New Teacher Induction

1. New Teacher Induction

2. Walton County School District Teacher Evaluation System

3. Summative Evaluation Measurements • 3 Components: • Administrative Evaluation (Instructional Practice) • Deliberate Practice • Student Proficiency Measure • Each component counts as 1/3 of the summative Evaluation Measurement

4. Administrative Evaluation Instructional Practice

5. Teacher Evaluation System • WCSD Evaluation System developed from Copeland model • Based on research from: • John Hattie • Charlotte Danielson • Robert Marzano • FEAPs

6. Administrative Evaluation • Based on 4 domains: • Domain 1: Planning/Preparation • Domain 2: Classroom Management • Domain 3: Direct Instruction • Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities • Domain 2 and 3 must be observed • FEAPs Aligned (see crosswalk)

7. Teacher Observations • First year teachers and teachers new to Walton County must receive two formal evaluations per year • Teachers who have been with Walton County for more than one year must receive only one formal evaluation • Each evaluation must include at least one formal observation. • Must be at least 30 minutes in length • Must be scheduled 48 hours in advance

8. Lesson Walkthroughs • Administrators may conduct informal walkthroughs at anytime during the year. • Walkthroughs: • Are for the purpose of providing instructional feedback • Will only review domains 2 and 3 • Do not require prior notice • May last for any length of time

9. Final Evaluation Ratings • The WCSD Teacher Evaluation System is holistic • Administrators will consider all evidence collected throughout the year before determining the final rating of each indicator. • Teachers should collect artifacts throughout the year to show proof of proficiency in domains 1 and 4. • Administrators will review previous walkthrough data to determine ratings in domains 2 and 3. • The ratings in each domain will determine the final evaluation rating and score. • Visit http://www.walton.k12.fl.us/index.cfm?p=instruction-evaluation-guideand for specific details on evaluation domain calculations.

10. Final Evaluation Rating • Unsatisfactory: 0 – 55 • Needs Improvement: 56 – 113 • Effective: 114 – 140 • Highly Effective: 141 - 160

11. Deliberate Practice

12. DP Purpose • The DP was designed to allow teachers to have input into their evaluation. • DP goals are teacher created and Principal approved. • DP goals must be based on teaching responsibilities. • Administrators may require additional goals based on previous evaluation data

13. Setting Goals • Teachers may choose up to 4 goals. • Goals should be: • Specific • Measureable • Attainable • Realistic • Timely

14. SMART Goals • Goals will include the current level of performance, a SMART data driven target, and the practices that will change as a result of the new learning. 49% of my students scored on grade level on their 2016 8th grade FSA math assessment. By May of 2017, 54% of my students will score on grade level on the Algebra I EOC.In order to assist students with performing on grade level, small group instruction will be implemented in order to provide differentiated instruction at least once weekly.

15. Professional Learning • Teachers will choose professional learning activities to assist them in meeting their goal(s). • The DP refers to these activities as progress points. • Completing progress points is essential to receiving a highly effective rating on the DP portion of the teacher evaluation.

16. DP Ratings • Ratings are determined based on: • Percentage of goals achieved • Percentage of professional learning activities completed (progress points) • 100% of progress points must be completed to be highly effective • Unsatisfactory: 0 – 55 • Needs Improvement: 56 – 113 • Effective: 114 – 140 • Highly Effective: 141 - 160

17. Student Performance Measure

18. What are student performance measures? • Florida Statute requires school districts to count student data as at least 1/3 of each teacher’s evaluation. • Performance measures can be broken down into: • State Measure – Calculated and produced by FLDOE • Local Measures – Calculated local by Walton County School District

19. State Measures • FLDOE has adopted the Value Added Model (VAM) • VAM scores are produced for roughly 1/3 of our teaching population: • ELA/Reading courses in grades 4-10 • Math courses in grades 4-8 • Algebra I in grades 8 and 9 VAM Video

20. Local Measures • Local Measures are based on: • STAR Enterprise Reading, Math and Early Literacy Assessments • Florida Alternative Assessment • FCAT 2.0 5th Grade Science • FCAT 2.0 8th Grade Science • Civics EOC • Biology EOC • US History EOC • Geometry EOC • Algebra II EOC • Algebra I EOC for grades other than 8 and 9

21. Local Measures • Each assessment used for a local measure is based on teaching assignment. • See Chart

22. STAR Taking the Test

23. STAR • Progress Monitoring in Reading and Math • STAR is administered up to 4 times a year • Mandatory • August/September • January/February • April May • School-Based Decision • October/November

24. Progress Monitoring and Statute • Florida Statute 1008.25 requires one of three things for students showing deficiencies in reading and/or math: • A federally required student plan, such as an IEP • An individual progress monitoring plan • The student is monitored through a schoolwide system of progress monitoring • STAR allows us to satisfy the 3rd option
