  2. OBJECTIVES Louisiana Believes Share guidance to support use of Compass Teacher Rubric for teachers of students with significant disabilities Develop clarity on how this tool can be used to improve instructional practices for students with significant disabilities Solicit LASEA input into next steps

  3. Louisiana believes that every child can achieve college or career. • Every child should be on • track to a college degree • or a professional career. • Louisiana has adopted the Common Core standards for student learning that put students on a level playing field with students across the country and around the world. • Compass is a set of professional development tools to guide teachers in attaining these rigorous goals with all students.

  4. Teacher Feedback and Support Before Compass We need to ensure that the Compass observation/feedback cycle supports the professional practices growth of all teachers, including those who work with students with significant disabilities. Louisiana Believes Before Compass’ launch, few teachers received frequent, meaningful information about their performance. Excellence was often unrecognized and ineffective teaching went unaddressed. Many teachers did not have the feedback and support they needed to reach their potential. Specifically: More than 98 percent of teachers were assigned the same rating, “Satisfactory” Observations occurred as infrequently as once every three years Feedback provided to teachers was not necessarily based on their individual needs or the performance of their students

  5. The Compass Framework • Student Growth • Student learning targets • Value-added measures, where available In the Compass system, educators set goals, receive feedback and support to develop their practice, and earn end-of-year ratings based on multiple sources of information.

  6. The Compass Development Process • Advisory Committee on Educator Evaluation (ACEE) convenes • Educator task forces provide feedback on development of pilot tools • Educator work groups develop first exemplar student learning targets • Focus groups convene • 10 districts/ charters pilot Compass process • All districts receive value-added data for eligible teachers • Revisions are made to Compass tools, based on pilot feedback • Thousands are trained on Compass model • LDOE collects feedback; refines Compass to make the system a true professional development tool • Teachers and administrators receive first Compass ratings Louisiana Believes Compass was developed by Louisiana educators.

  7. Educators suggested changes that will help Compass be a more effective professional development tool Louisiana Believes

  8. Timeline • Share updated end-of-year value-added reports with teachers • Release of Compass end-of-year report • Provide additional training to evaluators and teachers • Launch video library • Release 2013-14 academic strategy, including updated Compass guidebook for evaluators and educators • Release additional guidance/ exemplars for special education & early childhood • Provide webinars and guidance on the end-of-year process • Evaluators begin assigning final ratings for the year • Teacher leaders are identified to support Compass and Common Core work in 2013-14 • Share new Expected Value-Added Reports with teachers Louisiana Believes

TOOLS FOR TODAY Louisiana Believes • Compass Resources for Teachers of Students with Significant Disabilities and Their Evaluators • Section 1 – Conducting an Effective pre-Observation Conference • Section II - Supplemental examples of highly effective performance • Section III: Appendix (Key Concepts) • Compass Teacher Rubric • PowerPoint slides
