5. 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

6. 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 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

7. 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

9. 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.

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

11. 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).

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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

15. 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.

16. 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.
