  6. Team Expectations • Teamwork divides the task and doubles the success. • Unknown • Today’s focus: • Understand the changes and new features of DPAS II (R) Component V • Share this information and support implementation back in your schools

  7. Goal 1: Understand the DPASII(R) Evaluation System for Components I-V for the 2012-13 School Year

  8. Understanding DPAS II (R): Components I-IV

  9. Understanding DPAS II(R): Components I-IV What changed in 2011-2012? • Use of rubrics during the evaluation process to guide discussion and appraisal • Addition of “expectations” and definition of recommendation versus expectation • Added classroom assessment criterion in Teacher and Specialist Components 1 and 3 • Shifted to Component 4 being assessed throughout the evaluation process • Created DOE Supports/Structures: DOE monitoring of DPAS II documentation, Development Coaches, & Expert Evaluators

  10. Understanding DPAS II(R): Components I-IV What’s new in 2012-2013? • Educators should continue to move forward with Components I-IV, building upon the rigor/focus from last year. • Component V as described here today, and its overall impact on an educator’s evaluation, is the major shift in DPAS II (R) for 2012-2013.

  11. Goal 2: Review the Policies and Implementation of Component V

  12. Background: How we got here… • National Conversation… • Race to the Top… • Educator involvement…

  13. Understanding DPAS II(R): Component V • Purpose/Philosophy • Focus on building a school climate where everyone is focused on the improvement of student achievement. • Bringing back a focus on conferences and conversation between educators and administrators.

  14. Understanding policy and implementation for Component V. • What’s New? • Three Educator Groups • Three Measures

  15. Who are the educator groups? • Teacher of Record – The teacher of record is a full-time teacher, as defined in the DPAS II regulation 106A (revised), who has been assigned the primary responsibility for a student’s learning in a course/class, provided the student has been enrolled at least 85% of the time that the class is in session.

  16. Examples • I am a third grade teacher of record for 22 students – which group? • I am a ninth grade science teacher of record for 6 different classes – which group? • I am a fourth grade special education teacher in a TAM classroom – which group? • I am a second grade Music teacher who only reports “S” or “U” for students – which group?

  17. What are the three (3) types of Measures? • MEASURE A • MEASURE B • MEASURE C

  18. Measure A • Based upon DCAS instructional scale scores for reading and/or math in grades three (3) through ten (10)

  19. Measure B • Two (2) different assessments • External Assessment • DDOE approved, standardized assessments that can be used at the discretion of the district • DIBELS, STAR Math, STAR Reading • Internal Assessment • DDOE approved, educator developed assessments specific to subject and grade level • Pre/Post Student Assessments

  20. Measure C • Growth Goals • DDOE approved, educator developed goals • Specific to content area and/or job assignment • Includes a mix of: student growth and professional outcomes

  21. How do we match educator groups to the measures?

  22. Group I Educators and Measures • Group I Teachers: • MUST use a minimum of two (2) measures • MUST use Measure A for all students assessed by DCAS in reading and/or math for grades three (3) through (10) • MUSTuse at least one (1) Measure B • Measure A and Measure B weighted 50% each

  23. Group II Educators and Measures • Group II Teachers: • MUST use a minimum of four (4) measures • MUST use at least one (1) Measure B and one (1) Measure C • Measure B and Measure C weighted 50% each

  24. Group III Educators and Measures • Group III Educators: • MUST use a minimum of four (4) Measure C’s • Measure C weighted 100%

  25. Examples • I am a third grade teacher of record for 22 students – Group 1, which measures? • I am a ninth grade science teacher of record for 6 different classes – Group 2, which measures? • I am a fourth grade special education teacher in a TAM classroom – Group 1, which measures? • I am a second grade Music teacher who only reports “S” or “U” for students – Group 2, which measures?

  26. Other Considerations • Alternative Internal Measures • Internal Measure Rubric will serve as a guide to provide feedback about the alternative measure. • Form must be submitted to DDOE for approval • Alternative Growth Goal Measures • Growth Goal Template used as a guide for development of alternative growth goal(s).

  27. DPAS II Ratings • Remember… • Criterion Ratings • Unsatisfactory, Basic, Proficient, Distinguished • Component I-IV Ratings • Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory • Component V Ratings • Exceeds, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory • Summative Ratings • Highly Effective, Effective, Needs Improvement, Ineffective • Component V acts as a gate-keeper

  28. How will Measure A be rated?

  29. How are Measure A Growth Targets set? • Growth Targets will be provided by the Department of Education • For the 2012-13 school years, Growth Targets will be determined based on DCAS instructional scale score growth achieved by “similar students” in 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years. • Similar students are: • Students in the same grade and subject • Same fall score • Same ELL (English Language Learner) • Same SWD (Student with Disability); or, • Non-SWD/ELL • Students who achieve PL4s in the spring will count as having met their growth targets for that school year.

