  1. Superintendent Professional Growth and Effectiveness System

  2. Superintendent Professional Growth and Effectiveness System (SPGES) • A companion system complimenting Teacher and Principal Professional Growth and Effectiveness Systems • Driving a model of Professional Growth and learning for all Kentucky educators • Professional Growth and Effectiveness for Kentucky superintendents based on common clearly defined standards

  3. History of the development of Superintendent PGES • Commissioner Holliday met with Superintendent Advisory Council Spring 2013 • Discussed urgency to improve transparency and effectiveness in superintendent evaluations across Kentucky • Result – Superintendent Advisory Council (SAC) recommended the incorporation of three specific components into current evaluation process across Kentucky

  4. Superintendent Advisory Council Recommended: • Incorporate critical superintendent/board conversations into existing Kentucky superintendent evaluation systems • Upload assurances into ASSIST as evidence of critical conversations • Development of a new superintendent effectiveness system by December 2014

  5. SAC Recommendations 1 and 2 Critical conversations and the role of ASSIST

  6. Superintendent Evaluation Report for ASSIST Review and discuss with board in openmeeting(s) and document in board minutes: 1. District delivery targets – • student proficiency • college/career-readiness • graduation rates • closing achievement gaps • whether processes are in place to implement PGES for all certified staff in 2014-15

  7. Superintendent Evaluation Report for ASSIST 2. Resource/support systems -- effectiveness and efficiency of district operations • balanced operating budget • district resources leveraged to: • attain the best use • improve learning • compliance with legal policy standards • district budget and resources communicated to board

  8. Superintendent Evaluation Report for ASSIST 3. Facilities and resources • district performance on TELL survey in these areas

  9. Superintendent Evaluation Timetable • By December 20, 2013: Board and superintendent discuss three components in open meeting and complete the Superintendent Evaluation Diagnostic in ASSIST; upload board minutes documenting discussion of three components. Completed by 173 Supts. • Spring/Summer 2014: During summative evaluation in open meeting, discuss progress and performance on three components; complete Superintendent Evaluation Diagnostic in ASSIST; upload documentation.

  10. Future of Superintendent Evaluation Reportfor ASSIST • At the recommendation of the SPGES Steering Committee, the Superintendent Evaluation Report for ASSIST will become an annual component of the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan titled “Superintendent Assurances.” • This process will capture the superintendent/board conversations on an annual basis. • Training and support material development for Kentucky superintendents is now underway.

  13. Next-Generation Superintendent Effectiveness System Steering Committee (NxGESSESC) KDE created the committee in August 2013 with the following membership: • Terri Cox-Cruey, Superintendent, Kenton County Schools • Jim Evans, Superintendent, Lee County Schools • Bob Rogers, Superintendent, Murray Independent Schools • Owens Saylor, Superintendent, Daviess County Schools • Henry Webb, Superintendent, Floyd County Schools • Wayne Young, Kentucky Association of School Administrators • Rhonda Caldwell, Kentucky Association of School Administrators • Lu Young, Fayette County Schools • Wilson Sears, Kentucky Association of School Superintendents • David Baird, Kentucky School Boards Association • Kerri Schelling, Kentucky School Boards Association • Dianne Mackey, Daviess County Local School Board Member • Jo Sabol, West Point Independent Local School Board Member • George Wilson, Green River Regional Educational Cooperative • Robert Brown, Educational Professional Standards Board • Bob King, Council on Postsecondary Education • Tommy Floyd, Chief of Staff, Kentucky Department of Education

  14. Charge to Next-Generation Superintendent Effectiveness System Steering Committee (NxGSESSC) Utilize existing work of new superintendent training process: The original design team for Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA) New Superintendent Training Standards and Indicators conducted crosswalk of existing Superintendent related standards: • North Carolina Standards for Superintendents (2007) • The Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning’s (McRel) School district leadership that works: the effect of superintendent leadership on student achievement(2006) • ISLLC Standards – Educational Leadership Policy Standards as adopted by the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA) • The Kentucky School Boards Association’s (KSBA) Performance Planning and Review for Superintendent Evaluationand • AdvancEd’sStandards for Quality School Systems. • The resulting Pilot Kentucky Next-Generation Superintendent Effectiveness Standards represent a synthesis of those competencies and skills found across these key bodies of work organized around seven leadership performance standards.

