The Why (Waiver & Strategic Plan) Aligned to research: MET Study Components: Framework/Multiple Measures Pilot Requirements Timeline

From Qualified to Effective ESEA Waiver used for continual improvement; differentiate performance use multiple, valid measures evaluate regularly provide useful feedback, used to inform personnel decisions

7  Monitor validity  Ensure reliability  Assure accuracy  Make meaningful distinctions  Prioritize support and feedback  Use data for decisions at all levels  Set expectations  Use multiple measures  Balance weights

Teacher Professional Growth and Effectiveness System Observation Peer Observation Professional Growth Self Reflection Student Voice Student Growth All measures are supported through evidence.

Explanation of Multiple Measures Student Growth Quantitative measure of the impact a teacher or principal has on a student (or set of students) as measured by student growth goal setting and student growth percentiles. Student Voice Student feedback around teacher performance based on survey data Professional Growth Increased effectiveness resulting from experiences that develop an educator’s skills, knowledge, expertise and other characteristics Self Reflection Critical self-examination of practice on a regular basis to deepen knowledge, expand repertoire of skills and incorporate findings to improve practice Peer Observation Process of a peer observing another’s professional practice and observable behaviors, providing supportive and constructive feedback for formative purposes Observation Evaluator’s observation, documentation and feedback on a teacher’s professional practices and observable behaviors Documents or demonstrations that indicates proof of a particular descriptor. Should be a natural by-product created through the process of teaching Evidence SUPPORTED BY

The Observation Process Principal/Supervisor provide documentation provide feedback measure the effectiveness of professional practice Peer (formative) collaborative process provide supportive and constructive feedback

A process by which teachers assess the effectiveness of: their instructional planning, lesson implementation, content knowledge beliefs and dispositions

Caring about students (Encouragement and Support) Captivating students (Learning Seems Interesting and Relevant) Conferring with students (Students Sense their Ideas are Respected) Controlling behavior (Culture of Cooperation and Peer Support) Clarifying lessons (Success Seems Feasible) Challenging students (Press for Effort, Perseverance and Rigor) Consolidating knowledge (Ideas get Connected and Integrated)

Student Growth Measures Goal Setting for Student Growth Applies to all teachers Student Growth Percentiles Applies to grades 4 – 8 reading & math
