  2. Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) • Research indicates the most important factor in a student’s education is first and foremost the teacher. • When students are assigned to ineffective teachers for three years in a row, insurmountable academic losses occur. • The goal of Georgia’s Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) is to provide teachers with meaningful feedback and support opportunities which lead to improved teacher performance and consequently, improved student outcomes.

  3. Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) The primary purposes of TKES are to: • Optimize student learning and growth. • Improve the quality of instruction by ensuring accountability for classroom performance and teacher effectiveness. • Contribute to successful achievement of the goals and objectives defined in the vision, mission, and goals of Georgia Public Schools. • Provide a basis for instructional improvement through productive teacher performance appraisal and professional growth. • Implement a performance evaluation system that promotes collaboration between the teacher and evaluator and promotes self-growth, instructional effectiveness, and improvement of overall job performance. • Focus on student learning.

  4. Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) • 2014-2015 = Full Implementation Statewide • Three components: • Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) = 50% • Surveys of Instructional Practice • Student Growth and Academic Achievement = 50%

  17. TAPS Process

  18. Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS)Formative Assessment Process • Four Walkthroughs • 10 minute minimum for each • Limited standards rated (typically 1-4 standards) • Two Formative Observations • 30 minute minimum for each • All 10 standards rated • Additional documentation may be requested

  19. Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS)

  20. Surveys of Instructional Practice • Student surveys are administered online and anonymous. • The surveys inform teachers on the students’ perceptions of their instructional practice. • Surveys provide an additional source of documentation for 4 of the 10 standards (3, 4, 7, and 8). • If the TAPS ratings and the survey results on any of these four standards are inconsistent, the evaluator is required to provide justification when commenting on the standard(s) within the GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform.

  21. Surveys of Instructional Practice • Survey Administration Window: October – March • After survey administration, survey results must be referenced on all subsequent formative and summative assessments. • Surveys will be administered in the following manner: • Self-contained: All students will be surveyed unless otherwise determined by an appropriate school committee. • Departmentalized: The principal or designee will choose two class periods to survey students. • Non-collaborative Special Programs: The principal or designee will ensure all students taught by special program teachers have an opportunity to complete the survey. • To gain valid survey results, a minimum of 15 students shall complete the survey for their teacher.

  22. Student Growth and Academic Achievement • Teachers of courses tested by Georgia Milestones: • Student growth percentiles are measured based on student performance on state tests http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Pages/Georgia-Student-Growth-Model.aspx • Teachers of non-tested courses: • Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) measure student growth between two points in time as determined by performance on pre- and post-tests

  23. Teacher Evaluation Measure (TEM Score) • Teachers employed and providing direct instruction for at least 65% of the instructional period will receive a TEM (Annual Evaluation) if Student Growth data are available. • For either student growth measure, Student Growth Percentile (SGP) or Student Learning Objective (SLO), a student must be enrolled at least 65% of the course for the data to be included in the calculation of the teacher’s TEM. A teacher must provide instruction for at least 65% of the course. • Student Growth Data shall be a lagging measure; when available, the prior year’s growth measures will inform the current year’s TEM. • Roster Verification shall ensure correct student/teacher linkages for the purposes of evaluating teachers’ effectiveness.

  24. Teacher Evaluation Measure (TEM Score) A TEM score will fall into one of four rating levels:

  25. Teacher Evaluation Measure (TEM Score) Student Growth (SGP) Rating Levels (1-99)*: *Based on Mean Growth Percentiles of all students taught by that teacher

  26. Teacher Evaluation Measure (TEM Score) Student Growth (SLO) Rating Levels:

  27. Who Will Receive a TEM Score? *SLOs and SGPs are lagging data. This means that the data used will be from the previous school year to determine the current year’s TEM score.

  28. Teacher Evaluation Measure (TEM Score) • Only teachers with both TAPS and student growth will receive a TEM. • To have a rating in a student growth measure, a teacher must have at least 15 student measures. • For teachers with both SGP and SLO ratings, the overall student growth measure will be determined by weighting each rating by the number of students having that measure, then averaging and rounding the result using standard rounding rules. • Each teacher’s combined TAPS and Student Growth ratings will result in a designated cell on the matrix; this cell will determine his or her final TEM rating.

  30. TEM Scores and Certification • TEM Scores will NOT be reported to GaPSC for certification purposes until 2016. • In 2014-2015, only Summative TAPS ratings will be utilized for certificate renewal. • Summative Needs Development (Level 2) and Ineffective (Level 1) TAPS ratings will be reported to GaPSC.
