  2. Silence electronic devices Minimize the use of those devices during presentations and activities Observe the time frames and signals Limit sidebar conversations Keep materials organized Collaborative Code

  3. Project Development - Goal To develop a teacher effectiveness model that: • will reform the way we evaluate teachers • and identify critical components of teacher training and professional growth

  4. Project Development - Background • $800,000 Gates Foundation grant to facilitate the development of statewide policy, tools and processes to evaluate teachers and principals in which student achievement is a significant factor affecting performance ratings • PDE is closely following the work of the Pittsburgh Public Schools – PPS recipients of $40 million Gates Foundation grant that is more comprehensive in scope but similar in redesigning evaluation policy, tools and processes

  5. The following were the pilot sites: Allentown School District Cornell School District Mohawk School District Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit (IU 5) 2010-2011 Pilot I Sites

  6. Next Steps – Value-Added Models – (15%) • Mathematica Policy Research Proposal • Develop value-added models (VAMs) for estimating the contribution of individual teachers and principals to growth in student achievement. • Provide estimates based on VAMs for teacher and principal evaluation. • Assess the strength of relationships between VAM-based and observation-based measures of performance, to inform decisions about which observation-based measures should be included and how to evaluate teachers in non-tested grades and subjects. • Develop and calculate summary performance indicators across value-added measures and between value-added and other measures. • Synthesize the findings in annual reports that document the model’s continual development over time.

  7. Next Steps – Teacher Reports and Student-Teacher Linkages (15%) • Teacher value-added reports for individual teachers by grade/subject/year using a robust statistical report. • Teacher diagnostic reports for insight on effectiveness with students by achievement level and subgroup. • Administrator summary reports for authorized users in a particular school or district. • Drill down capacity to individual student-level projections based on classroom rosters. • Teacher-level value-added reports require student-teacher linkages, which capture the instructor(s) responsible for a student’s learning in the tested grade/subject. It is critical that this linkage system provide accurate information that is validated by individual teachers. • Web-based teacher reporting for PSSA grades 4-8 • Web-based teacher reporting for PSSA grades 4-8 and Keystone Exams

  8. Multiple Measures of Teacher Evaluation - Anticipated Evidence (50%) • Principal/Supervisor classroom observations, including evidence that demonstrates behaviors associated with improving student achievement: • Domains • Planning and preparation • Classroom environment • Instruction • Professional responsibilities

  9. Teacher Evaluation Rubric • 4 Domains • 22 Components • 4 possible ratings for each component • Unsatisfactory • Progressing/Needs Improvement • Proficient • Distinguished

  10. A Framework for Teaching:Components of Professional Practice • Domain 1: Planning and Preparation • Demonstrating Knowledge of Content and Pedagogy • Demonstrating Knowledge of Students • Setting Instructional Outcomes • Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources • Designing Coherent Instruction • Designing Student Assessments • Domain 2: The Classroom Environment • Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport • Establishing a Culture for Learning • Managing Classroom Procedures • Managing Student Behavior • Organizing Physical Space • Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities • Reflecting on Teaching • Maintaining Accurate Records • Communicating with Families • Participating in a Professional Community • Growing and Developing Professionally • Showing Professionalism • Domain 3: Instruction • Communicating with Students • Using Questioning and Discussion • Techniques • Engaging Students in Learning • Using Assessment in Instruction • Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness

  11. Next Steps – Pilot Schools • Beginning in January • One Formal Observation and One walk-through observation per participating teacher • Can you reduce pilot size? YES • Reporting out the Evidence • After school is out • Evidence collected to be shared with Mathematica – not PDE • How? Still working out the details

  12. Questions or Comments?

  13. Introduction to the Domains OBJECTIVES: Participants will learn… • How their thinking about good teaching compares to the framework we will use • That the Framework represents good common sense, and much that we already know, about teaching • The form and content of Domains 1, 2, 3, and 4

  14. Having an Impact • If we want to impact student achievement and growth … • Then we must impact teaching and learning, • And, we have to agree on what good teaching is… 15