  30. How will Measure B and C be rated?

  31. How are Measure B and Measure C Growth Targets set? • Based on professional conversations between the administrator and educator • Agree upon measures used • Agree upon a “satisfactory” target and an “exceeds” target

  32. Example for Measure B • In the Fall, administrator and educator agreed upon: • Grade 2 ELA pre/post assessment • 80% of the targeted group will show improvement in fluency within the last six weeks of the school year as compared to the first six weeks of the school year. • Achievement ranges: • Exceeds: 90% of all students received a 70 or higher on the spring post-test compared to 55% receiving a 70 or higher on the fall pre-test. • Satisfactory: 80% of all students received a 70 or higher on the spring post-test compared to 55% receiving a 70 or higher on the fall pre-test.

  33. Example for Measure C • In the Fall, administrator and educator agreed upon: • Standard 5 – Implementation (for access to learning) • Indicator – Absences Due to Illness • Students will demonstrate decreased absenteeism • Target Goal: 50% improvement – Number of students showing improvement at the end of selected time divided by total number of students in cohort • Achievement ranges: • Exceeds: 60% of targeted number of students showing improvement at the end of the selected time period compared to the beginning time period (i.e., current school year compared to previous school year or identified marking period) • Satisfactory: 50% of targeted number of students showing improvement at the end of the selected time period compared to the beginning time period

  34. Component Five Ratings

  35. Summative Ratings

  36. How does my Component V rating impact my Evaluation in a year when my evaluator does not complete a Summative Evaluation for me? • Novice educators receive a full evaluation cycle annually (complete Summative).  • A previous year's Summative Evaluation rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Ineffective" mandates a Summative Evaluation for that educator be completed the following year.  • LEAs have the option of conducting Summative Evaluations for all educators on a annual basis.

  37. How does my Component V rating impact my Evaluation in a year when my evaluator does not complete a Summative Evaluation for me? • For Experienced educators, Regulation 106A denotes that only when a Summative Evaluation is completed can Component V impact the educator's summative rating.   • Component V is conducted, calculated and shared for each educator each year even when a Summative Evaluation is not being completed. • The Department, and LEAs, can promulgate programs that utilize the Component V rating (standing alone) such as the state’s Talent Retention/Attraction program(s).

  38. Goal 3: Understand Tools and Resources for Implementing Component V

  39. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessTeacher of Record The teacher of record is a full-time teacher, as defined in the DPAS II regulation 106A (revised), who has been assigned the responsibility for a student’s learning in a course/class, provided the student has been enrolled at least 85% of the time that the class is in session.

  40. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessMeasures / Target Process Review: Educator Groups • Group 1: Includes any teacher who instructs reading and/or mathematics in DCAS grades three (3) through (10). • Group 2: Includes any teacher who reports student grades in any grade or subject where DCAS reading and math is not administered. • Group 3: Includes any teacher who generally does NOT report student grades and any educator who cannot otherwise be categorized into Groups I or 2.

  41. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessEducator Groups 1 & 2 ONLY: Roster Verification • Due to the nature of Measure A & B and their alignment with student growth, it is necessary to ensure valid class rosters. • Educator Groups 1 & 2 will be measuring student growth across all classes, a class and/or a cohort of students within a class. • To ensure an accurate account of the students an educator is responsible for, it is necessary to verify an educator’s roster.

  42. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessEducator Groups 1 & 2 ONLY: Roster Verification • Teacher reviews class rosters for all classes in PerformancePLUS. • If a student is listed on roster and is not attending class, the teacher will notify the school administrator in writing and request the change(s) be made in eSchool. • Remember, a student attending a program such as SCOPE or PEAK cannot be removed from a teacher’s roster even though they are not attending class. • If this is the case, the teacher should print out roster, note the discrepancy including the reason, and discuss with administrator.

  43. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessMeasures Selection Review: Guidelines Group 1 educators: • MUST use Measure A and at least one (1) Measure B Group 2 educators: • MUST use a minimum of four (4) measures • MUST use at least one (1) Measure B and at least one (1) Measure C Group 3 educators: • MUST use a minimum of four (4) measures • MUST use Measure C

  44. DPAS II(R) Component V ProcessReview: Measures Measure A: • Based upon DCAS instructional scale scores for reading and/or mathematics in grades three (3) through ten (10) Measure B: • Comprisedof two types of alternate measures: 1) internal assessments that are educator-developed and DDOE-approved specific to subjects and grade levels; and 2) external measures that are DDOE-approved and can be used at the discretion of each district. Measure C: • Growth goals are educator-developed and DDOE-approved goals specific to content areas and job assignments.
