Educator Effectiveness System Overview Training Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Educator Effectiveness System Overview Training This presentation is designed to be used with the EES Training 1 Presentation Handout dated 2012-11-29. 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”. My name is… and I am pleased to see you all here at today’s session. Today you will be introduced to basic information and concepts behind our state’s new Educator Effectiveness System. The session will provide you with an overview of various components: Tripod Student Surveys, Student Growth, and Student Learning Objectives.

Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Objectives for Today Overview & introduction to the EES Become familiar with what the differentiated cycles are for SY 15-16 Understand what Professional Development Plan and its purpose Learn about timelines related to EES components Understand how the overall rating for EES is calculated I want to be clear about the objectives today. The goal for today is to --Give you an introduction to the common language around the new EES system. --To help you become more familiar with the new types of data and tools that we will be using. --I know there are many questions surrounding the rating scales and the implications that may have on teachers. That is not what we will be discussing today, however, you will be getting a manual in your staff meeting which outlines those details. This is only an overview, your not expected to leave here an expert. By the end of today your brain will be full. There is a lot of information and you may feel overwhelmed. Teaching is a difficult job The intention behind this EES system is to paint a more complete picture of the work that teachers do. As we go through I will stop periodically so that you can write down your questions. Because we have such a large group, and there is so much information to cover, we will not be addressing questions as we go. However, I know there will be many questions that arise throughout. I have set up parking lots for each school around the room. There are post its on your tables that you can use to jot down your questions. If we have time at the end to address some questions, we may, If not, we will collect the questions and generate some FAQs so that your questions are addressed. IF you want me to get back to you specifically, you can put your lotus email and I will write specifically to you. Otherwise, we will generate a master FAQ list. There is also a list that the state has created based on questions they have received from pilot schools and others, which you can access on the ees weebly site. .

Teacher Classification Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Teacher Classification Classroom Observation Core Professionalism Hawaii Growth Model Student Learning Objective (SLO) Non Classroom Observation or Working Portfolio SLO or School Systems Improvement Objective (SSIO) Teachers who serve in multiple roles e.g. NCT and CT will work with his/her evaluator to determine the appropriate classification to follow. Teachers who primarily plan, deliver and assess instruction for students should generally be classified as a classroom teacher. http://doeohr.notlong.com

Educator Effectiveness Data Multiple Measures Hawaii Growth Model Observation / Working Portfolio Educator Effectiveness Data Improved Student Outcomes

EES Measures & Weighting Classroom Teacher Beginning/New & Non-Classroom Teachers Student Growth & Learning Teacher Practice Teacher MGP Available: 1 SLO (25%) Teacher MGP (25%)   1 SLO or SSIO (50%) if there’s no SGP available   No Teacher MGP but School-Wide ELA MGP Available: 1 SLOs (45%) School-wide MGP (5%)   School-Wide ELA MGP Available: 1 SLOs (50%) School-wide MGP (5%)   (Manual p. 32) Under the EES, final teacher ratings for each measure will be combined into a rating for teacher practice and for student growth and learning. Within PDE3, teachers will be able to see annual rating data, as well as historical data about their performance. Scores for teacher practice and for student growth and learning will be determined by calculating a weighted average based on weightings for each EES measure. The weighting of each measure will vary depending on each teacher’s classification and the data available from that evaluation year. This chart shows the distinctions between classroom teachers, NCTs and beginning teachers. This difference can be easily summarized by answering the question “Which data are available per role?” If classroom teachers of tested subjects (ELA and mathematics) grades 4-8 have student growth data available then these data will be included at 25% in the student growth and learning component of their evaluation. Classroom teachers who do not have growth data will receive the School-Wide ELA MGP for this component at 5% and 45% for SLOs. NCTs at the school level will also have the School-Wide ELA MGP for this component at 5% of their evaluation score and 45% for SLOs. Both teacher types will have core professionalism at 20% and classroom observations at 30%. NCTs have the option of choosing between observations and working portfolios.

Final Effectiveness Ratings Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Final Effectiveness Ratings Highly Effective Demonstrates excellence in teacher practice and student/system outcomes that exceed expectations. Effective Demonstrates excellence in teacher practice and student/system outcomes that meet expectations. Marginal Needs improvement to demonstrate effective teacher practice and student/system outcomes. Unsatisfactory Does not show evidence of effective teacher practice or expected student/system outcomes The final effectiveness rating represents the combined performance on multiple measures e.g. core professionalism, observations, SLO, Hawaii Growth Model. Listed are the expectations for school year 13-14 http://doeohr.notlong.com

Differentiating EES for SY 15-16 Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Differentiating EES for SY 15-16 Comprehensive Evaluations Enhanced Standard Streamlined Non Tenured Teachers Teachers rated as less than effective Tenured teachers rated effective or Highly effective Every teacher will receive an annual performance rating based on a Comprehensive Evaluation. Teachers will generally fall into one of the following two categories: Non‐tenured teachers and teachers rated as less than effective participate in an Enhanced Comprehensive Evaluation on an annual basis. Tenured teachers who received a rating of effective or better in the previous year’s evaluation participate in alternating years of a Standard Evaluation and a Streamlined Evaluation. During the year in which tenured teachers participate in a Streamlined Evaluation, their previous year’s final rating can be carried-over. If a tenured teacher does not have a final EES rating from the previous year, the teacher will participate in a Standard Evaluation (i.e. teachers that were on leave, finishing PEP‐T, or other special circumstances).

Expectations for SY 2015-2016 for ENHANCED Cycle CLASSROOM Teacher Understanding Hawaii's Educator Effectiveness System Expectations for SY 2015-2016 for ENHANCED Cycle CLASSROOM Teacher Classroom Observations Teachers will participate in two observation cycles or more. One in fall and one in spring. Core Professionalism Document and submit Domain 4 components of the Danielson Framework for Teaching evidence and reflect on the Tripod survey results (Gr. 3-12). Classroom teachers for grades 3-12 will participate in the Roster Verification process in the fall. Hawaii Growth Model Classroom teachers for grades 4-8 in tested subjects will participate in the Roster Verification process in the spring and receive growth data for their students. Beginning Teachers will not receive SGP data due to the one year data lag. Student Learning Objectives Teachers will complete one SLO using the template and record sheet. -Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) -Principal Directed Professional Development Plan (PDPDP) Evaluator and teacher plan target areas and identify goals of improvement. The PDPDP must be developed within the first 30 days of school year. Manual p. 5-7 http://doeohr.notlong.com

Evaluation Cycle Implementation Timeline 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Group A Streamlined Standard Group B Non Tenured teachers and tenured teacher rated as less than effective will be on an ANNUAL ENHANCED Comprehensive evaluation Tenured teachers rated as effective or better will participate in an alternating schedule of Standard Comprehensive and Streamlined Comprehensive evaluation OFFICE OF HUMAN RESOURCES will publish a schedule related to Group A & B participants. Teachers who carried over Highly Effective ratings in 2014-2015 will be on a Streamlined Evaluation in 2015-2016. If a tenured teacher does not have a final EES rating from 2014-2015, they will participate in a Standard Evaluation in 2015--2016 (i.e. teachers that were on leave, finishing PEP-T or other special circumstances in 2014-2015).
