5. Model Overview: Accurately Evaluate and Support Support System • Professional Growth Plan • Evaluation Conferences • Ongoing reflection and planning Evaluation Criteria

6. Model Overview: Professional Foundations • Professional Foundations • Holistic scoring at the end of the year based on a preponderance of evidence • Consists of 6 components that are the same as the teacher and administrator Professional Foundations Rubrics

7. At-A-Glance: Professional Foundations

8. Model Overview: Professional Practice • Professional Practice • Unique to the Support Professionals Model • Built upon the standards for all support professionals • Refined with a RI workgroup • Holistic scoring at the end of the year based on a preponderance of evidence • Consists of 8 components

9. At-A-Glance: Professional Practice

10. Model Overview: Student Learning • Student Learning • Follows the same process as teachers and building administrators (eg approval process, number of objectives, and scoring) • Support professionals may select appropriate student learning measures based on their role and conversation with their evaluator • Have the additional option of the Student Outcome Objective

11. Student Learning Effective Instructional Measurement Cycle

12. What is a Student Learning Objective? A Student Learning Objective is a long-term academic goal that educators set for groups of students. Student Learning Objectives can be set for the school year or an interval of instruction appropriate to the teaching assignment (e.g., a single semester for a semester length course). It must be specific and measureable, based on available prior student learning data and information, and aligned with standards, as well as any school and district priorities. Student Learning Objectives should represent the most important learning during an interval of instruction and define a measurable level of progress or mastery that students should attain.

13. Student Learning Objectives consist of content standards, evidence, and targets: The content standards can be CCSS, GSEs/GLEs, or other national standards. The evidence is the assessment(s) used to measure student progress/mastery The target is the numerical goal for student progress/mastery, based on available prior data.

14. What is a Student Outcome Objective? A Student Outcome Objective is a long term goal set by a support professional that is focused on an outcome that increases access to learning. The focus of a Student Outcome Objective is to foster academic success for students. Student Outcome Objectives could be set for the full academic year or an interval of service delivery. It must be specific and measurable, and should be aligned to standards or school or district priorities, where applicable. The evidence used to measure Student Outcome Objectives can focus on the outcome itself or the action taken by the support professional to move a student, a group of students or a school towards the outcome.

The evidence is the assessment(s) used to measureimpact or progress The target is the numerical goal set for students, based on available prior data. Student Outcome Objectives Framing

16. Support Professionals: Student Learning • Student Learning Objective (SLO) • represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction • Aligned to a specific curriculum standard(s) • Educators are required to have a minimum of two SLOs • Student Outcome Objective (SOO) • focused on an outcome that increases access to learning • Aligned to district priority and when appropriate, aligned to specific standard(s) • Support professionals may have a combination of any two SLOs and/or SOOs (eg. One SLO and One SOO; Two SOOs; Two SLOs;) .
