21. SY12-13 Reporting • Early Fall 2013 • District/School Reporting and Projections • Later Fall 2013 • PVAAS Teacher Reporting • Pilot Year – Does NOT count towards 1st 3 year average for Educator Effectiveness

22. Primary New Reporting/Changes • New Reporting • Keystone Value-Added Reporting • Keystone Diagnostic Reporting • Projections to Keystones • “Decision Dashboard” • Concept: Consolidating Information • No need for Excel template in fall training • Changes in Reporting • Reset Base Year • Grades 4-8, Math and Reading • No 3 year average in Fall 2013 reporting

23. Implications Discussed • Development and modification of all materials related to district/school reporting • In development now • 32 Help Files; 19 Virtual Learning Modules • Fall PD Materials • Other Resources/Materials • Development of PVAAS roster verification system, PVAAS teacher reporting system, communications, materials and supports • In development now

24. Implications Discussed • Need for “staggered” professional development by PVAAS Statewide Team • Distribute resources between district/school reporting and teacher reporting • Time and People • Training Schedule

25. Considerations • Connectedness of PVAAS Teacher-Specific Reporting as PART OF the system of value-added/growth reporting • System of information to inform continuous improvement • District-School-Grade-Subject-Subgroup-Teacher Specific • We still have not mastered the “one size does not fit all” approach to training

26. Next Steps • Developing draft plan for SY13-14 • Would like feedback from 8-10 IUs • Jen and Joan will touch base with draft plan • Tentative Plan: Start Scheduling in February
