  4. Session Overview • The Context for The Reform of Teacher Evaluation • The Problem: Determining Music Teacher Effectiveness • Validity and Reliability Issues • Challenges to the SRIG

  5. The political context:The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act(2009) Achieving Equity in Teacher Distribution • The State will take actions to improve teacher effectiveness and comply with section 1111(b)(8)(C) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 6311(b)(8)(C)) in order to address inequities in the distribution of highly qualified teachers between high- and low-poverty schools, and to ensure that low-income and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers. (H.R.1, p. 169)

  6. The political context:Race to the Top Phase 2 - CFDA Number: 84.395A (2010) • RTTT Phase 2 defines teacher evaluation: • States, LEAs, or schools must include multiple measures, provided that teacher effectiveness is evaluated, in significant part, by student growth (as defined in this notice). Supplemental measures may include, for example, multiple observation-based assessments of teacher performance. (p. 19499)

  7. The political context:Race to the Top Phase 2 • Student achievement means: (b)  For non-tested grades and subjects: alternative measures of student learning and performance such as student scores on pre-tests and end-of-course tests; student performance on English language proficiency assessments; and other measures of student achievement that are rigorous and comparable across classrooms. (p. 19500) Student growth means the change in student achievement for an individual student between two or more points in time.  A State may also include other measures that are rigorous and comparable across classrooms.
