  1. TCRP Teacher Advisory Panel Meeting December 2011 Derrick Chau, VP Instruction Diane Fiello, TCRP Coach http://TCRPalliance.wordpress.com/

  2. Objectives • To share feedback on evaluation ratings options • To learn about the initial process for determining overall teacher evaluation ratings • To provide feedback from your schools on the formal observation process • To explain the current plan for TCRP implementation including career paths and compensation • To review the student survey items and provide feedback

  3. Agenda • Overall teacher evaluation ratings • Feedback on Fall semester formal observations • Timeline for TCRP implementation • Student Survey Items

  4. Teacher Advisory Panel Purpose • Opportunity to learn more about TCRP • Conduit of information to school staffs • Opportunity to shape TCRP systems • Leadership and growth opportunity • Provide critical feedback from many different perspectives (schools, grades, content areas)

  5. Overall Teacher Evaluation Ratings • All teachers are expected to receive mid-year and end-of-year evaluations. • Overall evaluations (especially Domains 1-3) consist of multiple ratings events. • Example: End-of-year overall rating for Domain 2 includes ratings from two formal observations and several unannounced observations • How should the overall teacher evaluation ratings be determined?

  6. Feedback from Teachers • Teacher advisory panel representatives have favored: • Standards-based determination • Uneven weighted determinations

  7. Overall Teacher Evaluation

  8. Overall Teacher Evaluation • The objective of the new teacher evaluation process is to promote and compensate based on high teacher performance and/or teacher growth with student results. • Teachers should be retained if they demonstrate sufficient growth in their practice during the year.

  9. Overall Teacher Evaluation Rating Option 1 Standards-Based Determination • Overall teacher FET ratings are based on a running record throughout the school year. • Ratings from formal observations overwrite prior scores. • Unannounced observations increase or decrease scores by at most .5 points. • Domain 4 evidence (nonobservational) ratings overwrite prior scores during the year

  10. Standards-Based Determination Disadvantages • Overwriting prior scores masks the issue that student achievement may not be directly correlated to overall FET ratings (i.e., do overall FET ratings need to be directly correlated to student achievement?) • Tracking the ratings requires a different system than the existing process. Advantages • This method is similar to the way students’ grades are assigned in Alliance. • Emphasis is placed on overall performance by the end of the year. • Teachers are not penalized for poor initial performance at the beginning of the school year. • Unannounced observation ratings affect overall teacher FET ratings. • Teachers will see changes in their overall FET ratings more frequently

  11. Standards-Based Determination Example

  12. Teacher Evaluation Process DRAFT

  13. Feedback on Teacher Evaluation Process • Using the post-it notes, please write comments/feedback and post on the posters: • What were positive aspects? • What are areas that need additional clarification? • What would you like to learn more about? • What areas do you feel administrators need to improve?

  14. TCRP Timeline

  15. Student Survey Use of the Survey • To provide individual teachers with feedback on students’ perceptions of teachers’ classroom environment and practices • To be included as a component of individual teacher evaluation and compensation Design of the Survey • Each survey should require a maximum of 30 minutes to administer. • Each survey that a student completes will be for one teacher. Survey Item Selection • Each standard (not each indicator) should have at least three survey items. • Items should include responses that are both positive and negative in order to solicit students’ meaningful feedback. Administration of the Survey • Each student is expected to complete at most two teacher surveys. • Survey administration will be for at least 33% of students that a teacher has in their classes. • Students will be randomly selected with an approximately equal number of students from each class for a teacher.

  16. Student Survey Item Feedback • Partner with someone not from your school site • Read through the proposed survey items • Discuss your feedback and observations • Write your combined feedback on separate post-it notes and post • Positive • Recommended Changes • Questions
