1. Teacher Professional Growth and Effectiveness System Overview
Boone County Schools
Intro is meant to inform on the process for next year, how all pieces fit together for an evaluation of job performance, and then a focus on the Danielson Framework. This framework is the basis of the “Professional Practice” half of TPGES.

2. Today’s Agenda Overview and Timeline of 2013-2014 Pilot
Full Implementation
Dig into the Framework
Self-Reflection
First 2 are in the intro, last 2 are led by the pilot teachers in the afternoon.

3. Boone County Implementation Timeline

4. Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
– Statewide pilot in each district
– Statewide implementation without consequences (no use of the system for personnel decisions)
Statewide Pilot of Other Professionals
– Statewide implementation with consequences (use the system to make personnel decisions)
Summary—this year was a pilot for a few, next year is a trial run for everyone in addition to the old evaluation system, and is live

5. The top half contains all parts of TPGES except Student Growth, including: Observation, Student Voice Survey, Professional Growth Plans, Self Reflections, and Conferences/Conversations. Some of the details here are still to be worked out and negotiated, but SGGs are a significant piece of evaluation and is still evolving—different than what the pilot teachers did. We will begin working on SGGs Friday in ILTs and continue in the fall.

6. The table on the left resolves any differences in performance levels on the Professional Practice Rating, and the table on the right is how the Overall PGES score is determined based on Professional Practice rating and Student Growth.

7. Time to Talk and Reflect: Thoughts? Things to Share? Questions?
Share thoughts, questions at tables and then share out with the group

8. The Pilot Teachers’ Path
Early Fall:
Self-Reflections on 22 Components
Professional Growth Goal and Student Growth Goal
Late Fall:
First 2 Mini-Observations
Winter:
Peer Mini-Observation
Spring:
Full Observation
Student Voice Survey
Should look the same next year, but no definite dates set as of yet.
Bulk of teacher work is early, and reflections will likely be first piece to complete (maybe within first month).
Stress that 22 reflections need to be complete by the start of school.

9. Our Focus Today: Self-Reflection and the Danielson Framework
22 Components, and one self-reflection for each
Complete in Word, transfer to CIITS later
Must understand the Framework, and this is time-consuming
Not just a task…
Reflect on domains 1 through 4 (not 5).
Don’t put anything into CIITS until told to do so (at least mid-July, maybe later).
Digging into the Framework is time consuming, individual reflections take time and process speeds up as you go.
Heard from many that the time taken to reflect has been very valuable and led to some changes—supposed to lead directly into Professional Growth Goal.

10. Review of Framework Organization
Planning & Preparation
Classroom Environment
Instruction
Professional Responsibilities
Student Growth
As a review, the Kentucky Framework is composed of 5 domains. Planning & Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction, Professional Responsibilities and Student Growth. The first 4 domains represent the Charlotte Danielson framework.
This work is research based and has been determined to be valid and reliable.
The last domain is what Kentucky has added - Student Growth. Student Growth is included in Kentucky’s waiver for the No Child Left Behind. The student growth component is currently being reviewed by a number of different subcommittees with teacher representation who will make recommendations, along with the field test group, to the steering committee and KDE on the implementation process.
Each domain is broken down into its important components. There are a total of 23 components in the Framework.

11. Multiple Measures/Framework for Teaching Alignment
Here is how the pieces of TPGES fit into the domains of the framework. Note that Domains 1 and 4 come primarily from reflection and conference conversations. Domains 2 and 3 add evidence from observation and the student voice survey.

12. Domain 5: Student Growth
This slide outlines each of the domains and their related components. Our work today will be to overview the 4 teaching domains and prepare/write reflections. For those that have completed reflections this will serve as a refresher and a revisit of your reflections, but also think about one component you would like to work on for your Professional Growth Goal that will most impact student learning in your classroom.
