What do you know? • Define good instruction. • Think…What do you know about Act 82. • Pair…What does a partner think? • Share…What are the generalizations.
Act 82 – June 30, 2012 requires… • Multiple Measures of Teacher Effectiveness – 2013-14 • Observation/Evidence (50%) • Student Achievement (50%) • Multiple Measures of Non-Teaching Professional Employee Effectiveness – 2014-15 • Observation/Evidence (80%) • Student Performance (20%) • Multiple Measures of Principal Effectiveness – 2014-15 • Observation/Evidence (50%) • Student Performance (50%)
The Framework • Create a T chart. • Name the four domains. • Identify the 22 components. • BONUS: A special prize is granted to the first group to correctly identify the 22 components in order.
Non-Teaching Professional Employee Effectiveness beginning in 2014-15 • Educational Specialists • Licensed Professionals – local decision • Individuals working under instructional certifications who do notprovide direct instruction to students 19
Educational Specialists • Educational Specialists are defined in Pennsylvania School Code with the scope of their certificates and assignments described in Certification and Staffing Polices and Guidelines (CSPGs). • Currently CSPG 75 through 81 list the following specialist certifications: • Dental Hygienist • Elementary School Counselor • Home and School Visitor • Instructional Technology Specialist • Secondary School Counselor • School Nurse • School Psychologist • PDE is in the process of working with stakeholder groups from across the Commonwealth to revise the Danielson Framework for Teaching to reflect the specific roles and functions of the identified specialist groups
Licensed Professionals • Given that many LEAs hire licensed professionals under teacher contracts who are not certificated as specialists under Pennsylvania School Code, PDE has made a decision to develop revised Danielson Framework for Teaching rubrics for the following roles: • Occupational Therapist • Physical Therapist • Social Workers • Behavior Analysts • Educational Interpreters • PDE is in the process of working with stakeholder groups from across the Commonwealth to revise the Danielson Framework for Teaching to reflect the specific roles and functions of the identified licensed professionals.
Individuals working under instructional certifications who do not provide direct instruction to students • PDE has made the determination to classify individuals working under instructional certifications who do not provide direct instruction to students as non-teaching professionals as defined in Act 82. Given that they are working under an instructional certification they will be evaluated utilizing the Framework for Teaching. However, the observation component will constitute 80% and the multiple measures component will be 20% of professional’s evaluation. Additionally, they will not be evaluated under Act 82 until the fall of 2014. • Examples • IU TAC hired under a teacher contract • IU Consultants hired under a teacher contract • Instructional/Curriculum coaches • Special education case-managers • Program Coordinators • Itinerant Teachers
