  6. Review Introduction to the CLASS Keys Teacher Evaluation System Process Guide Pages 7 – 9

  7. The CLASS Keys Evaluation System is designed to: • Evaluate classroom teachers using qualitative rubrics to assess their instructional practices. • Evaluate classroom teachers on the basis of the academic gains of their students. • Engage teachers in their own assessment and professional growth. • Increase the quantity and quality of feedback that teachers receive from their evaluator(s). • Use an array of evidence collected over time to assess teacher performance and student learning.

  8. The Five Strands of CLASS Keys

  9. CLASS Keys Strands and Elements

  10. STRAND STANDARD ELEMENT ASSESSMENT - The collecting and analyzing of student performance data to identify patterns of achievement and underachievement in order to design and implement appropriate instructional interventions. CONTINUUM OF IMPROVEMENT RUBRIC

  11. Review Three Phases of the CLASS Keys Teacher Evaluation System Process Guide Page 10

  12. Three Phases of the CLASS Keys Process Pre-Evaluation Phase • Element/Strand Evaluation 1 • GTDR Evaluation FEEDBACK • Overall Evaluation 3 • Self Assessment /Reflection CLASS KEYS • Professional Growth Plan • Pre-Evaluation Conference FEEDBACK Annual Evaluation Phase 2 FEEDBACK Evidence Collection Phase • Informal Observations • Formal Observation • Other Evidence Collection

  13. Review CLASS Keys Phase I Steps Process Guide Pages 11 – 17 Examples on Pages 41 – 52

  14. Self Assessment/Reflection: Teachers self-assess and reflect on their performance of the elements. • Professional Growth Plan: Teachers design a PGP to improve their performance on the elements. • Pre-Evaluation Conference: Teachers and evaluators meet to review the PGP, set student achievement goals, and clarify expectations of the elements and duties and responsibilities. 1 Pre-Evaluation Phase

  15. X X X X Module 5: Pre-Evaluation Conference

  16. Review CLASS Keys Phase II Steps Process Guide Pages 19 – 21 Examples on Pages 53 – 60

  17. Informal Observations: Evaluators conduct two, 5 to 15-minute, unannounced classroom observations to assess a few elements. • Formal Observation: Evaluators conduct a 30 to 50-minute announced classroom observation to assess as many elements as possible. • Other Evidence Collection: Evaluators collect evidence from sources such as conferences, meetings, planning and professional learning sessions, examination of student and adult products, etc. 2 Evidence Collection Phase

  18. Formative Analysis for CLASS Keys

  19. Review CLASS Keys Phase III Steps Process Guide Pages 23 – 32 Examples on Pages 61 – 80

  20. Element/Strand Evaluation: Evaluators review the evidence collected and score the teacher’s performance on the rubrics. • When the element scores are aggregated, all strands must be scored at least at the EMERGING level. • GTDR Evaluation: The reviewed performance on all duties and responsibilities must be satisfactory to receive an overall SATISFACTORY scoring. • Overall Evaluation: Both sections, the Strands and GTDR, must receive a SATISFACTORY scoring for a teacher to receive a satisfactory annual evaluation. 3 Annual Evaluation Phase