  15. Next-Generation Superintendent Effectiveness System Steering Committee (NxGSESSC) • Charge – Create a SPGES for Kentucky Superintendent Evaluation • Committee met on the following dates: • August 15, 2013 • October 17, 2013 • December 16, 2013 • February 12, 2014 • March 17, 2014 • April 9, 2014 – KBE Reviewed the final recommendations

  16. Next-Generation Superintendent Effectiveness System Steering Committee (NxGESSESC) • Products and recommendations to KBE • Formative Superintendent Leadership Plan (SLP) document • Summative SPGES documentfor collection of reflections • Rubric for a locally developed tool/document • Next steps • Continued collaboration in planning for training with:

  17. Superintendent Leadership Plan (SLP)

  18. SLP – Document arranged in Standards and Indicators by Performance Levels • Standard – Language describes action by superintendent regarding district effectiveness in specified area – Broad category. • Indicator – Provides example behaviors demonstrated by the superintendent related to the standard above • Performance level - language by indicator to capture current progress of Superintendent

  19. SPGES Performance Levels Recommended bySteering Committee The following designations will be used to indicate the progress of a superintendent toward the seven standards and their indicators:

  20. Standards and Indicators Example -Standard 2 Instructional Leadership SLP Screen Shot

  21. Superintendent PGES Example Process • Using the SLP – Superintendent conducts self-assessment and reflects on standards and indicators vs. own performance levels • Individual board members use SLP to reflect on superintendent progress on standards and indicators vs. performance levels – also consider previous areas of emphasis on earlier evaluations with experienced superintendents • Entire board and superintendent meet to discuss individual reflection/assessment results – (Some boards may prefer that results are compiled by board chair or board attorney and then discussed with superintendent) • Board and superintendent collectively develop area(s) of emphasis for professional growth plan (PGP)

  22. Superintendent PGES example process continued… • Superintendent undertakes PGP and begins to collect and retain evidence toward area(s) of emphasis (standards) identified in PGP • Superintendent shares collected evidences with board throughout year to demonstrate efforts toward increased competencies in areas of emphasis. • According to existing district timeline for superintendent evaluations, board considers and incorporates submitted superintendent evidences into superintendent annual performance evaluation using SPGES summative document. • Board collectively determines superintendent performance levels in established areas of emphasis for annual evaluation

  23. Summative SPGES document Performance Levels: The following designations will be used to indicate the progress of a superintendent toward the seven standards and their indicators: Exemplary: Exceeds the standard Accomplished: Meets the standard Developing: Makes growth toward meeting the standard Growth Required: Area(s) required to be addressed in the Professional Growth Plan

  24. Important Concepts in SPGES • Self-Assessment • Reflect on Standards • Discussion with board formatively • Consensus on area(s) of emphasis • PGP development • Competency model through evidence • Period sharing of evidence with board • Summative cycle on evidence collected in area(s) of emphasis

  25. Explanation of Rubric for Locally-Developed Tool At a minimum, the locally developed format will: • Include a formative document (superintendent leadership plan) and a summative document • Be clearly established on and aligned to research-based, common standards (i.e., steering committee work equivalence) • Allow for a competency/growth model (i.e., steering committee work equivalence) • Include performance-based, non-numerical, superintendent performance levels (i.e., steering committee work equivalence)

  26. Explanation of Rubric for Locally-Developed Tool Continued… At a minimum, the locally developed format will: • Allow opportunities for superintendent-provided evidence in standards of emphasis • Support superintendent self-reflection and self-evaluation process • Support superintendent/board collaborative identification of standards for emphasis • Establish clear growth goals in targeted areas for superintendent evidences

  27. SPGES Timeline (anticipated): • April-June 2014 – SPGES document(s) and alignment rubric in final form • July 2014 – Letter to superintendents and board chairs on preference for SPGES or locally developed system • December 2014 – Districts to notify department choice of SPGES or locally developed system • 2014-15 – SPGES statewide pilot • 2015-16 – SPGES statewide implementation

  28. Next Steps… Continued collaboration with: • Kentucky School Boards Association • Coordination of school board member training on the process and its implementation. • Kentucky Association of School Superintendents • Ongoing professional development for existing superintendents through feedback • Kentucky Association of School Administrators • Coordination of process feedback with new superintendent training and experienced superintendent needs • Council on Postsecondary Education and Educational Professional Standards Board • Coordination on areas of emphasis based on feedback
