Accountability CMT’s and the Teacher Evaluation System
Why Connecticut has changed the system of accountability: • CT received a waiver from AYP • CT’s waiver included: • Goal – not Proficiency – as expected performance level • Growth Model: • Counting all student movement between all levels shows growth • Student performance goals are meaningful for schools
Performance Index • Index between 0 and 100 • Counts performance in all tested grade levels • Captures performance across performance bands • Includes all tested subjects: reading, writing, math, and science • Incorporates all tested students, including students who take the MAS and the Skills Checklist • Provides subject-specific indices and overall index • Calculated for “all students” group and subgroups: ELL, SWD, Black, Hispanic, F/R lunch
Connecticut State Targets: following 2018 Horace W. Porter School’s Baseline SPI (2012) = 87.2% Columbia School System’s Baseline DPI (2012) = 87.0%
School Classification: Met all state targets • Excelling • Progressing • Transition • Review (inc. Focus) • Turnaround Meeting annual targets Not meeting annual targets Need the most support: eligible for Commissioner’s Network; otherwise, district-led interventions and redesign
How did we do? • Our Results
Goal Setting • All teachers need to write several goals • One Goal is aligned to improving the SPI, which counts for 5% of the teacher’s total evaluation • To help work towards improving the SPI, all teachers will set a goal around reading
Teacher Support and Development • All teachers have received a book entitled, “Developing Content Vocabulary” • All teachers have been trained in “reading across the content areas” • Language Arts Teachers K-8 have been trained in Reading Workshop for consistency across grade levels • Additional professional development and support during monthly Faculty/Curriculum Meetings and weekly Team Meetings
