  3. SAFE-T Summative ADEPT Formal Evaluation of Classroom-Based Teachers

  4. SAFE-T • . . .is to be used to formally evaluate classroom-based teachers. • . . .is not to be used to evaluate school guidance counselors, library media specialists, or speech-language therapists. These groups of educators have separate ADEPT Performance Standards and evaluation models.

  5. SAFE-T • . . .is the most recent ADEPT formal (summative) evaluation model for classroom-based teachers. • . . . is replacing the original evaluation models: • TEAM • STEP • FEAT • TEP • etc.

  6. SAFE-T . . . is based on • four domains (Planning, Instruction, Environment, and Professionalism), • ten ADEPT Performance Standards (APSs), and • 34 key elements.

  7. Planning Domain APS 1: Long-Range Planning (5 key elements) APS 2: Short-Range Planning (3 key elements) APS 3: Planning Assessments & Using Data (3 key elements)

  8. Instruction Domain APS 4: High Expectations for Learners (3 key elements) APS 5: Instructional Strategies (3 key elements) APS 6: Content (3 key elements) APS 7: Monitoring, Assessing, and Enhancing Learning (3 key elements)

  9. Environment Domain APS 8: Maintaining an Environment That Promotes Learning (3 key elements) APS 9: Managing the Classroom (3 key elements)

  10. Professionalism Domain APS 10: Fulfilling Professional Responsibilities (5 key elements)

  11. SAFE-T Domains and APSs

  12. SAFE-T Evidence • Evidence is the documentation of teaching performance. • SAFE-T templates--i.e., standardized guides for recording evidence--are available: • Teacher templates (TTs) for teachers • Evaluator templates (ETs) for evaluators • SAFE-T includes six types of evidence.

  13. SAFE-T Evidence • Long-range plan and teacher reflections [TT1] • Unit work sample and teacher reflections [TT2] • Classroom observation records [ET1] • Teacher reflections on observed lessons [TT3] • Professional performance review(s) [ET2] • Professional self-assessment [TT4]

  14. SAFE-T Evidence • All completed evidence is placed in a dossier. • Judgments are based on the evidence contained in the dossier.

  15. Which SAFE-T results will be used? • Your preliminary evaluation results are intended to serve as a sort of “mid-term progress report” for you. • Only your final evaluation results are reported to the state.

  16. Passing SAFE-T In order to “pass” SAFE-T, you must meet the requirements in all four domains: • In the Planning Domain, you must meet at least 10 of the 11 key elements. • In the Instruction Domain, you must meet at least 11 of the 12 key elements. • In the Environment Domain, you must meet at least 5 of the 6 key elements. • In the Professionalism Domain, you must meet at least 4 of the 5 key elements.

  17. How will my SAFE-T results be used? Your SAFE-T results will be used for different purposes, depending on your • certificate level • contract level, and • previous performance.

  18. How will my SAFE-T results be used? If you (1) hold an initial teaching certificate (or the equivalent), (2) are employed under an annual contract, and (3) are undergoing SAFE-T for the first time, then • if you pass SAFE-T, you will have met the ADEPT requirements for eligibility to advance to a professional teaching certificate and a continuing contract. • if you do not pass SAFE-T, you will be eligible to attempt SAFE-T one additional time during a subsequent academic year, either in your present school district or in another school district in the state. You must pass SAFE-T in order to be eligible for certificate and contract advancement.

  19. How will my SAFE-T results be used? If you (1) hold a professional teaching certificate based on out-of-state reciprocity, (2) are employed under an annual contract, and (3) are undergoing SAFE-T for the first time, then • if you pass SAFE-T, you will have met the ADEPT requirements for eligibility to advance to a continuing contract. • if you do not pass SAFE-T, you will be eligible to attempt SAFE-T one additional time during a subsequent academic year, either in your present school district or in another school district in the state. You will be allowed up to two attempts pass SAFE-T in order to be eligible for contract advancement.

  20. How will my SAFE-T results be used? If you (1) hold an initial teaching certificate (or the equivalent), (2) are employed under an annual contract, and (3) have failed an ADEPT formal evaluation during a previous school year, then • if you pass SAFE-T, you will have met the ADEPT requirements for eligibility to advance to a professional teaching certificate and a continuing contract. • if you do not pass SAFE-T, the state must suspend your teaching certificate for a minimum of two years, and you will need to complete additional course work, as specified by the state, in order to have your certificate reinstated.

  21. How will my SAFE-T results be used? If you (1) hold a professional teaching certificate and (2) are employed under a continuing contract, your district may use your final SAFE-T results as a factor in determining your eligibility for continued employment in the district.

  22. SAFE-T Information To help you prepare to successfully complete SAFE-T, you should receive the following additional information/materials: • SAFE-T Guide for Teachers and Evaluators • Electronic copies of the teacher templates (TTs) • Your district’s SAFE-T calendar • The names of the members of your evaluation team
