April 12, 15 and 16, 2013

2. Today we will learn. . .
How to assure that evidence matches rubric assessment
How to arrive at a final composite rating
The nature of evidence for paraprofessional assessment

3. 1. Evidence and Rubric Match
Words chosen in the rubric MUST match back to the evidence collected.
Decide whether the ratings indicated match the evidence.

4. The Composite: Just for Fun
Rate your faculty’s performance on each of the components of the framework
Consider current, typical practice

5. 2. The Composite Teacher reviews 5 touches
Teacher marks composite form, sends to principal: ATTAINMENT
Principal indicates components of agreement.
Components for discussion are completed in conference with teacher
Principal marks overall rating: PREPONDRANCE

6. ATTAINMENT Trajectory Growth
Resulting level of performance: current, typical
NOT an average!!!!!
Ineffective in October/Proficient in May: What’s the attainment?
----- Meeting Notes (4/15/13 10:27) -----
Adjust the composite so that the princiapl has to justify the reason.
Consider that the "A" rating must not include any "D".

7. PREPONDRANCE
Majority
Informed by power components

8. 3. Paraprofessional Assessment
All specialist rubrics were written by groups of those specialists, not by the Danielson Group
Each specialist group was asked to model their rubric format after the CMSD teacher rubric.

9. Accomplished Examples
What would an outstanding paraprofessional tell you (facts) and show you (artifacts) that would convince you that s/he is at the accomplished level in your assigned component?

10. Walk-Through?
Most D2/D3 “touches” (second touch) for paraprofessionals should include, but not be limited to, a walk-through observation.
