  9. Educator Effectiveness UpdatesDisclaimer: All updates are preliminary. Final regulations and details will be released by the end of June in the PA Bulletin.

  10. NTPE = Non-Teaching Professional Educator • Definition: Educational Specialists or professional educators who provide services other than classroom instruction. This includes employees with instructional certification who are not categorized as classroom teachers by the LEA. • Basically, three groups will fall under the category of NTPE: • Educational Specialists • Instructionally Certified teachers not providing direct instruction • Administrators/Supervisors • Ultimately, the LEA needs to categorize each employee as either a teaching or non-teaching professional.

  11. NTPE NTPEs working under their Instructional Certification will be evaluated using the Danielson Framework for Teaching. A crosswalk will be posted on PDEs website to illustrate the connection between the legislative intent of Act 82 for NTPEs and the Danielson Framework. The SAS portal will have examples for these professionals (ex. PIIC has developed examples for instructional coaches who do not provide direct instruction).

  12. NTPE NTPEs working under their Supervisory Certification will be evaluated using the Framework for Leadership. Examples of professional employees in this group would include Special Education Directors and Curriculum Directors. (Note: Principal certification may qualify an administrator to serve as a Director of Curriculum. In such a case, the employee would be considered a NTPE working under their Supervisory Certification.)

  13. NTPE NTPEs working under an Educational Specialist Certification have been providing feedback from the pilot in 2014-15. The rubrics are designed to help the evaluators have a better understanding of the level of performance of their specialists.

  14. NTPE • All NTPEs (i.e., all three groups) will be evaluated using 82-3. All domains for the Observation/Practice area will be weighted equally. The four domains follow: • Planning and Preparation • Educational Environment • Delivery of Service • Professional Development

  15. Classroom Teacher Effectiveness 2013-14 SPP data is expected to be available on September 19 to enter into the summative evaluation for 2013-14. BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST 2013-14 82-1 FORM. CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE. PDE has provided a chart of guidance regarding which SPP to use at various times.

  16. Classroom Teacher Effectiveness • A new 82-1 form for 2014-15 will be posted after July 1. • For 2014-15, the factors for the 82-1 form follow: • Teacher Observation/Practice = 50% • Building Level Data = 15% • Teacher Specific Data (except for PVAAS) = 15% • Elective Data = 20%

  17. Classroom Teacher Effectiveness • In regard to Teacher Specific Data, Act 82 states the following: • (B) Fifteen per centum (15%) teacher-specific data, including, but not limited to, student achievement attributable to a specific teacher as measured by all of the following: • (I) Student performance on assessments.* • (II) Value-added assessment system data made available by the department under section 221. • (III) Progress in meeting the goals of student individualized education plans required under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (Public Law 91-230, 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.). • (IV) Locally developed school district rubrics. • *The term "assessment" shall mean the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment test, the Keystone Exam, an equivalent local assessment or another test established by the State Board of Education to meet the requirements of section • Link to Act 82: • http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/US/HTM/2012/0/0082..HTM

  18. Classroom Teacher Effectiveness Although the Value-Added Assessment Data will not be available in 2014-15, the 15% Teacher Specific Data requirement will be in effect. Essentially, the SLO process will be used to incorporate progress in meeting IEP goals and local district rubrics in order to address the Teacher Specific Data requirement. A new Administrative Manual and a new FAQ document are coming in order to better explain the requirements for 2014-15, especially Teacher Specific Data requirement.

  19. Principal Effectiveness Correlation Data: Due to a lack of a statistical correlation between Teacher Level Measures and Observation and Practice ratings, it was recommended that PDE adopt a process that focuses on the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal based on the principal’s knowledge, understanding and intended use of the evidence presented regarding the relationship between Teacher Level Measures and the Observation and Practice ratings.

  20. Principal Effectiveness Correlation Data Continued: A performance Level Descriptor Chart has been developed that will provide the guidance for a rating for the Correlation Data segment based on the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal regarding Teacher Level Measures and the Observation and Practice ratings. Teacher Level Measures shall include, but not be limited to any combination of one or more of the following data: Building Level Data Teacher Specific Data Elective Data

  21. Principal Effectiveness Elective Data: A template for the Principal SLOs has been completed. The template will consist of expandable boxes that will be used by the principal to complete the measureable goal(s) as stated in the SLO including, but not limited to: historical information relating to the selection of the goal, performance indicators, performance measures, action plans, and a rating scale that will be developed in collaboration between the supervising administrator and the principal. PDE will provide a template, guidance, and direction to facilitate the completion of the SLO document.

  22. Principal Effectiveness 2014-15 Trainings: Framework for Leadership Training – 30 PIL hours Correlation Training + Elective Data Training – 30 PIL hours

  23. Principal Effectiveness Phase III Pilot Data Collection: Opened on April 21 and will close on June 30. Two components per domain are expected to be rated based upon the evidence collected during Phase III. Data will be sent directly to the researchers (REL) and not to PDE. Data can be used to help inform a principal’s rating for 2013-14.

  24. Project Based AssessmentUpdates

  25. PBAs Timeframe for completion is open ended. School district’s report the average time as 9-13.5 hrs. for Algebra. Literature is expected to take longer. Projects and passages can be downloaded as a PDF and printed, but they cannot be removed from the room. A new FAQ document is coming soon. Implementation Plans Training Needs?
