Every Student Succeeds Act  The Every Student Succeeds Act aligns with Key Priorities for ESEA Reauthorization:  Maintains annual assessments and authorizes innovative assessment pilots  Gives states increased flexibility to design school accountability systems, school interventions, and student supports  Gives states flexibility to work with local stakeholders to develop educator evaluation and support systems  Increases state and local flexibility in the use of federal funds

Teacher Evaluation and Support  The Every Student Succeeds Act does not require specific educator evaluation measures or methods;  It allows but does not require that Title II funds be used to implement specific teacher evaluation measures;  It reauthorizes the Teacher Incentive Fund, a competitive grant to support innovative educator evaluation systems.

 Accreditation Model  ESSA  Individual Plans of Study  Social Emotional Character Development  Kindergarten Readiness  Civic Engagement  Kansas Learning Network  Teacher/Leader Evaluations  Ambitious Long-Term Goals (AMO’s)  Teacher/Student Equity  Post-Secondary Measures  Graduation Rates Initiatives

 Student performance may include any combination of:  Locally created methods  Commercial products  State assessments State assessments are not required for use in the educator evaluation. This is a district decision. Student Performance

 Definitions  Exemplars  Videos  Artifacts  Support Materials Quality Training

Parameters: Small groups (3-4 people) 4x6 Notecards 15 minute time limit Activity Objectives: 1.Define student performance on front of card 2.Provide 3-6 potential examples of student performance “data” on back of card 3. Turn in cards for discussion Student Performance Activity (students demonstrating learning)

Activity Results DEFINITIONS POTENTIAL DATA

 The change in student performance for an individual student between two or more points in time.  To include gains and progress toward post-secondary and workforce readiness  To include progress in academic and functional goals in an individualized education program or meeting academic student performance objectives Defining Student Performance (Do these still make sense?)

AugSeptOctNovDecJanFebMarchAprilMay 4th Grade Curriculum Standards 85% Grade Level Expectation Assuming 85% of students exiting 3 rd grade accomplished 3 rd grade curriculum, the expectation would be at least the same amount of growth would occur by completion of the 4 th grade, or on any given measure used. Example: In a class of 24 students, 20 students would be above the Grade Level Expectation line by the end of the Academic Year. 24 x.85 = 20.2 This scenario would indicate a way to identify improved student performance.

 Should meet at least two SPs to be considered effective, highly effective or the equivalent for the SP Summary Rating.  Meeting only one SP may indicate educator is developing or the equivalent for the SP Summary Rating.  Meeting no student performance expectations may indicate educator is ineffective in the area.  The Final Summative Rating can only be rated one performance level higher than the lowest summary rating.  When both summary ratings are the same, that rating becomes the Final Summative Rating.
