PAS… The Second & Third Observation Cycles

Learning Targets: Administrators will be able to: Understand and Articulate the remaining two Observation Cycles for both Probationary and High Cycle teachers Facilitate a mid-year discussion about Student Achievement Goals Use AHEP to complete PAS requirements

Wrapping up Tri 1 Responsibilities Task 1 - Make sure that all teachers have SAGs entered Task 2 -Complete Observation 1 forms (Form Ds) for all Probationary and High Cycle teachers Task 3 - Perform a repeat of Observation 1 for teachers who don’t meet the Q-Comp Compensation Standard

Wrapping up Tri 1: Task 1 – SAG entry ALL GOALS NEEDED TO BE ENTERED BY NOVEMBER 24 OR THE TEACHER FORFEITED THE $210 SAG INCENTIVE! (And they will still have to do the goal…employee performance issue!) Please submit the names of any teachers who did not submit a goal in AHEP to Jan Winters.

Wrapping up Tri 1: Task 2 – Complete Form Ds Complete any Form Ds that haven’t been completed ASAP

Wrapping up Tri 1: Task 3 – Repeat Observations if Necessary If a teacher doesn’t meet the initial standard to advance to the second observation, you have two options: – Add evidence from the second observation below the evidence collected from the first observation. Change the “no” to “yes.” – Call Rena Hammes in Employee Services, and she will reset the data from observation one. This “wipes out” the first observation and allows the teacher and administrator to start over.

Wrapping up Tri 1: Task 3 – Repeat Observations if Necessary What do the remaining observation cycles look like if I determine a HC teacher needs an administrative observation in place of the Peer of Choice? The administrator has the right to designate another administrator or an administrative intern under his/her supervision to complete the second observation IN PLACE of the Peer of Choice. The administrator will conduct a Targeted Area of Growth Observation Cycle in place of the Peer of Choice. The teacher can still complete a Peer of Choice observation if desired. This will be considered an optional 4 th observation and is not recorded in AHEP. Contact Jan Winters to adjust the teacher workflow to reflect the change to administration.

Tri 2 & 3 Responsibilities Task 1 – Student Achievement Goals: Follow up with teachers to determine how they are monitoring student progress Task 2 – Observations: Two observations for all Probationary Teachers (March 15 deadline) and selected High Cycle teachers Task 3 – Domains 1 & 4: Continue to collect evidence on Domain 1, Planning and Preparation, and Domain 4, Professional Responsibilities

Tri 2: Task 1 – SAG Teachers may have met their goal at the end of the first trimester. Teachers may write a second goal if they did not meet the first. AHEP Tasks: If teachers want to write a second goal, they will need to contact Jan Winters via with their new goal. *Exceptions may be made for teachers on Leaves of Absences. Deadline for these teachers will be 30 calendar days after the teacher returns from Leave of Absence.

Tri 2: Task 1 – SAG Teachers complete Form A

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations * And selected HC teachers

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations Observations 2 and 3: in either order HIGH CYCLE TEACHERS: – Peer of Choice Cycle by Peer Evaluator – Classroom Environment Cycle PROBATIONARY TEACHERS: – Classroom Environment Observation Cycle – Targeted Area of Growth Observation Cycle

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations Classroom Environment Cycle Domain 2: The Classroom Environment 2a: Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport 2b: Establishing a Culture for Learning 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures 2d: Managing Student Behavior 2e: Organizing Physical Space

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations Classroom Environment Cycle PRE CONFERENCE: Student Achievement Goal Discussion: Monitoring Student Progress / Formative Assessments Pre Conference: What evidence will I see of proficiency in Domain 2, Classroom Environment? What evidence can the teacher provide that may not be observable? How can I collect evidence for Domain 1, Planning and Preparation?

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations Classroom Environment Cycle THE OBSERVATION: Collect Data during your observation on Domain 2, The Classroom Environment. Collect Data, if desired, for other Domains to help you complete the summative. Prepare Data for the Post Conference

Domain 2 practice Watch video – Review the component your table is assigned to – Collect data for each element within the component Work in table teams to create poster for your component within the Classroom Environment domain Share out – How would this be reflected in Form K

Tri 2: Task 2 – Observations Targeted Area of Growth Cycle This observation replaces the Peer of Choice option for probationary and selected High Cycle teachers. It may be done before or after the Classroom Environment Observation Cycle. It is an opportunity to work with the teacher on a special area of focus, determined either by the teacher, or directed by the administrator. (Example: ENVoY, questioning strategies, etc.) Data may be collected to help you complete the summative in other domains.

Tri 2: Task 3 – Collecting Data Domains 1 & 4 Continue to collect evidence on Domain 1, Planning and Preparation Continue to collect evidence on Domain 4, Professional Responsibilities

Additional Questions What about newly hired teachers and those under.4 FTE? Under.4 FTE: Don’t qualify for Q Comp, but they still have to be observed… Complete the entire observation process (3 observations cycles) for all full-year teachers. Teachers hired after the start of the school year: One observation cycle per trimester.
