EVALUATION GOALS – RIGOR AND HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION

Evaluations That Help Teachers Learn by Charlotte Danielson Educational Leadership – December 2010 ASCD  The Law - Public schools funded by public money = Public has the right to expect high quality teaching.  To ensure teacher quality = Answer the question “Everyone here is good – here is how I know”.  To promote professional development Why Do We Evaluate Teachers?

Alaska School Leadership Institute; May 2014; Al Bertani, Senior Design Consultant Statutes indicate that evaluation and improvement of performance are the focus of educator evaluation AS (a)  Regulations indicate that an evaluation must provide information and analysis that:  Help the educator grow professionally  Improve the effectiveness of instruction  Relate to the future employment of the educator 4 AAC (a) Alaska Statute

Alaska School Leadership Institute; May 2014; Al Bertani, Senior Design Consultant By July 15, 2015 A district will build an evaluation system to determine whether an educator’s overall performance is exemplary, proficient, basic, or unsatisfactory. A district shall include student learning data in teacher and administrator’s overall rating according to the following schedule: –SY 2015 ‐ 16 & SY 2016 ‐ 17, at least 20% –SY 2017 ‐ 18 at least 35% –SY 2018 ‐ 19 and after, at least 50% A district may not give an educator an overall performance rating of proficient or higher if the educator has been evaluated to be performing at a level of basic or lower on one or more of the content standards or other criteria for which evaluation is required. Alaska’s Legal Requirements

Approaches to Evaluating Teacher Effectiveness – June 2008 Goe, Bell, and Little National Comprehensive Center on Teacher Quality 1.have high expectations for all students and help students learn, as measured by value-added or other test-based growth measures, or by alternative measures. 2.contribute to positive academic, attitudinal, and social outcomes for students such as regular attendance, on-time promotion to the next grade, self-efficacy, and cooperative behavior. 3.use diverse resources to plan and structure engaging learning opportunities; monitor student progress formatively; adapting instruction as needed; and evaluate learning using multiple sources of evidence 4.contribute to the development of classrooms and schools that value diversity and civic-mindedness 5.collaborat e with other teachers, administrators, parents, and education professionals to ensure student success, particularly the success of students with special needs and those at high risk of failure.

SELECTING MEASURES

Learning about Teaching – Initial Findings from the MET Project Published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation 2010 If we want to change the curve of improvement, we must…  Identify great teachers  Find out what makes them so effective  Transfer those skills to others A new approach to development and evaluation that teachers endorse and that helps all teachers improve. Strategies of the Gates Foundation MET Study

Learning about Teaching – Initial Findings from the MET Project Published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation 2010 Gates Foundation MET Study

Learning about Teaching – Initial Findings from the MET Project Published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation In every grade and subject studied, a teacher’s past successes in raising student achievement on state tests is one of the strongest predictors of his/her ability to do it again. 2.Teachers with the highest value-added scores on state tests also tend to help students develop a deeper conceptual understanding as well. 3.The average student knows effective teaching when he/she experiences it. 4.Valid feedback need not be limited to test scores alone. Gates MET Study Findings – Phase 1

MET Project Ensuring Fair and Reliable Measures of Effective Teaching January Effective teaching can be measured. Teachers previously identified as more effective caused students to learn more. Groups of teachers identified as less effective caused students to learn less. Major Research Findings Phase 2 2.Balanced weights indicate multiple aspects of effective teaching. Teaching is too complex for any single measure of performance to capture it accurately. Trade off’s to using different models. 3.Adding a second observer increases reliability significantly more than having the same observer score an additional lesson. Adding outside observers can provide an on-going check against in- school bias.

Learning about Teaching – Initial Findings from the MET Project Published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation 2010 Measure 1Student achievement gains on different assessments. Measure 2Classroom observations and teacher reflections. Measure 3Teacher pedagogical content knowledge. Measure 4Student perceptions of the classroom instructional environment. Measure 5Teacher perceptions of working conditions and instructional support at their school. Data Collected-Gates Foundation MET Study

MET Project Ensuring Fair and Reliable Measures of Effective Teaching January 2013 Lesson 1Student perception surveys and classroom observations can provide meaningful feedback to teachers. Lesson 2Implementing specific procedures in evaluation systems can increase trust in the data and the results. Lesson 3Each measure adds something of value. Lesson 4A balanced approach is most sensible when assigning weights to form a composite measure. Lesson 5There is great potential in using video for teacher feedback and for the training and assessment of observers. What We Know Now

Alaska’s Evaluation Areas… What measures will make up the components of the evaluation system?

STRUCTURING THE EVALUATION SYSTEM

The Mind Shift in Teacher Evaluation: Where We Stand – and Where We Need to Go; Angela Minnici; American Educator; Spring 2014 (Published April 8, 2014) 1.Identify two partners in the room – people beyond your usual district or home group. 2.Find a location in the room to sit down. 3.Use the Think It Through strategy to read the article over the next 30 minutes. Decide how far you will read as a group Read to the chosen stopping point Fill-in your Think It Through chart Share-discuss your chart Continue reading until you finish The Mind Shift in Teacher Evaluation

The Mind Shift in Teacher Evaluation: Where We Stand – and Where We Need to Go; Angela Minnici; American Educator; Spring 2014 (Published April 8, 2014) THE MIND SHIFT IN TEACHER EVALUATION What I Got…What I Question…Something to Think About…

The Mind Shift in Teacher Evaluation: Where We Stand – and Where We Need to Go; Angela Minnici; American Educator; Spring 2014 (Published April 8, 2014) The Mind Shift in Teacher Evaluation Common Missteps to Avoid  Thinking teacher evaluation alone is the silver bullet.  Inadvertently decoupling teacher evaluation from professional learning.  Excluding educators from the work  Dismissing the importance of building trust.  Failing to communicate frequently.  Communicating the wrong message.  Underestimating time and resources.  Not connecting the dots.  Going it alone.  Relying on principals to do all of the work.

Evaluations That Help Teachers Learn by Charlotte Danielson Educational Leadership – December 2010 ASCD “Before, I had no idea what my principal was looking for – I had to be a mind reader! So I just played it safe, taught a familiar lesson, one I knew would go well – but did the process improve my teaching? Not at all! In my old school, the principal just came in with a checklist, but we never really talked. But this time, we had a great conversation about how to help my students want to write. It really made me think. As a result, I’ve got a new approach: I’m going to engage some students around the things they’re passionate about and have them try to convince their classmates about the value of such interests.” Evaluations That Help Teachers Learn
