  2. Rhode Island Is Ready Foundation For Bold Action Constituency Support Strong, Unified Leadership

  3. Rhode Island’s Theory of Action All students will achieve at high levels when: • We have an effective teacher in every classroom and an effective leader in every school. AND • Teachers and school leaders are supported by student-centered systems. All Students Achieve Effective Educators, Relentlessly Supported Student-Centered Systems and Policies

  4. Ready to Act A Student Achievement Breakthrough Strength of Regulation and Policy Clarity of Purpose Proven Capacity to Execute

  5. Rhode Island’s Bold, Actionable Goals • Increase high school graduation rate to 87%. • Cut achievement gaps in half. • Ensure that no child will have two ineffective teachers in a row. All Students Achieve Effective Educators, Relentlessly Supported High-Quality Educators Who Are Well Supported Student-Centered Systems and Policies

  6. Goal: Distribute Effective Teachers Equitably How we achieve our goal of ensuring that no child experiences 2 years of ineffective teaching: • Districts evaluate all educators annually. • The state sends a list of students in classes with ineffective teachers to every district. • Districts manage teacher assignments tailored to student need and teacher expertise. • The state monitors the extent to which districts use evaluation data to manage their personnel systems. Of course, we see this as only a first step toward all students receiving an effective teacher every year, but it is a first step that no state has yet taken.

  7. Our Focus: Great Teachers and Leaders Rhode Island is small enough to reach every educator multiple times per year with: • Ambitious professional development • Supportive leadership • A culture that insists upon effectiveness • Powerful new tools and data The intensive support we will provide to our 11 high-need districts will reach 76% of our disadvantaged students.

  8. Continuum of Professional Support and Accountability All Students Achieve Fair and actionable feedback Informed by evaluation data Stronger candidates Comprehensive support Based on student needs Coherent and targeted Supportand Develop Recruit and Select Induct Evaluate Certify Prepare Career Ladder

  9. Supportive and Decisive We intensively support teachers and administrators to become highly effective, but if they don’t become effective, we are uniquely empowered to take action: • After 2 years of ineffective evaluations, an educator cannot be retained by the district. • After 5 years of ineffective evaluations, the state will not renew certification to practice in Rhode Island.

  10. State and District Actions  Results Example: Statewide Educator Evaluation Dramatically Accelerate Student Achievement Uses Data/Feedback Customizes Growth Plan Implements Evaluation Training Collects & Uses Data HR Decisions Co-Designs/Designs Manages Human Capital System Data System Reporting Standards Co-Design Data System Implementation Support
