Educator Effectiveness System Overview Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Educator Effectiveness System Overview Understanding Hawaii’s Educator Effectiveness System This presentation is designed to be used with the EES Training 1 Presentation Handout dated 2013-07-12. The slide numbers will not match the handout, so the handout index should be used to navigate that document. Hello and welcome to today’s training, “Understanding Hawaii’s Educator Effectiveness System.” Introduce self: Name, organization, role, classroom experience, etc. Today, you will be introduced to basic information and concepts behind our state’s new Educator Effectiveness System, or EES. This session will provide you with an overview of the major EES measures for classroom teachers: The Hawaii Growth Model, Student Learning Objectives, Tripod Student Surveys, Classroom Observations, and Core Professionalism. http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Objectives for Today Understand the EES and which measures apply to classroom teachers Understand the Hawaii Growth Model and how to interpret Student Growth Percentile (SGP) reports Understand what Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are and how to complete the SLO process Understand the rationale for adopting Tripod student surveys and how to read Tripod reports Understand the Framework for Teaching and how it will be used to evaluate classroom observations and core professionalism Our objectives for today are to: read slide http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Why a new system? Historically, evaluation systems have not supported professional growth or improved effectiveness of all teachers The EES will provide data that supports school improvement and gives teachers tools to make their classroom practice more effective When done right, a teacher evaluation can help identify and encourage classroom practices that promote real student learning When teachers succeed, students succeed To accelerate our reforms, to sharpen the focus on student achievement To put all of our children on track to graduate and be prepared for success in their college/careers [read slide] http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Goals for EES Year 3 1. Utilize EES measures to provide meaningful and connected data to guide instructional improvement efforts of teachers and administrators 2. Continue to test and validate each EES measure and the process for determining final performance ratings 3. Continue to refine and review operational processes associated with each EES measure 4. Build capacity so that complex area staff, school administrators, and leadership teams can help teachers leverage EES data to improve student outcomes [read slide] http://doeohr.notlong.com

The EES Uses Multiple Measures Teacher Practice Student Growth and Learning Hawaii Growth Model Student Learning Objectives Classroom Observations Core Professionalism Tripod Student Survey Working Portfolio (non-classroom) Educator Effectiveness Data Components in focus: As you may be aware, Hawaii’s Educator Effectiveness system is comprised of 5 measures for classroom teachers: The Hawaii Growth Model, Student Learning Objectives, Tripod Student Surveys, Classroom Observations, and Core Professionalism. Since non-classroom teachers do not have classes that can be observed, they complete a working portfolio instead. The EES uses multiple measures to gage teacher effectiveness, creating a 360-degree picture of each classroom teacher’s performance based on student perspectives, teacher perspectives, administrative perspectives, and student achievement results. This approach is grounded in research about best practices for educator evaluation, like the Gates Family Foundation’s Measures of Effective Teaching study, and is being implemented in school districts and states across the country.

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Calculating Weighting Policy Input Teacher Subcommittees Teacher Leader Workgroup Other States Data Scenarios Recommendations Key Design Questions Discussion Policy Decisions Evaluation Structure Policy Manual The Hawaii State Department of Education has developed systems for collecting regular feedback from complex area leaders, teachers, and members of the community. These groups meet on the weekly, monthly, or quarterly to provide input on everything from current implementation strategies to key design elements. http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Common Core Shifts Improved Student Outcomes What We Teach (Common Core) How We Teach (Framework for Teaching) New Kinds of Data (SGP, Tripod, SLOs) Most of you have heard of the Common Core and have begun receiving PD on the new standards. The state is adopting CCSS over the next few years. These are research based standards being adopted across the country. Higher performance standards for practitioners at every level. New standards for principals, new standards for teaching and learning. Successful implementation of Common Core will bring about important instructional shifts – pushing teachers to go deeper into certain content and how teachers are instructing. Simply adopting new standards will not shift student learning. It is a more holistic approach – pushing ourselves to look at data more, to focus on not only what we teach, but how we teach. http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System EES Timeline Year 1 (SY 11/12) Planning, Design, Early Testing, Pilot Group 1 (18 Schools) Year 2 (SY 12/13) Further Design, Expanded Testing, Pilot Groups 1 and 2 (81 Schools) Year 3 (SY 13/14) Final Design, Statewide Scale-up (All Schools) Year 4 (SY 14/15) Full Implementation We are rolling out the Educator Effectiveness system over a 4 year period. In SY 2011/12, the state completed a pilot of 3 key components, across 18 schools in two complex areas, our Zones of Innovation. Last year, SY 2012/13, we expanded our design to 4 components, and piloted across an additional 63 schools to test our measures and processes. This year, we will scale-up statewide. All schools in Hawaii will be implementing the Educator Effectiveness System components and the final design of the model will be approved. Next year, SY 2014/15, will be the first year for full implementation of the model – where the Educator Effectiveness System becomes a high stakes system. http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Expectations for 2013 - 2014 Core Professionalism All teachers will document and submit evidence of their professionalism. Classroom Observations Each classroom teacher will receive 2 observations per year, 1x in fall and 1x in spring. Tripod Student Surveys Each classroom teacher will have students surveyed, 1x in fall and 1x in spring. Hawaii Growth Model Classroom teachers of tested grades/subjects will receive growth data for all of their students. Student Learning Objectives All teachers will complete 2 SLOs. Classroom teachers will select one to count for their evaluation. Read Slide http://doeohr.notlong.com

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System EES on PDE3 Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System The data warehouse as an interface between OHR, school administrators and teachers is on PDE3. This is a sample of the Educator Effectiveness tab which will house the information for each one of the EES components – observations, SGP, student surveys and SLOs. Teachers will receive reports as soon as they come available from administrator observations, student feedback and student outcomes. Within PDE3, teachers will be able to see annual rating data, as well as historical data about their performance. http://doeohr.notlong.com
