Introduction to Teacher Evaluation August 23, 2016

Purpose of Session To Introduce New Certified Staff to the Waterbury Teacher Evaluation Plan

About the Development of the Waterbury Plan Developed in Spring 2013 by Professional Development Committee Implemented in 2013-14 School Year Revised in Spring 2014 Compliant with Guidelines Approved by the CT State Board of Education Modification of the State’s SEED Model Plan Committee has both teacher and administrator representation. IT’S ONLY BEEN IN EFFECT ONE YEAR. IT IS APPROVED AND COMPLIANT. IT IS SIMILAR TO OTHER CT PLANS

PURPOSE OF TEACHER EVALUATION The purpose of the evaluation model is to fairly and accurately evaluate teacher performance and to help each teacher strengthen his/her practice to improve student learning.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES Consider multiple, standards-based measures of performance
 Minimize the variance between school leaders’ evaluations of teacher practice and support fairness and consistency within and across schools  Foster dialogue about student learning
  Encourage aligned professional development, coaching and feedback to support teacher growth 


Multiple Measures of Teacher Performance Teacher Practice (50%) Observation of teacher practice and performance (40%) Stakeholder (parent) feedback (10%) Student Outcomes (50%) Student Growth and Development (45%) Whole School Learning (5%) in the absence of SPI, all 50% will be in the above category.

Timeline for Teacher Evaluation Activities By October 31 January-February By June 1 Orientation to Process Teacher Reflection Goal Setting Conference Review goals and progress Mid Year Conference Self –Assessment Final Conference Rating

Ratings 4 Exemplary – Substantially exceeding indicators of performance 3 Proficient – Meeting indicators of performance
 2 Developing – Meeting some indicators of performance but not others   1 Below Standard – Not meeting indicators of performance

Evaluators In most cases, your principal or assistant will be your prime evaluator Evaluators have received training and practice in the evaluation program

Multiple Measures of Teacher Performance Teacher Practice (50%) Observation of teacher practice and performance (40%) Stakeholder (parent) feedback (10%) Student Outcomes (50%) Student Growth and Development (45%) Whole School Learning (5%) in the absence of SPI, all 50% will be in the above category.

Observation of Practice-40% Teachers in 1st/2nd year of service to District receive at least 3 formal observations and 3 informal observations. Formal observations include a pre-conference and last at least 30 minutes. All observations are followed up with feedback(conference/written). Evaluators provide ratings on observed indicators for formative purposes. The CCT Rubric for Effective Teaching 2014 is the basis for evaluating the data/evidence. At least is key; after first two years, rating will determine how many observations. Pre-conference-forms available on website to guide the planning and discussion—5 day notice for scheduling pre-conference; post conference should be within 5 days.

Reviews of Practice (non-observational) Evidence of practice also gathered through non-observational opportunities such as: reviews of plans reviews of assessments data team meetings PLC’s call logs etc.

Rating the Observation of Practice The evaluator holistically evaluates all evidence relating to each of the 12 CCT indicators and assigns a score of 1-4 for each. The evaluator averages the scores within each domain to the nearest tenth for an overall domain score from 1-4 Evaluator averages domains for an overall practice rating. (technology provides assistance with these calculations)

Performance and Practice Goal Each teacher also sets a mutually agreeable performance/practice goal each year. The goal is not rated discretely, but rather contributes to the overall evidence collected. The goal provides a focus for growth for the teacher.

Multiple Measures of Teacher Performance Teacher Practice (50%) Observation of teacher practice and performance (40%) Stakeholder (parent) feedback (10%) Student Outcomes (50%) Student Growth and Development (45%) Whole School Learning (5%) in the absence of SPI, all 50% will be in the above category.

Stakeholder Feedback Each school administers a parent survey. The principal selects an improvement target for the school. Each teacher identifies strategies to help meet target. Each teacher is rated (1-4) as to how successfully the strategies were implemented

Student Growth Through SLOs Connecticut has selected a goal-setting process called Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) as the approach for targeting student growth during the school year. 
SLOs are specific and measureable targets. The measurement of SLOs is done through Indicators of Academic Growth and Development (IAGDs). An IAGD is a measure used to determine SLO attainment.

The “How To” of an SLO Step 1: Learn about this year’s students (prior grades, end of year tests, benchmark assessments) Step 2: Set objectives for student learning (SLOs) and determine measurement indicators (IAGDs) Step 3: Develop and implement strategies to meet targets Step 4: Monitor students’ progress and adjust strategies as needed Step 5: Assess student learning through pre-determined indicators

Steps for Developing and Implementing Student Learning Objectives Learn about students Set learning objectives (SLO) and measures (IAGD) Implement strategies for growth and development Monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed Assess student growth and development through IAGDs

SLO Requirements Each teacher will write two SLOs. Teachers whose students take a standardized assessment will create one SLO based on standardized indicators and one SLO based on a minimum of one non‐standardized indicator. All other teachers will develop their two SLOs based on non‐standardized indicators.

Definition of Standardized Indicators Administered and scored in a consistent – or “standard” – manner; Aligned to a set of academic or performance “standards;”
 Broadly‐administered (e.g., nation‐or statewide);
 Commercially‐produced; and Often administered only once a year, although some standardized assessments are administered two or three times per year.

Sample SLOs Standardized Advanced Placement Chemistry An increased percent of students will earn credit in my advanced placement chemistry course. (SLO) At least 80% of the students enrolled in advanced placement chemistry will take the AP exam and score a 3 or better. (IAGD)

Sample SLO-Non Standardized Indicators High School Visual Arts My students will demonstrate proficiency in applying the five principles of drawing. (SLO) 85% of students will attain a 3 or 4 in at least 4 of 5 categories on the principles of drawing rubric designed by visual arts teachers in our district. (IAGD)

SLO Approval Criteria Priority of Content Quality of Indicators Rigor of Objective/Indicator Objective is deeply relevant to teacher’s assignment and addresses a large proportion of his/her students. Indicators provide specific, measurable evidence. The indicators provide evidence about students’ progress over the school year or semester during which they are with the teacher. Objective and indicator(s) are attainable but ambitious and taken together, represent at least a year’s worth of growth for students (or appropriate growth for a shorter interval of instruction).

Rating SLOs

Multiple Measures of Teacher Performance Teacher Practice (50%) Observation of teacher practice and performance (40%) Stakeholder (parent) feedback (10%) Student Outcomes (50%) Student Growth and Development (45%) Whole School Learning (5%) in the absence of SPI, all 50% will be in the above category.

Whole School Learning Indicator-5% The whole school learning indicator is a measure of success of the entire school. It is based on an index known as the SPI (School Performance Index). Because state testing in spring 2014 was focused on piloting of the SBAC and no reportable results will be received, schools will not have an SPI for 2014. For the 2014-15 year, the student outcome portion of teacher evaluation will be based entirely on the SLOs.

Summative Rating Summative Rating Rating on Observation of Teacher Practice 40% Stakeholder Feedback Rating 10% Student Growth and Development Rating 45% or 50% if SPI Not Available Whole School Learning Rating 5% if available
