Where are we headed for SY12-13? PVAAS Professional Development

SY12-13 Reporting Early Fall 2013 o District/School Reporting and Projections Later Fall 2013 o PVAAS Teacher Reporting Pilot Year – Does NOT count towards 1 st 3 year average for Educator Effectiveness

Primary New Reporting/Changes New Reporting Keystone Value-Added Reporting Keystone Diagnostic Reporting Projections to Keystones Decision Dashboard o Concept: Consolidating Information o No need for Excel template in fall training Changes in Reporting o Reset Base Year Grades 4-8, Math and Reading o No 3 year average in Fall 2013 reporting

Implications Discussed Development and modification of all materials related to district/school reporting o In development now o 32 Help Files; 19 Virtual Learning Modules o Fall PD Materials o Other Resources/Materials Development of PVAAS roster verification system, PVAAS teacher reporting system, communications, materials and supports o In development now

Implications Discussed Need for staggered professional development by PVAAS Statewide Team Distribute resources between district/school reporting and teacher reporting o Time and People o Training Schedule

Considerations Connectedness of PVAAS Teacher-Specific Reporting as PART OF the system of value- added/growth reporting o System of information to inform continuous improvement o District-School-Grade-Subject-Subgroup- Teacher Specific We still have not mastered the one size does not fit all approach to training

Next Steps Developing draft plan for SY13-14 Would like feedback from 8-10 IUs o Jen and Joan will touch base with draft plan Tentative Plan: Start Scheduling in February
