7. Principal SGG-2014/15 Principals develop a Local and State Growth Goal at the beginning of the year. Goals will be revisited and strategies may be revised at mid- year and/or end of the year review. Principals will receive only local student growth data at the end of the year (1st year no state goal data). Conversations and feedback during the year helps ensure principals are progressing toward meeting the goal. The local SGG process/rubric will be used to determine H, E or L on local goal and that would give student growth rating for determining an overall rating. The following year, principals have two points: local and lagged state data. 7

8. PPGES Student Growth Goal Both Goals are inherited by the Assistant Principal At least one goal must be based on Gap Population The local goal may be developed to parallel the State Contribution

9. State Contribution (SGG) (E-M-H) Decreasing achievement gaps (E-M-H) (E-M-H) Increase average combined reading and math K-PREP scores (E-M-H) (M-H) Increasing percentage of College and Career Ready students (M-H) Increase average freshman graduation (M-H) rate(M-H) 9

Specific Measurable Appropriate Realistic but Rigorous Time Limited

14. Now that I have direction for STATE SGG Could I use that foundation to develop my LOCAL SGG?

15. The State Contribution is derived from Growth Goals developed around one of the interim targets housed in ASSIST. Local Goal – Based on School Need It may be developed to parallel the State Contribution or it may be developed with a different focus Based on Gap population unless State goal is based on Gap population. Do Your SGG Parallel?

16. If my State and Local SGG do parallel.  Why do I need to develop two SGG’s?  What might be some common elements of each plan?  How might the plans be different? 16

18. Get Ahead of the Curve Review the local data that you have collected  Many school specific data sources are housed in CIITS School and District Data. School Level Reports of local assessments can be generated here.  Don’t Overlook School evidence and documentation (example- Teacher SGG, Student Work, etc.)  Explore your school academic needs  What is a possible base line data source Let’s Do IT! Develop the Draft Local SGG

19. Sample: Local Growth Goal By May 2015 ABC Middle School will increase the percentage of 8 th grade math students meeting the benchmark on the MAP Testing from 55% Percent to 65%. Specific Measurable Appropriate Realistic but Rigorous Time Limited

22. Rating State & Local Goals For each Student Growth Goal the districts develops and details the process for determining high, expected, and low growth. This process/rubric is outlined in the District Certified Evaluation Plan (CEP). Let’s review our District CEP to develop a common understanding of the district decisions rules and/or rubrics to measure high, expected and low growth on each specific goal. 22

23. What Now? State and Local Goal Statements are written. A process/rubric for determining goal attainment has been reviewed. If time allows we will return to the development of the action plan after we have all goals developed. MOVING ON TO WCG 23

24. WCG: Organizing for Success TELL Data Survey Results Crosswalk Tell and Standards KVEC TELL Kentucky Working Condition Survey Tool or some method to organize the survey. Other relevant data sources 24

25. How will the WCG look in 2014-15? Last year’s PPGES pilot principals are entering the second year of a two-year WCG planning process. All other principals will develop a one-year WCG plan based on the 2013 TELL SURVEY. 25

26. WCG Basics The WCG development is a collaborative process between principal and superintendent/designee. Principals are responsible for setting a two-year Working Conditions Growth Goal based on the most recent TELL Kentucky Survey. The principal WCG is inherited by the assistant principal. * It is desirable that the assistant principal is an active participant in all goal development. 26

27. Principal Goal-Setting Process Step 1: Determine needs Step 2: Create specific growth goals based on baseline data Step 5: Determine goal attainment Step 3: Create and implement leadership and managem ent strategies Step 4: Monitor progress through on-going data collection 27

28. Two-year goal, continuing process Identify an area of growth Collaborate to create a goal, strategies and understand the rubric for goal attainment. Check progress at the end of the first year Modify strategies/actions if needed and continue with goal implementation Determine level of goal attainment 28

29. WCG Step by Step Review TELL Data Organize TELL Survey Question to determine an area of focus Select Survey Focus Question and Support Survey Questions Connect to the Principal Performance Standards Develop a WCG statement Develop a rubric to evaluate the WCG Develop the WCG Plan/Strategies Ongoing reflection on progress 29

30. Determining need: identify an area of growth Focus Survey Question Supporting Survey Question 30

31. Target Question(s) from TELL Kentucky Results: Q4.1 a. Parents/guardians are influential decision makers in this school. 52.2% agreement Q4.1 f. Parents/guardians support teachers, contributing to their success with students. 40% agreement Q4.1 g. Community members support teachers contributing to their success with students. 42.7% agreement Q4. 1h. The community we serve is supportive of this school. 50.4% agreement 31

32. Target Principal Performance Standard Performance Standard 5.7 provides a variety of opportunities for parent and family involvement in school activity. NOTE: This principal chose to expand the standard focus to involvement of parent/family in the academic success of the student. 32

33. Let’s Do it! Refer to your pre-planning data analysis or 1.Go to http://www.tellkentucky.org/http://www.tellkentucky.org/ 2.Click on survey results. Explore the reports available 3.View the short TELL KY video (optional) 4.As a group discuss the possible methods of organizing survey results to determine: Area of need Greatest focus for impact on student achievement Focus on areas where the principals has the great control 33

34. Activity: Connecting WCG To Student Achievement Purpose: To identify and agree upon a focus area for the WCG that has the potential to strongly impact student achievement. Materials/resources: You will need most recent TELL Survey Data (link or hard copy) Some method of organizing your school TELL Kentucky Data. Relevant data support sources VAL-ED survey results (if available) other school surveys anecdotal records etc. 34

35. Sample: WCG Statement By May 2015, I will provide a variety of opportunities for parents/guardians to participate in activities that contribute to the academic success of their child. A focus will be placed on how the parent can support teachers in academic areas. My success will be measured by an increase in agreement rate on TELL Survey Question 4.1 f. from the current 40% to 70%. 35

36. Your Turn Sample WCG By May 2015 I will ______________________________________________ (What changes will you implement based on TELL and support data?) My Success will be measured by an increase in agreement rate on __________TELL Question (s) List Q # From _____________ to ______________. Current Rate Goal Rate *This is a two year goal. How will you know if you are making progress toward meeting the target. Specific Measurable Appropriate Realistic but Rigorous Time Limited

37. Sample WCG rubric The rubric is established when setting the WCG Goal in collaboration with the superintendent. An accomplished result is the expected outcome from the goal. To achieve exemplary the goal must be exceeded. District decision rule for accomplished is a range from -5 points to goal. IneffectiveDevelopingAccomplishedExemplary 40% and below 41%-64%65%-70% 71% and above 37

38. Time out! Use your District Certified Evaluation Plan (CEP) to review district process and apply decision rules to goal rubric development. 38

39. On to the PGP Why did we leave the development of the PGP to last?

46. Using Multiple Sources of Evidence Self-Reflection What do I want to change about my practices that will effectively impact student learning? How can I develop a plan of action to address my professional learning? How will I know if I accomplished my objective? The principal/assistant principal should connect the PGP Goal to the appropriate performance standard. 46

47. Sample PGP Goal During the 2014-15 school year I will increase parental involvement in school sponsored academic focused events in an effort to communicate and obtain greater parent support for supporting their child’s reading and math achievement. Measures of my success can be determined by parent event’s agendas and sign in, school to home communication documentation, and teacher midpoint survey on TELL survey Q4.1 F. 47
