Session Objectives Decode the Teacher Summative Evaluation form, including the Student Achievement Measures, so it can be used to give teachers feedback. Practice giving actionable feedback to teachers in different situations on their Summative Evaluation. Receive pointers on giving actionable feedback to teachers on their Summative Evaluation
District and Charter Plans Each District and Charter School selected their Student Achievement Measures and their Multiple Measures for in Summer Student Achievement Measures Choices SBA or EOC or Both Multiple Measures Choices Domain AND: Student Survey, Parent Survey, or Teacher Attendance
Turn to page 4 in your workbook – the example summative report As we go through the components of the report, highlight, mark- up, make notes, etc. about the different areas and what they mean This will act as a guide for the feedback activity later

What Are Student Achievement Measures (STAM)? STAM can account for up to 50% of the teacher evaluation score It is a measure of how far a student has progressed in their learning over time Examples of STAM DIBELS Developmental Reading Assessment SBA (PARCC in 2016) ACCESS MAP Interim Assessment Riverside Interim Assessment
What Are Student Achievement Measures (STAM)? Student achievement growth is the most reliable measure of the impact an individual teacher has on students. STAM are used in calculating Value Added Model (VAM) scores
VAS and PARCC The data used to calculate VAS is based on scores from the three prior years of instruction VAS will use scores from 2014, 2013 and VAS will use scores from 2015, 2014 and 2013 PARCC data will not be used in calculating scores until spring of
What does Value Added mean? Value added models use each student’s individual prior performance to form expected achievement that is compared to actual achievement.
VAM vs. VAS The Value Added Model (VAM) is the method used to calculate the Value Added Score (VAS).
The same students’ scores are averaged for three years.
