A High Level of Collaboration A High Level of Collaboration among the teacher evaluation committee as well as the administrator evaluation committee. The union is part of both committees. We have recently formed a non-instructional evaluation committee and a there has been a similar collaborative culture

Teachscape We are ahead of the game and leaders with the training that we have been providing We are requiring all administrators that evaluate teachers to take the teachscape class and Test. Average about 20-30 practice hours on-line The assessment takes between 5-7 hours to complete Over 80 administrators have been through the training – We start our 3rd cohort this year

Teachscape Our current model is based on a the 2005 Danielson model which has been modified We are now planning to move to the 2013 Danielson model We are confident that this will be one of the state approved models We are also going to move to a full on-line evaluation tool via the Teachscape Reflection mode

Weighted Formula 75% will be based on Observation Protocol and the 5 Standards for Effective Teaching. This includes observations (formal and not formal), walkthroughs, other performance measures that are related to the teacher evaluation rubric which includes all 5 standards. Professional Responsibilities are included as one of the standards.

25% Growth Data 5% District growth based on state accountability measures 10% Building Growth 10% Classroom Growth

10% Building Growth Data Based on multiple measures which must include NWEA (reading, Language Usage, math and science), Explore, Plan, MME and State Accountability growth measures (when state data is made available).

10% Classroom Growth Data Based on NWEA for the specific subject area, State Assessments, Classroom Assessments, DRA, Performance or product measures, other formative assessments, pre and post tests (specific % proficient) are required.

5% District Growth Based on state accountability measures and other student growth measures available to the District. We will continue to monitor state progress in this area.

Proposed Legislation There are different bills being debated in Lansing We would have thought that they would have passed something by now since their initial deadline was April 2012 However, that has not occurred

Non instructional evaluations We have held committee meetings We are looking to get the evaluations in personnel files It will be a positive experience for most. Safe guards for employees that might not receive effective ratings and required written documentation Working in positive cooperation with the union.

Administrator Evaluation Still not sure what will happen here but it is possible that we will have to choose one of the state approved models. 3 models Marzano, Doug Reeves, and MASA model by Pat Reeves
