Teacher Keys Effectiveness System Teacher Orientation 2012-2013 School Year Pilot and Full Year Implementation Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent “Making Education Work for All Georgians” www.gadoe.org
Today’s Learning Targets • Introduce and explain all three components of the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System. • Understand that the Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) is one component of the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES). • Provide expectations and orientation for the 2012-2013 Teacher Keys pilot and full year implementation.
Resources and Materials Teachers will need the following resources and materials for this orientation: • Teacher Keys Effectiveness System Handbook, Electronic Copy • TKES Orientation Notes Handout • TAPS Reference Sheet: Performance Standards and Sample Performance Indicators

TAPS Domains and Standards 5 Domains 10 Standards
TAPS Main Components DOMAIN performance standard PERFORMANCE INDICATORS PERFORMANCE appraisal rubric
Domain: Planning Performance Standard 1: ProfessionalKnowledge The teacher demonstrates an understanding of the curriculum, subject content, pedagogical knowledge, and the needs of students by providing relevant learning experiences. Performance Standard 2: Instructional Planning The teacher plans using state and local school district curricula and standards, effective strategies, resources, and data to address the differentiated needs of all students.
Domain : Instructional Delivery Performance Standard 3: Instructional Strategies The teacher promotes student learning by using research-based instructional strategies relevant to the content area to engage students in active learning and to facilitate the students’ acquisition of key knowledge and skills. Performance Standard 4: Differentiated Instruction The teacher challenges and supports each student’s learning by providing appropriate content and developing skills which address individual learning differences.
Domain: Assessment of and For Learning Performance Standard 5: Assessment Strategies The teacher systematically choosesa variety of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment strategies and instruments that are valid and appropriate for the content and student population. Performance Standard 6: Assessment Uses The teacher systematically gathers, analyzes, and uses relevant data to measure student progress, to inform instructional content and delivery methods, and to provide timely and constructive feedback to both students and parents.
Domain: Learning Environment Performance Standard 7: Positive Learning Environment The teacher provides a well-managed, safe, and orderly environment that is conducive to learning and encourages respect for all. Performance Standard 8: Academically Challenging Environment The teacher creates a student-centered, academic environment in which teaching and learning occur at high levels and students are self-directed learners.
Domain: Professionalism & Communication Performance Standard 9: Professionalism The teacher exhibits a commitment to professional ethics and the school’s mission, participates in professional growth opportunities to support student learning, and contributes to the profession. Performance Standard 10: Communication The teacher communicates effectively with students, parents or guardians, district and school personnel, and other stakeholders in ways that enhance student learning.
TAPS Process Flow Documentation includes data from walkthroughs and surveys.
TAPS Process Flow Documentation includes data from walkthroughs and surveys.
Self-Assessment Form (Abbreviated) Must be completed electronically prior to pre-conference.
TAPS Data Sources Observations Two formative observations, at least 30 minutes each. Announced or unannounced. Four walkthroughs, minimum of 10 minutes each. Observations must be completed prior to the summative evaluation. Formative and summative assessments completed using the electronic platform. Documentation Upon Evaluator’s Request Site administrator determines format (electronic and/or hard-copy). Documentation sources may vary. Evaluator collects notes on Formative Assessment Form. Documentation is collected in the electronic platform.
Examples of Documentation • Lesson Plans • Summary of Conference with Teacher • Parent Contact Log • Data Used to Differentiate • Emails to Parents • Assessments • Professional Learning

Surveys of Instructional Practice • Are administered through the TLE Electronic Platform • Use three different surveys (Grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) • Require anonymous responses (no commentary) • Allow for multiple district-selected survey windows • Open on October 1, 2012 and close on April 30, 2013 • Allow for multiple administrations for same teacher
Grades 6-8 Survey Sample Abbreviated Sample Form for Training Purposes
TKES Survey Results • The summary table will provide the mean survey response for the four performance standards. • Evaluators will use this data as an additional source of documentation to inform the formative and the summative rating within the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System.

SGP Final Points SGPs not only show how individualstudentsare progressing, but they also can be aggregated to show how groups of students, schools, districts, and the state are progressing. This model can transition to PARCC when implemented.
