  1. Mississippi Principal Evaluation System (MPES) Advisory Board September 24, 2013

  2. I. Introduction • Welcome • Introductions (SECC at SEDL, RCU) • Please hold questions until after each section. • MPES Update: • 1,461 principals in Canvas • 1,050 goal forms (Forms 2A-C) received to date • Major challenges thus far: Login process, goal-setting questions, Canvas downtime

  4. II. MPES Circle Survey • Survey comprises 30% of Summative Assessment Score for principals • MDE will provide one survey option free of charge • MDE survey tool will be ready for testing late October; survey tool goes live January 2014 • 3 components: Certified Staff (10%), Principal (10%), and Supervisor (10%) • All certified staff will participate in the survey • Concise, secure, online survey (should take 30 min.)

  5. Circle Survey Process • Survey may be completed at each participant’s convenience or in a lab setting • Survey score will align with the MPES 1-4 rating system • MPES Advisory Board training on the tool will take place in November • Webinar training for MPES participants will occur in January-February

  6. Circle Survey Process, Cont. • Anonymous staff component • Districts will receive an assigned ID code for each principal being evaluated. • Districts will be responsible for deciding how to distribute the principal ID code and the randomly assigned, one-time-use login IDs to certified staff in each school. • The RCU will help facilitate this process as much or as little as the district wants.

  7. Circle Survey Process, Cont. • How will the secure login information be randomly assigned to certified staff? • District level staff will distribute login information to the schools. • Districts may choose the best methods for them: 1. Fishbowl method—login IDs are randomly selected by each qualified participant. 2. Login IDs are randomly generated and given to a district for distribution among schools.

  8. Circle Survey Process, Cont. • Security seems to be the key concern of MPES participants. • The principal and the MDE officials assessing survey results will have no way to link a specific login ID to a specific staff member within a school.

  9. Circle Survey Questionnaire • Drafted Circle Survey questions have been provided for you. Please consider: • Are questions clear? • Are questions appropriately categorized? • Are questions applicable to principals, assistant principals, CTE directors, and alternative school principals? • Our goal is to reduce the survey to approx. 30 questions using focus groups—please send us your initial feedback about which questions to remove and/or revise.

  10. Circle Survey Alternatives • MDE has established that the Circle Survey and alternative tools must be valid, reliable, and research based. • A minimum of 4 tools must be offered; districts may choose their preference. • The RCU will provide recommendations to MDE based on available tools and data.

  11. Circle Survey Alternatives, Cont. • RCU researchers are looking at factors such as availability, cost, validity, reliability, etc. • Tools being studied include options like: • Diagnostic Assessment of School and Principal Effectiveness • Performance Review Analysis and Improvement System for Education (PRAISE) • Principal Instructional-Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) • Vanderbilt Assessment of Leadership in Education (VAL-ED)

  12. Future Considerations • The first year is devoted to data gathering. Issues to consider in the future may include: • Minimum participation rate • Minimum population size • How to handle schools that do not achieve the minimum requirements

  13. Circle Survey Questions • What questions do you have? • What questions are MPES participants likely to have?
