Professionalism • View Video… Chapter 3: Professionalism
Scoring P.7 • To improve fair and consistent scoring across the district, only teachers in formal teacher leadership roles should be scored on P.7 this year • Teacher Leadership Academy and Differentiated Roles Pilot • The indicator was revised to reflect teacher leader roles and responsibilities, and may not capture the other types of leadership work that teachers do in their building

Student Perceptions • Analyzing data from a 2012-13 pilot where teachers chose an additional class to administer SPS to see if there were statistically significant differences in overall scores • A teacher must have at least 5 students take SPS for data to be included in the report

Student Outcomes • View Video… Chapter 5: Student Outcomes
Student Outcomes • The Student Outcomes measures for 2013-14 will include: • Growth portions from the School Performance Framework (for all teachers). • The last three years of TCAP data (as available), in the following grades/content areas: • 4th – 10th grade reading, writing, and math • 10th grade ACT • Student Growth Objectives (SGOs), while not part of LEAP, will continue to be used as part of teacher End-of-Year Conversations. * Note: Since student outcomes data will not be available until the fall, overall teacher LEAP ratings will not be finalized until the fall of 2014. We are working with CDE to determine how this can be improved in the future.
Student Outcomes • Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)will be used as part of the new Standards rollout. • SLOs will not be included in 2013-14 Student Outcomes ratings but will be included beginning in 2014-15 • For this year: • Informational training for all schools • Up to 20 schools opt in to pilot SLOs • 3 schools in an intensive pilot (working with the CU Boulder and the Center for Assessment)
SLOs vs. SGOs • Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) will be different from SGOs in the following ways: • SLOs must be aligned with new curriculum standards. • SLOs will be based on common district assessments, where available, and teacher- and team-created assessments. • SLOs change the degree of difficulty and increase rigor for students. They also provide a broader scale for accomplishment (not just “met” or “not met”). • SLOs will be used with all grades and content areas.
