2. Introduction – Why Are We Starting New Evaluation Systems??

3. WAIVER - Principle 3Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership Implement teacher and principal evaluation and support systems that: • Are used for continual improvement of instruction • Use at least 3 performance levels • Use multiple measures including student growth as significant factor • Are used to evaluate on a regular basis • Provide clear, timely, and useful feedback • Are used to inform personnel decisions

4. Where Are We Today with the KEEP Evaluation System?

5. Districts Have Chosen Their Evaluation Systems for 2013-2014 As of October 22, 2013 – 280 districts have submitted their Assurances Form 277 districts have had their Assurances Form approved 91 districts will be using the KEEP Repository 152 districts will be using vendors 48 districts will be using locally created evaluation systems

10. The Evaluation Process TEACHER The constructs to be measured in the evaluation instrument: Construct 1: Learner and Learning Construct 2: Content Knowledge Construct 3: Instructional Practice Construct 4: Professional Responsibility

11. The Evaluation Process TEACHER The constructs to be measured in the evaluation instrument: Construct 1: Learner and Learning Construct 2: Content Knowledge Construct 3: Instructional Practice Construct 4: Professional Responsibility

12. Evaluation Goal Selection • District Goals • Building Goals • Individual Goals • It is recommended that each Educator selects 2 goals per evaluation cycle: • A district or building level goal, • A personal goal mutually agreed upon by the Evaluator and the Evaluatee.

13. Evaluating the Teacher and the Building Leader • Thinking through and discussing the Process - readiness per year? • Goals Selected • Multiple Measures selected? • Timeline for Evaluation? • 1 Cycle • 2 Cycles

14. Teacher Process • Required Steps • Implementation Ideas

15. Building Leader Process • Required Steps • Implementation Ideas

16. Teacher Assessment Rubric

17. Building Leader Rubric

18. Inter-Rater Reliability DEFINITION: Reliability refers to the consistency of an assessment. VALIDITY vs. RELIABILITY: Factual vs. Consistent EXPECTATION: School district evaluators attend professional learning activities that address the issue of reliability relative to using the KEEP Rubrics. The same expectations apply to districts using an evaluation system other than KEEP.

37. NEW !! KEEP Guided Practicehttp://training.ksde.org/keep/trainingportal/web/index.htm • New Online Training 24/7 • Individualized and Repeatable • Will include multiple forms of Learning • Will be available from a link on the KEEP Webpage • To be Released in July 2013 • Must enable JAVA

38. What is Coming and What Needs to Be Prepared for Next Year?? • Discussions about Goal setting and whether to set building or district Goals through the evaluation process • Discussions about what you would like to work better in the KEEP Repository • Discussions about Measures that are currently used and any Measures that will be used in the future • Discussions about adding Student Growth Measures to the Evaluation Process for next year

39. Multiple Student Growth Measures

40. Multiple Measures • Must include state assessments as expected • Include assessment measures currently in use in your district • Shared credit/responsibility for student growth • Time for student growth 1-4 years

41. Multiple Measures Small Group Activity – Share Measures You Currently Use • Get into small groups of 3-4 • Handout for each small group • Talk about the grades, subjects, and measures that you currently use • Write these down on the paper/chart • Choose a person to report out • Report out to the larger group

42. Sample Measures by KSDE from the Field

43. Sample Measures for Building Leaders Evaluation Contact Log Discipline Data Dual Credit Course Enrollment Engagement with families Extended Learning Opportunities Graduation Rates Increased # of research-based instructional practices implemented Instructional Coach - # of times in the classroom Involvement in professional organizations # of students involved in extra-curricular activities Number of students who went to college Parent Involvement • Percent of growth of Program-Enrollment/Participation • Amount of time engaged with data material online products • Anecdotal Notes • Artifacts • Attendance Data • Awards and Accomplishments • PE Attendance • Career Readiness/Success Rates past Graduation • Building test Scores • Report Card Data • Classroom Observations Performed • Climate Surveys • Communication of Professional Information

44. Multiple Measures Recent Developments • Focus Groups provided a list of possible measures • KSDE collaborates with REL to modify list of measures - Collected • KSDE will identify a “default list” of measures – See Measures Chart • KSDE will identify a “default matrix” of significant – See Examples • KSDE Flexibility Waiver work

45. Multiple Measures Currently Used Examples Use Multiple Measures including student growth as significant factor. State Assessments must be used. Other Default Measures May Include: • Student Portfolio’s • Common Assessments • MAPS • Lexile Reading Scores

46. Other Multiple Measures We are looking at data that measures more than just academic preparedness, such as 21st Century Skills Critical Thinking Employability Technical Skills SBoE has previously approved the College and Career Ready definition.

47. Builder Leaders and District Leaders Co-Construct the Educator Evaluation Multiple Measures District Selections – from default list or KSDE other approved measures Validation – REL, KSDE content area specialists, or LEA able to meet valid and reliable criteria Significant Student Growth Determining significant – Matrix, Other Samples Establishing timeline for growth – Student Growth Percentile

48. Defining Significant

49. Significance Definition • The change in student achievement for an individual student between two points in time, determined using multiple measures • To include gains and progress toward post-secondary and workforce readiness • To include progress in academic and functional goals in an individualized education program or meeting academic student growth objectives

50. 5th Grade Curriculum Standards 85% Grade Level Expectation 85% Assuming 85% of students exiting 4th grade accomplished 4th grade curriculum, the expectation would be at least the same amount of growth would occur by completion of the 5th grade, or on any given measure used. Example: In a class of 24 students, 20 students would be above the Grade Level Expectation line by the end of the Academic Year. 24 x .85 = 20.2 This scenario would indicate significance.
