1. Evaluation ChangesSB290 Requirements January 17, 2013

2. SB290 Requirements • New evaluation requirements for all licensed educators, with the goal to improve student academic growth and learning by: • Need to use standards of Professional Practice: • Teachers – INTASC - Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (We have a crosswalk to the Danielson’s model) • Administrators – ISLLC - Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium • Differentiated Performance Levels: • Requires 4 levels – our current model has 4 levels (unsatisfactory, basic, proficient and distinguished)

3. SB290 Requirements • Multiple Measures: Evaluation should include multiple measures from all three categories of evidence: • Professional practice: measures of the quality of a teacher’s planning, delivery of instruction, and assessment of student learning (ex. observations, lesson plans, student work, assessments, RTI data) • Professional responsibilities: measures of the teacher’s progress toward his/her own professional goals and contribution to school-wide goals (ex. professional goals, teacher reflection, setting student growth goals, peer collaboration, meets timelines) • Student learning and growth: quantitative measures of the teacher’s impact on a student (or sets of students) as measured by multiple sources of student data over time

4. SB290 Requirements • Set two goals on student learning and growth from three categories. Student learning goals are required for all licensed staff, even teachers in non-tested (state test) subjects and grades (this includes counselors and TOSAs), and administrators. • State or national standardized assessments (ex. OAKS, ELPA) • Common national, international, regional, district-developed measures (ex. DIBELS, AP) • Classroom-based or school-wide measures (ex. student performances, tests, portfolios)

5. Examples of goals: “Using beginning of year assessment, I will identify the 25% of my kindergarten students with the lowest reading/pre-reading skills and provide targeted instruction so they exit kindergarten with skills no lower than pre-primer level.” Target based on Achievement Compact Target: Low percentage of 9th-graders “on track” GOAL: Increase from 50% to 60% students who have 6 or more credits at the end of 9th grade. Target based on common national measure: Target: Student growth in physical conditioning/ basic skills (elementary PE teacher). GOAL: Increase from 20 to 33% number of students in grades 1-6 scoring 80 or higher on Presidential Fitness Test.
