Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Classroom Teachers Provide Direct Instruction to students – Plan, Instruct and Assess Use Rating Form 82-1 http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/commun ity/educator_effectiveness_project/20903/p/1173845 At the local level, districts must categorize professionals under Teaching Professionals, Non- Teaching Professionals, or Principal Effectiveness Example: Guidance Counselors 3

4. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Transfers from One Building to Another If a teacher transfers from one building to another building within an LEA, they will have the option of using the teacher specific data in place of the Building Data (SPP) for two years starting on the date the teacher begins the new assignment. A teacher who elects this option shall sign a statement of agreement with the LEA giving the LEA permission to calculate their final rating in this manner. 4

5. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Temporary Professional Employee There must be 4 months between observations Final Rating Form (82-1) must be completed twice a year. BOTH final rating forms must include Teacher Specific Data and Elective Data. 5

6. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Teacher Specific Data Given the recent release of Educator Effectiveness FAQ, many LEAs have asked how they should go about meeting the legislative intent of the data defined in teacher specific. In order to support our districts, PDE worked with a group of diverse educators representing special education and general education to come up with some policy recommendations and guidance documents/resources on how LEAs can met the legislative intent of Act 82 while also making the process feasible for districts. 6

7. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Teacher Specific Data Implementation of Teacher Specific Data should be decided through a conversation with your district’s solicitor, bargaining unit, teachers, and administrators. PDE legal will not talk specifics beyond what is stated in Act 82 with this section of the pie because implementation of this piece is to be determined at the local level. 7

8. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Teacher Specific Data 15% Total – Data must be included if it is available and applicable 1. Student Performance (Advanced and Proficient) on state assessment – not more than 5% Conversion in Table H in the rules and regulations 2. PVAAS – at least 10% 3. Progress on meeting IEP goals – not more than 5% 4. Locally developed rubrics (LDR) – not more than 15% when none of the other measures are available – using SLO process; for teachers with PVAAS data available it is not more than 5% 8

9. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness SLO Process for IEP Progress SLO process for IEP Progress- a simple streamlined SLO process to account for the IEP progress. Per Act, any teacher with available and applicable IEP progress must have that data attributed (general education and special education teachers). This template will allow you to address the provisions of Act 82 by filling out a one page summary of the aggregated case load data for students 9

10. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness LDR – Locally Developed Rubrics – Defined in Rules and Regulations as LDR designed by the LEA or used from the elective data which includes the following: District designed measures and assessments Nationally recognized standardized tests Industry certification examinations Student project pursuant to local requirements Student portfolios pursuant to local requirements The SLO process must be used to develop your LDR. 10

11. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Scenarios Scenario One - If a teacher has PVAAS data available they have to use at least 10% from PVAAS and then they could have up to 5% from a combination of IEP, student achievement (P or A) or LDR. (Teachers make this decision) Example 1: – PVAAS 10% – IEP Goals 1% – Student Achievement 3% – LDR 1% Example 2: – PVAAS 12% – Student Achievement 2% – LDR 1% 11

12. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Scenarios without PVAAS If a teacher does not have PVAAS or any of the other data (IEP, or number Advanced or Proficient on a state assessment) available then they will have 15% LDR. – So, in the past we said that teachers that did not have PVAAS would have 35% from SLO. It is really still the same… Example 1: This could mean 1 SLO for all 35% (15% Teacher Specific and 20% Elective Data). Each part of the SLO will be weighted based on the section you will be applying the data and it will specifically state what section the data will fall under on the pie chart. (Ex: IEP targeted group) Example 2: This could mean 2 SLOs. One SLO for 15% under Teacher Specific and a different SLO for 20% under Elective Data. Example 3: This could also mean 3 or 4 SLOs as long as it is a total of 15% under Teacher Specific and 20% under Elective Data. Teachers decide how many SLOs they want to write to achieve their Teacher Specific Data Score. 12

13. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness How do I arrive at a score for 15% Teacher Specific Data? Districts will decide locally how to arrive at this final 0-3 score for Teacher Specific Data based on the conversion tables in the rules and regulations for PVAAS and Achievement Data in addition to their own local decisions around LDR and IEP Goal conversions. A Teacher Decision Making Guide will prompt LEAs to address all data defined in teacher specific data per Act 82 and provides a logical guidance document on how to address each component. 13

16. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness SLO Policy Decisions: The “n” count LEAs are encouraged to utilize a “n” count of 11 across teacher specific and elective data. This is consistent with the “n” count PDE utilizes for other data sources such as the SPP and PVAAS. In absence of teacher specific and elective data the observation and practice components of the evaluation system could be substituted. It is a local decision whether an LEA chooses to utilize a lower “n” count for teacher specific and elective data. Hence, an LEA could chose to develop a SLO for less than eleven students, if they believe that they can attribute student achievement to the teacher. An LEA should discuss any decision to use the “n” count of 11 or a lower “n” count with its solicitor.

24. Tom Corbett, Governor ▪ Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Acting Secretary of Educationwww.education.state.pa.us Measuring Educator Effectiveness Policy Decisions to consider… Has your district categorized all of your staff under contract under either teaching or non- teaching employees? Has your district discussed the “n” count and SLOs? How will this look in your district? Has you district discussed how teacher specific data will be calculated for each teacher in your district? Has your district discussed how the SLO Process will be used to measure IEP progress? 24
