Big Ideas for Goal Setting • Goal “Through Line” – aligning District, School, and Team or Individual goals with the four standards • 2 Types of Goals: Student Learning and Professional Practice • SMART goal criteria • Arlington EEDS Pilot – January to June 2013
Goal Setting • Goal Setting for all educators with supervisor approval is required. • Goals may be set for individuals or for teams of educators by grade level, subject area, or job-alike. • School or district leaders must provide educators with information prior to goal development.
Information Necessary for Goal Development • District goals • School goals • Student performance data applicable to educator’s role • Measures of student engagement and performance • Measures of school climate • Etc..
Goal Setting Guidance Educators should consider the following when drafting their goals: • Standards and indicators • Self Assessment data • School and district goals • Student learning needs • Educational challenges presented by the student population • Personal goals for student learning • Personal goals for improving professional practice • Feedback from previous evaluations: formative assessments, formative evaluations, and summative evaluations
EES Pilot – Two Indicators For the pilot, two indicators have been selected to focus on: Standard I. Curriculum, Planning and Assessment • Indicator B – Assessment Indicator • Variety of Assessment Methods • Adjustments to Practice Standard II. Teaching All Students • Indicator A – Instruction Indicator • Quality of Effort and Work • Student Engagement • Meeting Diverse Needs
Review School-Based Goals • Review your own school based goals. • Examine how they line up with district goals. • What kind of individual or team goals would line up with these district and school goals in these specific indicator areas? • 5-10 minute small group discussion Handouts: School-Based Aligned Goals Sheet Optional: District Goals (on website) School Specific Draft Goals (not on website – see Principal)
Two Types of Goals Every educator will create two goals: • Professional Practice Goal • Student Performance and Outcomes Goal
Student Learning or Professional Practice? • Look at the sample goals on the “Professional Practice or Student Learning Goals?” sheet. • At your table, discuss if each goal is a Student Learning Goal or a Professional Practice Goal • 5 minute discussion Handout: Professional Practice or Student Learning Goals?
What makes it SMART? • SMART goals are not new for APS teachers. • These are the types of goals we have been developing for our CLT/PLC’s. • The following slides will review and, hopefully, improve your understanding of SMART goals.
SMART Goals SPECIFIC – Goal has a well-defined target that gives clarity, direction, and focus. MEASURABLE – Concrete criteria for measuring progress toward attainment of the goal. ATTAINABLE – An attainable goal stretches the team in order to achieve it, but must not be extreme. RELEVANT – Goal relates to teaching, learning, leadership, parent engagement, and/or professional culture. TIME-BOUND – Goal to be achieved within a set time frame.
Goal Analysis and Revision Activity: How SMART Is It? Small groups review and make suggested revisions for the following: • Professional Practice Goal Analysis– page 9 • Student Learning Goal Analysis– page 12 • Review and discuss “Cheat Sheet” – pages 22 and 23 All handouts on website
Create a SMART Goal • Create a Student Learning or Professional Practice Goal that aligns with your school and district goals • Can be a Team or Individual Goal • Use the SMART Goal worksheets to ensure that your goal is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound • 10-15 minute activity • Come back together to discuss what you came up with Handouts: SMART Goal Professional Practice and Student Learning Goal Worksheets on website
Goal Setting Conference with Evaluator • Regulations require that team goals be considered • Team or individual meets with their supervisor • Educator/s and evaluator discuss and agree upon the two goals and begin to outline the professional development activities and the student learning activities to be incorporated into the Educator Plan
Arlington EES Pilot The Arlington Effective Educator Development Task Force is looking for a few teachers to pilot this system: • Who? – Volunteers with PTS status if this is an evaluation year • When? – January to June 2013 • Why? – To help figure out what works and what doesn’t and better inform our Year 1 implementation in 2013-2014 • What’s in it for me? • You will automatically be entered into a two year Self-Directed evaluation cycle next year; • There may be stipend positions in 2013-2014 to help teachers new to the system create SMART goals, etc..
