  4. Intended Outcomes 4 • Participants will understanding the new educator evaluation framework, including: • The evaluation framework’s two ratings • The new performance standards and aligned rubrics • The 5-Step Cycle of Evaluation Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  5. Context Effective teachers and leaders matter No other school-based factor has as great an influence on student achievement as an effective teacher. Effective leaders create the conditions that enable powerful teaching and learning to occur. Therefore, ensuring that every child is taught by effective teachers and attends a school that is led by an effective leader is key to preparing all students for success after high school. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  6. The evaluation framework helps schools and districts support teachers and leaders by: Encouraging them to reflect upon and take an active role in improving their teaching/leadership practices Providing them with timely, relevant feedback and guidance Every educator in an ESE-licensed position will be evaluated Context Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  7. The Evaluation Framework’s Two Ratings Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  8. Two Ratings • Every educator will eventually receive two ratings: *Most districts will not begin issuing Impact Ratings before the 2014-2015 school year. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  9. Summative Performance Rating Rating reflects: • Performance based on Standards and Indicators of Effective Practice • Progress toward educator goals Summative Performance Rating • Evidence includes: • Multiple measures of student learning, growth and achievement • Judgments based on observations and artifacts of professional practice • Additional evidence relevant to Standards (student/staff feedback) Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  10. Performance Rubrics All districts will evaluate educators using a rigorous and comprehensive performance rubric aligned to the Standards and Indicators. Summative Performance Rating Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  11. Summative Performance Rating Standards & Indicators * Standards requiring proficient rating or above to achieve overall rating of proficient or above Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  12. A 4-Point Scale Summative Performance Rating Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  13. Summative Performance Rating Model Rubric Excerpt Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  14. Summative Performance Rating Determining Your Educator Plan Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  15. Summative Performance Rating 4 Types of Educator Plans • Developing Educator Plan For educators without Professional Teaching Status, administrators in the first three years in a district, or at the discretion of an evaluator for an educator in a new assignment; one school year or less in length • Self-Directed Growth Plan For experienced educators rated Proficient or Exemplary on their last evaluation; these plans can be one or two school years in length • Directed Growth Plan For educators rated Needs Improvement on their last evaluation; up to one school year in length • Improvement Plan For educators rated Unsatisfactory on their last evaluation; min. of 30 calendar days, up to one school year in length Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  16. 5-Step Evaluation Cycle - Timeframe 16 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  17. Student Impact Rating Evidence must include: • State-wide growth measures, where available (e.g. MCAS student growth percentiles, ACCESS scores) • District-determined measures comparable across the district for all educators in the same grade or content area Impact Rating on Student Performance • Rating reflects: • At least 2 years of data from which trends and patterns can be identified *Most districts will not begin issuing Impact Ratings before the 2014-2015 school year. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  18. Impact Rating on Student Performance Determining Plan Duration Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  19. Impact Rating on Student Performance Student Impact Rating • The Student Impact Rating must be based on at least 2 years of data across multiple measures, and therefore is unlikely to be issued until the following years: • Level 4 districts: 2014-2015 school year • All other districts: 2015-2016 school year • Districts will begin identifying and piloting district-determined measures* in 2013 *For more information on district-determined measures, see Part VII: Rating Educator Impact on Student Learning Using District-Determined Measures of Student Learning

  20. The 5-Step Evaluation Cycle A Step-by-Step Review Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  21. Continuous Learning 5 Step Evaluation Cycle • Every educator is an active participant in their own evaluation • Process promotes collaboration and continuous learning Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  22. Step 1: Self-Assessment • Educators self-assess their performance using: • Student data, and • Performance rubric • Educators propose goals related to their professional practice and student learning needs Part II: School Level Guide Pages 14-22 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  23. Step 2: Analysis, Goal Setting and Plan Development • Educators set S.M.A.R.T. goals: • Student learning goal • Professional practice goal (Aligned to the Standards and Indicators of Effective Practice) • Educators are required to consider team goals Part II: School Level Guide Pages 23-31 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  24. Step 2: Analysis, Goal Setting and Plan Development • The educator plan is based on S.M.A.R.T. goals. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  25. Step 3: Implementation of the Plan • Educator completes the planned action steps of his/her plan • Educator and evaluator collect evidence of practice and goal progress, including: • Multiple measures of student learning • Observations and artifacts • Additional evidence related to performance standards • Evaluator provides feedback Part II: School Level Guide Pages 32-39 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  26. Strategic Evidence Collection • Prioritize based on goals and focus areas • Quality not quantity • Artifacts should be “naturally occurring” sources of evidence (e.g. lesson plans) Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  27. Observations • The regulations define Proficient practice with regard to evaluation as including “frequent unannounced visits to classrooms” followed by “targeted and constructive feedback to teachers” (604 CMR 35.04, “Standards and Indicators of Effective Administrative Leadership Practice) • The Model System recommends short, frequent unannounced observations for all educators, as well as at least one announced observation for new educators or educators who are struggling

  28. Step 4: Formative Assessment/ Evaluation • Occurs mid-way through the 5-Step Cycle • Typically Jan/Feb for educators on a 1-year plan (formative assessment) • Typically May/June for educators on a 2-year plan (formative evaluation) • Educator and Evaluator review evidence and assess progress on educator’s goals Part II: School Level Guide Pages 40-47 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  29. Step 5: Summative Evaluation • Evaluator determines an overall summative rating of performance based on: • Comprehensive picture of practice captured through multiple sources of evidence • Summative Performance Rating reflects: • Ratings on each of the four Standards • Progress toward goals Part II: School Level Guide Pages 48-53 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  32. Continuous Learning Every educator is an active participant in the evaluation process Step 2: Every educator proposes at least 1 professional practice goal and 1 student learning goal. Team goals must be considered Step 1: Every educator uses a rubric and data about student learning Step 5: Every educator earns one of four ratings of performance Step 3: Educators and their evaluator collect evidence and assesses progress. Step 4: Every educator has a mid-cycle review Collaboration and Continuous Learning are the focus Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  33. Evaluators Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

  34. Check for Understanding • The new evaluation frameworks require regular evaluations of all educators, including teachers, staff, and administrators • All districts are required to issue Student Impact Ratings this year. • All educators will be evaluated on a 4 point scale. • All educators will have a summative evaluation at the end of each year. • The 5 steps of the evaluation cycle are self-assessment, goal setting/plan development, plan implementation, formative assessment/evaluation, and summative evaluation.
