Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education How have you seen the Framework for Leadership being used to increase principal/leader effectiveness? What processes have you seen or heard about that are being used to effectively integrate the Framework for Leadership? How has the Framework for Leadership helped you to be more effective?

4. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Multiple Measures Principal Effectiveness Ratings as Defined in Act 82 Form 82-2 available on CIU 20 Website Form 82-2 available on CIU 20 Website For the overall principal effectiveness rating, we know that… –50% will comprise the observation/practice piece (Framework for Leadership). –15% will be derived from building level data (School Performance Profile – SPP). –15% will be determined by the relative strength of conversation regarding the connectedness between average teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures. –20% will incorporate Elective Data / SLOs for principals. (note: for 2014-15, elective data is optional) 4

7. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education It was recommended that we adopt a process that focuses on the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader based on the principal’s knowledge, understanding and intended use of the evidence / data presented. The rating for correlation data is based on a qualitative assessment by the supervising administrator of the level of understanding (0, 1, 2, or 3) of the quantitative analysis conducted by the principal / school leader. Correlation Data Based Upon Teacher Level Measures 7

8. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Performance Level Descriptor “Walk” Look at the “Performance Level Descriptor Chart” in your packet. What are your “Noticings?” Familiarize yourself with the definitions of the Performance Level Descriptors. How is this an integral part of the “Correlation Conversation?

9. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education To aid the supervising administrator in assigning a correlation rating (0, 1, 2, or 3), a Performance Level Descriptor Chart has been developed. This chart will provide guidance for rating the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader regarding the connectedness between Teacher Level Measures and Observation and Practice (Framework for Teaching) ratings. Teacher Level Measures “shall include, but not be limited to any combination of one or more of the following data” Building Level Data / SPP Teacher Specific Data (PVAAS, etc.) Elective Data / Teacher SLOs Correlation Data Based Upon Teacher Level Measures 9

10. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Correlation Data Performance Level Descriptor Chart The conversation will be measured based upon the principal /school leader’s understanding of these aspects: –Degree of understanding of evidence presented regarding the relationship between teacher-level measures and teacher observation and practice ratings. –Quality of explanation provided for observed relationships between teacher-level measures and teacher observation and practice ratings. –Plans for how the data will be used to support school and LEA goals. 10

11. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Correlation Data Looking at “Connectedness” The conversation will be based upon the connectedness between teacher level measures and observation/practice ratings. The following charts (displayed on subsequent slides) may be used to determine the relative strength of the connectedness between the teacher level measures and observation/practice (Framework for Teaching) ratings. Note: The ranges within the charts are based upon the conversion tables within PA 82-1 (Teacher Rating Tool). 11

15. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education WHY??? Why do you think Correlation Data/Relationship is a part of Principal Effectiveness? How does this affect the child in the classroom?

16. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Using the Guidance Document Example: ABC High School (Step #8) Based upon the conversation, the supervising administrator will assign a rating (0, 1, 2 or 3) relative to the principal/school leader’s knowledge, understanding and intended application of evidence/data presented. Referring back to the Performance Level Descriptor Chart, the supervising administrator (in collaboration with the principal), let’s consider the following for our example: –Degree  The principal / school leader demonstrates the ability to disaggregate teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures, as well as conducts an analysis to determine plausible connections among the data. 16

17. www.education.state.pa.us Measuring Principal Effectiveness Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Education Using the Guidance Document Example: ABC High School (Step #8) –Quality  The principal / school leader cites plausible causes for the connections among teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures. Also the principal / school leader articulates why the plausible connections may have occurred among teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures. –Plan  General plans for increasing student performance based upon the analysis of teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures have been provided. Opportunities exist to further define timelines and implementation strategies for the incorporation into a Principal SLO. Therefore, the correlation rating for this principal / school leader is a “2” based upon a general action plan as opposed to a plan that includes specificity. 17
