  1. Staff Data in Professional Development and Evaluations: Coming Attractions Kathy Hebda Deputy Chancellor for Educator Quality

  2. Today’s Topics • Professional Development Developments • New Protocol Standards • Corresponding revisions to data reporting • HQT ASAP • New reporting schedule • Sunshine on the Horizon • Race to the Top and State Fiscal Stabilization • Focus on Teacher and Principal Effectiveness • Focus on Equitable Distribution of Effective Educators • Implications for Public Reporting and Data Analysis

  3. Professional Development Developments • New Protocol Standards for Effective Professional Development adopted • Review process began June 2009 • Adopted into Rule 6A-5.071, Master Inservice Plans, in March 2010 • 65 standards assessed at the district, school and educator levels • Guiding Principles • Professional development is the responsibility of each school district – reviews conducted by district. • All professional development will adhere to the standards and concepts of the system.

  4. Professional Development Developments • Guiding Principles Continued…The Revised Protocol Standards will • Incorporate the expectations of section1012.98, F.S. • Create a system that is founded in state law, research, and exemplary practices • Lead to increased student achievement • Be applicable regardless of size and location in the district. It should be possible for every district to implement every standard. • Continue to be organized by level and strand. • Support and be infused into the state’s major initiatives

  5. Professional Development Developments • Strand titles changed to: • Planning What planning occurs to organize and support the professional learning for teachers? • Learning (was Delivery) What is the quality of the professional learning in which educators participate? • Implementing (was Follow-up) How do educators apply the skills and knowledge gained through the professional learning? • Evaluating (was Evaluation) What evaluation occurs to ensure that the professional learning resulted in educators applying what they learned in the classroom/school and improvements in student learning occurred as a direct outcome?

  6. Professional Development Developments Resulting Changes in Staff Data Reporting 1. “Delivery” method, now the “Learning” method • Learning Community or Lesson Study (group learning focused on student data, student work, lesson development or curriculum) • Independent Inquiry – includes Action Research (independent study, research, project) • Structured Coaching/Mentoring (one-on-one or group learning with a coach or mentor, with specific learning objectives for the teacher) • Retained Learning Categories of: Workshop, Electronic Interactive, and Electronic Non-interactive

  7. Professional Development Developments Resulting Changes in Staff Data Reporting 2. Evaluation Method - Staff vs. Evaluation Method - Student • Student Method modifies existing data elements to: • Differentiate between standardized tests and teacher-made tests • Clarify “Observation” (vs. “checklist”) of student performance • Eliminate charts/graphs as methods for evaluation • Teacher Method lists options for evaluation of PD through changes in classroom, leadership or student service practices, such as: • Observations built in to PD activities • Annual evaluations • Individual Professional or Leadership Development Plans (IPDP, ILPD)

  8. HQT ASAP • Reporting timelines changed with federal reporting requirements: • HQT was reported to state during Survey 3; reported to USDE in July/August • HQT now reported in all Surveys 1-4; reported to USDE four times per year. • Changes to annual HQT Report are under development • Other changes to HQT data reporting provided better clarification (covered in presentation by Teresa Sancho)

  9. Overall Teacher Performance in Reading and Math (combined) in Title I and Non-Title I Schools 2008-09 Sunshine on the Horizon Three Thresholds: 50% or more of students making learning gains 75% or more of students making learning gains Value Table score of 125 or higher (placing teacher in about the top 20% of teachers in the state)

  10. Sunshine on the Horizon

  11. Sunshine on the Horizon • Race to the Top and State Fiscal Stabilization Focus Areas • Focus on Teacher and Principal Effectiveness • Focus on Equitable Distribution of Effective Educators to high poverty and high minority schools (current HQT/NCLB focuses on distribution of Highly Qualified teachers) • Relates to data collected for section 1012.2315, F.S., Assignment of Teachers • School districts may not assign a higher percentage than the school district average of temporarily certified teachers, teachers in need of improvement, or out-of-field teachers to schools in one of the three lowest-performing categories under s. 1008.33(3)(b).

  12. Sunshine on the Horizon • The quality of staff data is more important than ever. Examples of “hot topic” data… • Evaluation data for 2008-09: • 99.74% of teachers were rated as satisfactory or above • 39 of 77 districts (includes lab schools) rated 100% of teachers satisfactory or above • 11,620 teachers left teaching positions in 2008-09: • 7,160 (63.6%) exited voluntarily • 3,554 (31.6%) resigned involuntarily, including 348 for performance reasons • 536 (4.8%) left for other reasons

  13. Sunshine on the Horizon • Major research studies are published using Florida data • FDOE has responded to nearly 1,000 data requests since 2004, 20% of which occurred within the last year. • Includes Brown, Fordham, George Washington, and Harvard universities; Mathematica, Center on Education Policy, and others • Obtaining and retaining federal funds (RTTT, SFSF, and others) hinge on accurately reporting improvement in student achievement and in educator quality • Aggregates of individual teacher performance • Aggregates of individual principal performance • Comparisons by school type, subject area, classroom, students • New student growth models • New evaluation, compensation and preparation models • Evaluation of professional development
