  1. THE college ready promise Advisory Panel Meeting #4May 2012 “Having a high-quality teacher over four consecutive years could close the achievement gap.” – Daniel Fallon, Brookings Institute

  2. Norms We will: • Work to solve problems. • Honor all ideas and voices. • Do what we say we will do when we say we will do it. • Have an “all for one, one for all” attitude. • Show respect through punctuality and active listening. (no cell phones/email)

  3. Agenda Agenda: Objective: Survey Buzz & Quick Updates (10 mins) SGP Cut Points & Determining Initial Effectiveness Level (50 mins) Career Path (20 mins) Febreze & the Purple Planet (25 mins) Closing & Survey (15 mins) Panelists will share experience with student/peer surveys and learn TCRP updates. Panelists will review and provide feedback on pending SGP and Effectiveness level policy decisions. Panelists will review and provide feedback on draft of Career Path matrix. Panelists will discuss “Cues and Rewards” to increase use of the PP. Panelists complete survey.

  4. What’s the Buzz? (5 min) QUICK CHECK: Please list “+s” and “ ‘s” on the survey matrix provided.

  5. Quick Updates (5 mins)

  6. Agenda Agenda: Objective: Survey Buzz & Quick Updates (10 mins) SGP Cut Points & Determining Initial Effectiveness Level (50 mins) Career Path (20 mins) Febreze & the Purple Planet (25 mins) Closing & Survey (15 mins) Panelists will share experience with student/peer surveys and learn of newly launched PP supports. Panelists will review and provide feedback on pending SGP and Effectiveness level policy decisions. Panelists will review and provide feedback on draft of Career Path matrix. Panelists will discuss “Cues and Rewards” to increase use of the PP. Panelists complete survey.

  7. Issue 1: SGP Cut Points • Rationale: • Low Growth < 40 • Moderate Growth 41-60 • High Growth 61-100

  8. Issue 2: A teacher’s annual median SGP Yearly Reporting: • Option A: “Pool” SGPs across subjects/grades • Option B: Allow teachers to choose their “highest” SGP from subjects taught

  9. Yearly reporting of a teacher’s median SGP Multiple SGPs based on subjects/courses taught.

  10. Issue 3: A teacher’s median SGP over multiple years Reporting Multiple Years of SGP for Evaluation Purposes • Option A: “Pool” SGPs across subjects/grades from multiple years • Option B: Allow teachers to choose their “highest” SGP from prior 2 years

  11. Issue 4: Formal Observation Cut Points

  12. Issue 5: Overall Effectiveness Level Individual SGP generated from CST results (2 years) Determines initial placement Career Continuum Entering ~ Emerging ~ Achieving ~ Highly Effective ~ Master

  13. RECOMMENDATION #4: Formal Observation Cut Points * Based on % of 29 indicators rated as part of formal observation process.

  14. RECOMMENDATION #5: Overall Effectiveness Level How are SGP and Formal Observation scores combined to determine a teacher’s initial effectiveness level? (Fall 2013) NOTE: We’ll use informal observation, student, parent, and peer survey data to inform final placement on effectiveness scale.

  15. Overall Effectiveness Level How are SGP and Formal Observation scores combined to determine a teacher’s initial effectiveness level? (Fall 2013) NOTE: We’ll use informal observation, student, parent, and peer survey data to inform final placement on effectiveness scale.

  16. Overall Effectiveness Level How are SGP and Formal Observation scores combined to determine a teacher’s initial effectiveness level? (Fall 2013) NOTE: We’ll use informal observation, student, parent, and peer survey data to inform final placement on effectiveness scale.

  19. How do we recognize our great teachers? The Career Path!

  20. TCRP Career Path

  21. Round Robin Share Think: What is your reaction to the TCRP Career Path matrix? Jot: Write down glows, concerns, or questions. Round Robin Share: Taking turns, share one idea that you wrote down. Continue sharing until time runs out.

  22. Other Options? • Opportunities to see other schools/districts • Formal team teaching & learning • Self-directed professional development budget • Participation in a network-wide Master Teacher Cohort • Opportunities to observe high performing schools and teachers regionally or nationally • Preferred access to special PD experiences • Special luncheon • Teach Plus • Hope Street Group Fellow • America Achieves Education Champions Fellow • Student Achievement Partner Fellow

  23. What are your thoughts? What are other ways to recognize our teachers along the Career Path?

  24. Agenda Agenda: Objective: Survey Buzz & Quick Updates (10 mins) SGP Cut Points & Determining Initial Effectiveness Level (50 mins) Career Path (20 mins) Febreze & the Purple Planet (25 mins) Closing & Survey (15 mins) Panelists will share experience with student/peer surveys and learn of newly launched PP supports. Panelists will review and provide feedback on pending SGP and Effectiveness level policy decisions. Panelists will review and provide feedback on draft of Career Path matrix. Panelists will discuss “Cues and Rewards” to increase use of the PP. Panelists complete survey.

  25. The Problem • Teachers and Principals and Coaches have asked (rightly so) that we make sure that TCRP is not just evaluation and feedback tools but support tools too. • We thought up the “Purple Planet” (originally the staircase) and found Jason Lange who happened to be dreaming up his first company. • Though it’s taken longer than we hoped, we will roll it out this summer. • Now we are terrified nobody will use it(!)

  26. Can Febreze help?

  27. The Story • The “New York Times” did an article on Target and market research • It’s largely an article about figuring out why people form habits when they form them • One part of the story is about Febreze…

  28. Febreze created a great product and cigarette smells It completely eliminated pet odor

  29. But nobody was buying it And they learned that most people with pets and cigarettes didn’t notice the smells So the marketers went into the field to figure out why

  30. So then they studied people And asked, “When do you us it?” (trying to understand their habit) Who actually were buying Febreze…

  31. They found a pattern: Reward? Why do I do that (use Febreze)? “It’s like a little celebration – Yea, I am done cleaning that room!” (like checking things off your to do list – so little but so pleasurable somehow!) Cue: When do I do that habit (use Febreze)? “I use it after cleaning a room – I just spritz it a few times to make the room smell nice.”

  32. So what is the connection to us? Two questions: If habits are easier to form (or break!) when we know the cues and identify the rewards we think we are getting from them, then: • What would help us develop more “smart habits” or “effective teaching moves” in our classrooms? (BIG -- for later conversation) • What would help us begin to use the Purple Planet and get the support we think they’ll find there? (Smaller -- for now)

  33. Questions to consider REWARDS WHAT would feel like a reward? • Some message from a colleague or your principal or coach or… • Some image or graph showing your progress or…? CUES WHEN would you use Purple Planet: • Right after formal? • Right before informal? • Right before PLP? • Right after PLP? • During team time? • During staff meeting time? • In 1:1 with coach or Lead or colleague or…? • After you figured out how to be really good at something might you log on to share what you figured out?

  34. What are your thoughts? Think Pair Share Thanks for thinking about this!!
