1. LCSD APPR: Overview Review and Focus on the 60 points December 3, 2012

2. AGENDA  Review of APPR Parts  Walk-through resource booklet and handouts  Instructional Shifts  Teaching Standards  Framework for Teaching Rubric  Gallery Walk notes from Spring 2012  The 60 points  Pre-Observation = Domain 1 – Planning and Prep (25%)  Observation = Domains 2 and 3 - Classroom Environment and Instruction (25% and 30%)  Post-Observation = Part of Domain 4 – Professional Responsibilities (20%)

3. NYS Reform Policies Common Core Learning Standards Data Informed Instruction Teacher/Leader Effectiveness ► Evaluators know and look for the content of CCLS during observations ►Leaders are knowledgeable and look for the ELA & math shifts during observation ►Leaders look for text-based questioning ►Leaders look for cognitive engagement, constructivist learning and 21 st century skills ►Interim assessments reflect CCLS ►Teacher and leaders analyze results within 48 hours ►An action planned is calendared to address CCLS weaknesses ►Leaders and teachers develop a culture around data ►State and local assessments are worth 40% of teacher evaluation ►Evidence based observation and documentation of meeting NYS teaching standards ►The goal of APPR is to improve instruction through a team approach and individualized, focused Professional Development School Change Increase College and Career Readiness

4. Instructional Shifts  http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-shifts/ http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-shifts/  http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-video- series http://engageny.org/resource/common-core-video- series  http://americaachieves.org http://americaachieves.org  Need to create a free account  Then look for link to common core page from home page  Consistent with rubric and best practices  Principals directed to look for these in practice

5. Annual Professional Performance Review 60 EBOP, etc. 20 - 25 Growth 20 - 15 Local 100

6. Composite Scores Standards for Rating Categories HEDI DefinitionsPoints Bands Highly Effective Overall performance and results exceed standards.91-100 Effective Overall performance and results meet standards.75-90 Developing Overall performance and results need improvement in order to meet standards. 65-74 Ineffective Overall performance and results do not meet standards.0-64

7. Multiple Measures 60 pts - Negotiated  Each teacher must be assessed for each NYS Teaching Standard every year.  A NYS-approved rubric must be used to assess teachers.  The rubric determines the criteria for Ineffective, Developing, Effective, and Highly Effective ratings.  Danielson Framework for Teaching, 2007

8. The Rubric  Framework for Teaching  4 Domains – need all  22 Components – need all  76 Elements – do not need all  Levels of Performance (Distinguished, Proficient, Basic, Unsatisfactory) One to one correspondence with (Highly Effective, Effective, Developing, Ineffective)

9. Observation of Practice  At least two, at least 20 minutes  One must be unannounced  Can invite observation  Can request full lesson observation  One must be announced, include pre and post observation conferences  Follow-up conversations for all observations within 10 school days  Both sign off on evidence collection document  Does not = agreement, just that meeting occurred

10. Observation of Practice  Teachers may submit videotaped lessons for observation  Observations may include photos or taping  Required observations completed by May 1 st

11. Other Evidence  If a component is not observed or addressed through observations and conferencing  Artifacts may serve as evidence – see potential evidence for domains chart  Collection of evidence – varies by building  Will present observation management software after break  My suggestion = think about Domain 4 Professional Responsibilities and identify needed evidence in Spring

12. Scoring  Summative conference between April 1 and end of the school year  Review of NYS Teaching Standards  Teacher may present evidence of unaddressed standards at summative conference  Observation and other evidence scores (1-4) will be averaged within Domains, then weighted for final score of1-4.
