  1. Teacher Evaluation Phase IIIAugust 7 and 8, 2012 Rosanne Javorsky and Dr. Patricia DiRienzo rosanne.javorsky@aiu3.net patricia.dirienzo@aiu3.net

  2. Collaborative Code • Silence electronic devices • Minimize the use of those devices during presentations and activities • Observe the time frames and signals • Limit sidebar conversations • Keep your materials organized

  3. Project Development - Goal • To develop a teacher effectiveness model that: • will reform the way we evaluate teachers • and identify critical components of teacher training and professional growth

  4. Project Development - Background • $800,000 Gates Foundation grant to facilitate the development of statewide policy, tools and processes to evaluate teachers and principals in which student achievement is a significant factor affecting performance ratings • PDE is closely following the work of the Pittsburgh Public Schools – PPS recipients of $40 million Gates Foundation grant that is more comprehensive in scope but similar in redesigning evaluation policy, tools and processes

  5. 2010-2011 Phase I The following were pilot sites for Phase I: Allentown School District Cornell School District Mohawk School District IU5 – Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit

  6. 2011-2012 Phase II • Participation Levels • 85 Districts • 11 CTCs • 11 IUs • 8 Charters

  7. 2011-2012 Phase II • Beginning in January, 2012 • One formal observation and one walk-through observation per participating teacher • Reporting the Evidence • Evidence collected and shared with Mathematica – not PDE

  8. 2012-2013 Phase III • Participants consist of: • Volunteer Districts • RTTT Districts • SIG Schools

  9. 2012-2013 Phase III • Volunteer District Requirements: • Choose the number of schools, administrators and teachers to be involved • One Observation and one walkthrough with each participating teacher • Collect data using PDE tools and submit to Mathematica

  10. 2012-2013 Phase III • RTTT District Requirements: • District-wide participation in both teacher and principal effectiveness • 3 year phased-in commitment as outlined by the Performance Measures (see RTTT LEA Grant Guidelines, Participant Resources, Pg. 8) • One observation and one walkthrough with each participating teacher • Collect data using PDE tools and submit to Mathematica

  11. 2012-2013 Phase III • SIG School Requirements: • School-wide participation in both teacher and principal effectiveness • One observation and one walkthrough with each participating teacher • Collect data using PDE tools and submit to Mathematica

  12. Next Steps – Value-Added Models – (15%) • Mathematica Policy Research Proposal • Develop value-added models (VAMs) for estimating the contribution of individual teachers and principals to growth in student achievement. • Provide estimates based on VAMs for teacher and principal evaluation. • Assess the strength of relationships between VAM-based and observation-based measures of performance, to inform decisions about which observation-based measures should be included and how to evaluate teachers in non-tested grades and subjects. • Develop and calculate summary performance indicators across value-added measures and between value-added and other measures. • Synthesize the findings in annual reports that document the model’s continual development over time.

  13. Next Steps – Teacher Reports and Student-Teacher Linkages (15%) • Teacher value-added reports for individual teachers by grade/subject/year using a robust statistical report. • Teacher diagnostic reports for insight on effectiveness with students by achievement level and subgroup. • Administrator summary reports for authorized users in a particular school or district. • Drill down capacity to individual student-level projections based on classroom rosters. • Teacher-level value-added reports require student-teacher linkages, which capture the instructor(s) responsible for a student’s learning in the tested grade/subject. It is critical that this linkage system provide accurate information that is validated by individual teachers. • Web-based teacher reporting for PSSA grades 4-8 • Web-based teacher reporting for PSSA grades 4-8 and Keystone Exams

  14. Multiple Measures of Teacher Evaluation - Anticipated Evidence (50%) • Principal/Supervisor classroom observations, including evidence that demonstrates behaviors associated with improving student achievement: • Domains (Danielson’s Framework for Teaching) • Planning and preparation • Classroom environment • Instruction • Professional responsibilities

  15. Teacher Evaluation Rubric • 4 Domains • 22 Components • 4 Levels of Performance for each component • Unsatisfactory • Progressing/Needs Improvement • Proficient • Distinguished

  16. Questions or Comments?

  17. Introduction to the Domains OBJECTIVES: Participants will learn… • How their thinking about good teaching compares to the framework we will use. • That the Framework represents good common sense, and much that we already know, about teaching. • The form and content of Domains 1, 2, 3 and 4.

  18. Having an Impact • If we want to impact student achievement and growth… • Then we must impact teaching and learning • And of course, we know what good teaching is…

  19. Worksheet #1- Pg.3Participant Materials Let’s begin by collecting our thinking about good teaching.

  20. Wisdom of Practice What are the qualities of teaching most tightly tied to student learning?
