Framework Requirements  ADE Adopted Model Framework for Educator Effectiveness April, 2011  By 2012-2013 School Year: District must adopt classroom evaluation system and professional expectation tool; AND  District must identify the student achievement data to be assigned to each teacher based on their status as a Group A or Group B teacher  Group A: Teachers with valid and reliable classroom level student achievement data such as: AIMs, Stanford 10  Group B: Teachers with almost no valid and reliable classroom level student achievement data. Therefore, school-level data used such as: AIMs, Stanford 10, AZ Learns Label  PUSD estimates that at least 70% of teachers will be Group B

4. Framework: Evaluation System Requirements  Classroom Observation and Professional Responsibility Tool must be :  Rubric Based  Tied to Arizona Teaching Standards: InTasc  PUSD adopted Evaluation System 2011, without the data requirement

6. PUSD Plans for Continuous Improvement for Current Evaluation Process  Reconvening Governing Board appointed Certified Teacher Evaluation Committee (CTEC) to look at current evaluation tool and system  Committee will:  Analyze survey data from both teachers and administrators  Make recommendations for changes, based on survey data and new research  Administration will bring back CTEC’s recommendations to Governing Board for approval

7. Data Requirements- Group A

8. Possible Data Weighting for Group A Sample 1: 33% Classroom-level data 17% School-level data 50% Teaching Performance Sample 2: 50% Classroom-level data 50% Teaching Performance Sample 3: 33% Classroom-level data 67% Teaching Performance

9. Data Requirement - Group B

10. Possible Data Weighting Group B  Sample 1:  17% Classroom-level data  33% School-level data  50% Teaching Performance  Sample 2:  50% School-level data  50% Teaching Performance Sample 3:  33% School-level data  67% Teaching Performance

11. Data, Data, Data  November, 2011 – Administration Formed Teacher Evaluation Data Committee  80 participants district-wide participated in 5 meetings  Developed understanding around the Framework and the requirements of ARS 15-203 Group A and Group B Valid and Reliable Data  Teachers, Specialists and Administrators formed groups by subject area or grade level and helped to identify valid and reliable data  Large committee recommended the percentage of data for Group A and Group B

12. Teacher Evaluation: Data Component Next Steps  Create a PUSD Standing Data Committee  Committee composed primarily of teachers  Review the Data Committee’s work and formalize it for Governing Board approval Formulate the data points and process needed to satisfy ARS 15-203 and the Framework Fair and equitable data components Recommendation regarding use of data in employment decision making

13. Adoption Plan for 2012-2013  Administration Seek Governing Board approval by May for the following:  Revised Observation and Professional Responsibilities Tool  Data Components by Grade/Subject Area  Outline process developing valid and reliable assessments for Group B subjects

18. Principal Data Requirements and Options

19. SAMPLE WEIGHTING PRINCIPAL EVALUATIONS  Sample 1:  33% School-level data  17% System/School-level data  50% Instructional leadership  Sample 2:  50% School-level data  50% Instructional leadership Sample 3:  33% School-level data  67% Instructional leadership

20. Principal Evaluation  Next Steps  Gain consensus on the Educational Leader Practices portion of the evaluation system  Formulate the data points and process needed to satisfy ARS 15-203 and the Framework  Seek Governing Board approval by May
