Compass: Module 2

Compass Requirements: Teachers’ Overall Evaluation Rating Student Growth Student Learning Targets (SLTs) Value-added Score (VAM) where available Professional Practice Measured by the Compass Teacher Rubric Minimum of TWO observations (one formal, announced; one informal) 1.00 – 1.491.50 – 2.492.50 – 3.493.50 – 4.00 IneffectiveEffective: Emerging Effective: Proficient Highly Effective

Compass focuses on supporting teachers, which will promote effective instruction and student achievement. Set Goals -For Educators -For Students Evaluate Performance -Student Growth -Prof. Practice Use Data to inform decision making Observation Feedback Support

4 Why is teacher observation important? Observations play a crucial role in any comprehensive teacher evaluation system. Through observation, we: Assess the extent to which students are reaching rigorous learning goals. Paint a fair and accurate picture of teachers’ instructional strengths and development areas in the classroom. How did the teacher contribute to student learning? How can the teacher maximize or improve his or her contribution to student learning? Feedback from observations will guide the teachers’ continuous professional growth.

5 Why is an observation rubric important? The observation rubric communicates a vision for instructional excellence. The Role of an Observation Rubric Communicates clear performance standards to teachers and evaluators that are aligned to the school or district’s instructional model and strategy Establishes a common language for conversations about instruction and for high-quality developmental feedback Ensures that evaluations result in accurate reflections of performance Applies to teachers in all subjects and grade levels

Louisiana’s Components of Effective Teaching reflect the highest-impact instructional skills : SETTING INSTRUCTIONAL OUTCOMES MANAGING CLASSROOM PROCEDURES USING QUESTIONING AND DISCUSSION TECHNIQUES ENGAGING STUDENTS IN LEARNING USING ASSESSMENT IN INSTRUCTION

Compass Teacher Observation Rubric Abridged version of Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Effective Teaching. Includes only the five components selected by LDOE and adopted by BESE. As a result: The rubric components include only the following: 1c- Setting Instructional Outcomes 2c Managing Classroom Procedures 3b Using Questioning/Prompts and Discussion 3c. Engaging Students in Learning 3d Using Assessment and Instruction

Each component in the Compass Teacher Rubric is described generally via elements and indicators…

…and more specifically via detailed descriptions, attributes, and examples for each performance level.

Looking at Highly Effective
13
12 Activity: What does it mean to be Highly Effective? 1.Individually, take 5 min. to read through all five components of the rubric. 2.In small groups, divide the components. In each group, make sure that at least one person is looking at one of the 5 components in depth. Pay close attention to the differences between Effective: Proficient and Highly Effective for your component. These indicators lead to significant academic gains. In your own words, summarize the performance you would expect to see from a Highly Effective teacher and how you would distinguish it from Effective: Proficient performance for this component. 3.In your group, go through each component and share the summaries of Highly Effective performance. Individual and small group activity

Rubric Review

15 Activity: Rubric Review – Text Rendering 1. Each table group explores one of the five components of the rubric. 2. Individually, take 5 minutes to Read and underline key words and phrases in the descriptors located in the Critical Attributes section of Effective: Proficient. 3. At your table, work with your group to list the key words on chart paper. 4. Groups will share charts with whole group. Individual and small group activity

16 Post- Conference Protocol Prioritize. Select one or two parts of the teacher’s practice most directly connected to student achievement. Present evidence. Identify the problem. The evaluator and teacher will work together to define a specific area of development. Plan concrete action. Develop clear, measurable steps the teacher can take to correct the problem. Set a timeline. Establish when and how the teacher will show that the action has been accomplished. Present evidence. Identify area to be developed.

Remember: Teacher Observations At least two observations per teacher per year with feedback that includes commendations and areas for improvement. -- At least one announced with a pre and post conference --The other may be unannounced with a post- conference Scores for each observation (no matter how many are conducted) will be totaled and averaged to arrive at the teacher’s final score for the year which will be 50% of the total score for the teacher (professional practice)
