7. Component Five Ratings  Exceeds  Satisfactory  Unsatisfactory

8. Overall Performance Levels  Overall Summative Ratings Highly Effective Effective Needs Improvement Ineffective

9. Summative Ratings Chart

10. Measure A Growth Targets  Student growth targets are determined based on the average growth made by “similar” students over the past three years of state testing data.  Similar students are defined as those who had: Similar fall DCAS instructional scores; and The same grade and subject; and The same SWD, ELL, SWD/ELL designation  Students have two opportunities in the spring to take the DCAS. The DCAS vendor, American Institutes for Research (AIR), uses the higher of the two scores for those students. *Student Growth Targets will be provided by the DDOE.

11. Determination of Growth

12. Measure B and C Growth Targets  How will Measure B and Measure C Growth Targets be set? Based on professional conversations between the administrator and educator Agree upon measures used Agree upon a “satisfactory” target and an “exceeds” target  Growth Targets will not be provided by the DDOE.

13. Component Five Process

14. Process Step 1: Self Reflection and Educator Group Selection Step 2: Roster Identification and Measure(s) Selection Step 3: Analysis, Target/Goal Setting, Fall Conference Step 4: Observation(s), Formative Feedback, Spring Conference Step 5: Summative Evaluation
