  1. Evaluations for Professional GrowthOhio TIF and OTES

  2. Core Beliefs • There is an urgency to ensure all students graduate prepared for college, careers, and future opportunities • A critical link exists between teacher effectiveness and student achievement • Effective educator evaluations are an important part of strengthening the teaching profession and providing professional growth opportunities for all

  3. The Context • The world is changing • Technology is advancing • Low-skill, living-wage jobs are declining • Businesses are looking globally for candidates • Education is the linchpin for future economic success • For individuals • For our country • Students need post-secondary training to open doors to future opportunities

  4. Adapting to a new Reality • Educators are embracing changes to prepare students for the future • This work involves: • What teachers teach – Common Core and state standards • How teachers teach – formative instructional practices • Evidence of student learning – assessments and data • Evidence of teacher effectiveness – teacher performance and student growth

  5. Teacher Effectiveness • Educator effectiveness is single most important classroom factor impacting student achievement • Effective evaluation systems: • Set high expectations for teachers and leaders • Provide feedback and support for professional growth • Help everyone in the profession, including the best, continually get better

  6. Evaluation for Professional Growth • Educator evaluation systems should align with local district goals and values • Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) is framework to help districts design evaluation systems for professional growth • Aligned to Ohio’s standards for teachers • Based 50 percent on measures of teacher performance, and 50 percent on student growth • Provides targeted professional learning opportunities based on results of evaluation

  7. Pioneering through Ohio TIF • Through TIF, districts are designing and implementing evaluation systems that: • Support local values and goals • Bring out the best in teachers • Focus on student outcomes • TIF districts will use the teacher performance side of the OTES framework in 2012-2013 • A year ahead of statewide implementation • Phased-in approach • Opportunity to be creative and test out the system

  8. OTES Framework (OTES Evaluation Framework, Ohio Department of Education)

  9. Current State of the Work • 2011-2012: All Ohio TIF districts (plus 100 other districts statewide) participating in OTES pilot • 2012-2013: All Ohio TIF districts begin phased-in implementation of OTES framework • Ohio TIF districts must have MOU in place by April 1, 2012 affirming they will implement in 2012-2013—we did this. • 2013-2014: All Ohio districts must begin full OTES implementation • Ohio districts must adopt or align to OTES framework by June 1, 2013 through local board policy

  10. Challenges and Opportunities Challenges • Capacity for implementation • Fairness in evaluations for different types of educators • Reliability and accuracy of data Opportunities • 2012-2013 phase-in, transition year • Be innovative and creative • Provide feedback to inform statewide implementation

  11. What does “Phased-in” mean? • USDOE has provided flexibility for Ohio TIF districts around OTES implementation • In 2012-2013, TIF districts must implement teacher performance components: • Two 30-minute observations and walkthroughs for all teachers • Ensuring inter-rater reliability by using credentialed evaluators • Using rubrics to determine ratings • Utilizing student growth in strategic compensation models

  12. 2012-2013 Evaluation Framework for Ohio TIF

  13. Personnel Policies • How does the OTES implementation impact personnel decisions in 2012-2013? • All local policies regarding personnel decisions stand for 2012-2013 • Per House Bill 153, districts to not need to use outcomes of evaluations in personnel decisions until 2013-2014

  14. Student growth • How will student growth be used in evaluations in 2012-2013? • Student growth will only be used as part of district strategic compensation award models • Student growth is not required to be part of the evaluation, rating or personnel decisions in 2012-2013 • This phased-in approach provides additional time to explore value-added and other student growth metrics

  15. Student growth

  16. The Work Ahead • Ohio TIF districts are receiving support from ODE and BFK to implement OTES in 2012-2013 • Through participating in this year’s pilot, Ohio TIF districts are informing state policy and guidance on implementation

  17. Evaluations in our District • Circleville’s work to implement OTES • Collaborative team – GAT • Kevin Fox and three EMS teachers participated in 2011-2012 pilot – very positive feedback – they actually liked it! • Student growth is embedded throughout our TIF award model • Goal #1—Improving P.I. Scores • Goal #2—Student Learning Objectives (SLO) • Goal #3—TBTs and Value-Added/Opt-In Data

  18. Learn More • The work around evaluations is challenging work, but worthwhile • For more information about evaluations and OTES in our district, contact: • Jonathan Kuehnle • Phone: 740.474.4340, ext. 1312 • Email: Jonathan.Kuehnle@cvcsd.com
