6. Assessments changes
It is no longer required to use a 3rd party assessment for 6-8 social studies and science
“Individual teacher developed” assessments are not permitted
All assessments, including State assessments, are permitted for the “2nd 20%” or local assessment portion of the APPR, but they must be used differently (a different metric)
Emma Klimek 2012

7. Other
It is not permissible to use “school wide/group or department wide” for 6-8 science or social studies or any course in the high school with a Regents.
Classroom observations must be at least 31 out of 60 points; previously it was 40 out of 60 points
Emma Klimek 2012

8. Other information
For the 2nd 20 percent group/team/school wide measures may use third party assessments or a district/BOCES/regional assessment unlike the 1st 20%
The growth percentile that the state provides may be combined across grades and subjects for the teacher and principal.
Student population for SLOs are set on BEDS day
Emma Klimek 2012

9. A third party assessment that is not on the SED approved list may not be used for the purpose of APPR even if a District is willing to certify to its comparability and rigor
Emma Klimek 2012

10. Attendance
You may NOT use attendance as a factor in your SLO. All enrolled students must be included in the calculation. All students in the course sections subject to an SLO must be included in the SLO. Students may not be excluded from a course they are enrolled in based on poor attendance (this applies to both State Growth and locally-selected measures).

13. Activity 1: Examine examples
There are 5 examples of SLOs
Spanish exemplar
One reading specialists
One Special Education
One grade 1 math
9th grade Social Studies Rubric
Please complete the reflection guide for two samples at each table

14. Measurement Options
Emma Klimek 2012

15. Measurement Options for Assessments
Raw Score
Assumes that the pre test and the post test have a relatively equal distribution of item difficulty
Easy to calculate
Scale Score/Percentiles/Stanines
Not an equal interval unit
Does not lend itself to arithmetic operations
Can use as a target point
Percentages
Assumes that the pre and post assessments are comparable
Emma Klimek 2012

16. Measurement options for Assessment
Cut points/benchmarks/levels of proficiency
Should be research based
May need to identify these points

DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency grade 1 to DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency grade 2
Score at end of grade 1 = 35 words per minute
Score at end of grade 2 = 90 words per minute
District/Regional/BOCES developed assessment for Social Studies grade 7 and 8
Social Studies Grade 7 = 45 raw score points (from short answer and DBQ rubrics etc.)
Social Studies Grade 8 = 65 raw score points

23. Practice on Metrics
Emma Klimek 2012

24. Practice on Converting to HEDI and 0-20
Locate the practice sheet “Measurement 1 Problem”
At your tables discuss where you might begin to solve this problem
The group will solve this problem together
Emma Klimek 2012

25. Activity: Scaling a Metric
Grades 1 and 2 use Percentile Metric for measuring math (use handout “Grade 1 scores”)
Determine the targets
Determine the HEDI criteria for grade 2
Determine the 0-20 points for grade 2
Use HEDI scoring sheet
Emma Klimek 2012

26. Activity: Scaling a Metric
Grades 6 and 7 use a “percent correct” assessment for social studies
Here are the scores for grades 6:
Student 1= 55 Student 2=65 Student 3=74
Student 4= 72 Student 5=77 Student 6=82
Student 7=77 Student 8=88 Student 9=84
Student Student 11=76 Student 12=89
Student 13=92 Student 14=83 Student 15= 86
Student 16= 73 Student 17= 94 Student 18=99
Student 19=81 Student 20= 87 Student 21=77
Determine a target
Determine HEDI and 0-21 scoring for grade 7 target
Use HEDI scoring sheet

How can you use the same assessments in a different way?
What are the ways to measure student achievement”
Growth
Individual student growth
Group growth
Status
Percent achieving a certain status
Mean or median group calculation
Emma Klimek 2012

29. Activity: Different ways to measure student achievement
As a table, construct a scenario where individual student growth is measured
As a table, construct a scenario where group growth is measured
Use Science 8 to Living Environment

30. Planning Chart
Emma Klimek 2012

31. Where do I start? Planning chart
Determine the groups you have (teacher assignment groups)
Then complete district assessment inventory chart so that you can determine which assessments you need and/or purchase or develop
Determine the metrics to be used
Then analyze HISTORIC data so that rigorous but achievable targets are set
Determine HEDI
Determine 0-20
Consider what to propose for the “second 20%”

33. TLS Evidence Rubric Element 2
Emma Klimek 2012

34. Evidence is a Factual Reporting of Events Element 2
It includes teacher and student actions and/or behaviors
Teacher presented the content from the front of room.
It includes statements made and questions posed by the teacher and the students
“Bring your white boards, markers and erasers to the carpet and sit on your square.”
It includes artifacts prepared by the teacher, students, or others.
Task cards, journals, lesson plans, etc.]
It includes quantifiable information about time, student participation, resource use, etc.
9:14 – 9:29- Warm-up. 8 of 22 Ss finished at 9:20, sat still until 9:29
It includes an observed aspect of the environment
Desks were arranged in groups of four
Emma Klimek 2012

35. Rubric Priorities: Part I Element 4
All rubrics have priorities – the foundational concepts upon which the criteria are built
Understanding the priorities of the approved rubric to evaluate teacher practice is essential to the observation process.
Review the Priorities of NYSED Approved Rubrics document
What are the priorities of the rubric chosen by your district?
