  3. Teacher Keys Effectiveness System Teacher Assessment Performance Standards (TAPS) • Professional Knowledge • Instructional Planning • Instructional Strategies • Differentiated Instruction • Assessment Strategies • Assessment Uses • Positive Learning Environment • Academically Challenging Environment • Professionalism • Communication

  4. Leader Keys Effectiveness System

  5. Leader Keys Effectiveness System Leader Assessment Performance Standards (LAPS) • Instructional Leadership • School Climate • Planning and Assessment • Organizational Management • Human Resource Management • Teacher Staff Evaluation • Professionalism • Communication and Community Relations

  6. Teacher Keys Effectiveness System Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM) 2014 - 2015 Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) (Observation Data) 2014 - 2015 Student Growth 2013-2014 50% of TEM Score 50% of TEM Score

  7. Leader Keys Effectiveness System Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) 2014 - 2015 Leader Assessment on Performance Standards (LAPS) (Observation Data) 2014 - 2015 Student Growth, Academic Achievement and Achievement Gap Reduction 2013-2014 30% of LEM Score 70% of LEM Score

  8. TAPS Component • Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) component of TKES provides evaluators with a qualitative, rubrics-based evaluation method for measuring teacher performance related to ten quality performance standards that are scored from 0 to 3. (sum score can range from 0-30)

  9. SGP Component • Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) measure of student growth for core state-tested subjects. A growth percentile can range from 1 to 99. • In 2014, SGPs were produced for the CRCTs (grades 4-8 reading, ELA, math, science, and social studies) and EOCTs. • In 2014, the mean SGP performance for all tested courses taught by the teacher was used in calculating the TEM.

  10. SLO Component • SLOs have been developed by APS for all teachers of non-tested courses. (e.g., art, music, physical education) • About three-fourths of APS teachers teach non-tested subjects for at least some portion of the instructional day. • In 2013-2014, all teachers of non-tested courses were required to have at least one growth measure. • In 2014-2015, all teachers must have two growth measures. They may be a combination of SGP (i.e., Georgia Milestones) and SLO courses. • In order to fulfill this requirement, APS has developed over 300 SLO assessments. 10

  11. Growth Target (for SLOs) • The target for individual student growth is 30%. • The target for a teacher is 80%. (i.e., of students making 30% growth) 11

  12. SLO Component

  13. Teacher Effectiveness Measure Matrix • As noted, the Teacher Effectiveness Measure rating scale has four levels: Exemplary, Proficient, Needs Development, or Ineffective. Overall TAPS Rating

  14. Leader Effectiveness Measure Matrix • LKES has three dimensions: LAPS, Student Growth, and Gap Reduction. • The Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) has the same four levels as the teacher scale: Exemplary, Proficient, Needs Development, or Ineffective.

  15. Leader Effectiveness Measure Table • LKES has three dimensions: LAPS, Student Growth, and Gap Reduction. • The Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) has the same four levels as the teacher scale: Exemplary, Proficient, Needs Development, or Ineffective.

  16. History • In 2010, the State of Georgia received $400 million in competitive Race-to-the-Top (RT3) grant funds to promote student growth. • Atlanta Public Schools is one of Georgia’s 26 Race-to-the-Top (RT3) districts. • As a participant APS aligned to Georgia’s RT3 scope of work and received $39 million RT3 funds.

  17. APS Received RT3 Funds – $39 Million

  18. What is Merit Pay? • Merit pay is a GA RT3 scope of work requirement that RT3 districts provide a one-time payment to individual teachers and school administrators based on student growth and overall performance. • As an RT3 district, APS allocated $1,565,000 for merit pay from the initial $39 million provided by the GADOE. • APS must spend all of the set-aside allocation for merit pay on individual teachers and school administrators.

  19. How is APS Implementing Merit Pay? The $1,565,000 allocated for merit pay will be disbursed in three tiers. Tier 1: We are required by the GADOE to pay teachers ($2500) and administrators ($2300) a set amount based on individuals scoring in the top 10% of the Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM) and Leader Effectiveness Measure (LEM) of the district. Tier 2: The district will pay $2500 to teachers who receive a Level IV on the TAPS summative rating and do not have a TEM score. Tier 3: Remaining funds will be evenly distributed in an amount no less than $1000 to teachers who score in the next grouping of highest scoring teachers (11%-30%) on TEM.

  20. Eligibility Requirements for Merit Pay As a Race to the Top district, APS Charter schools are eligible to receive merit pay.
