards, on formative and summative assessments, and on using data to improve instruction Principals were looking for guidance, resources, and support to help them make sure that effective professional development will be available for their teachers and staff 12 p

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Recommendations State-Level RttT Professional Development Activities 1.Take advantage of valuable professional development opportunities that already exist in many schools and LEAs 2.Careful attention needs to be paid to developing coherent programs that address major professional development needs 3.Differentiate professional development for elementary, middle, and high school teachers 4.Harness growing interest in online professional development, collaboration, mentoring, and resources. 5.Schools and districts rated low on professional development by their teachers on the TWCS and Omnibus Survey need additional support to ensure that equitable access to high-quality professional development throughout the state. 13 p. 11

Consortium for Educational Research and Evaluation–North Carolina Next Steps 1.Evaluation of the Distinguished Leadership in Practice Principal Institutes, with an interim report planned for Spring Evaluation of the Online Professional Development Modules, Webinars, and Online Supports, also with an interim report planned for Spring Continuation of the Omnibus Survey and Longitudinal Study during each year of the RttT grant. 4.Implementation of the Professional Development Participant Data Base 5.Improvement of surveys for the next round of professional development activities 6.Evaluation of specific-purpose RttT professional development activities in DST schools, selected STEM schools, online teachers of NCVPS STEM courses, and new teachers entering low-performing schools. 14 p
