  1. APPR for Librarians Jim Belair School Library System, Monroe 2 Orleans BOCES Judy Marsh School Library System, Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES April 26, 2013 NYLA/SSL Conference Rochester, NY

  2. What is APPR? • Annual Professional Performance Review • Race to the Top (RttT) • NY State Mandated

  3. Getting to 100 Points

  4. Statedetermines the following for comparable growth measures: • The overall SLO framework • Requirements in the context of Regulations: • Which teachers must set SLOs and which teachers must have State-provided growth measures. • Which assessments must be used, and which are allowable options. • Scoring: • The scoring ranges and categories for the measures of student growth subcomponent. • Rules for scoring SLOs that include a State-provided growth measure. • Rules for scoring multiple SLOs.

  5. Districtsdetermine the following: • Assess and identify unique priorities and needs. • Identify who will have State-provided growth measures and who must have SLOs as “comparable growth measures”. • Rules for how specific SLOs will get set. • Expectations for scoring SLOs and for determining teacher ratings for the growth component. • Processes for setting, reviewing, and assessing SLOs in schools. • Ensure that assessments are not scored by teachers and principals with a vested interest in the outcome • Address assessment security issues. • Establish which decisions are made at the District level vs. in schools by principals, and/or principals with teachers. • Provide or arrange for training to lead evaluators.

  6. Schoolsdetermine the following: • Implement State and District-determined processes. • Make choices as needed when District leaves flexibility to schools. • Ensure that lead evaluator approves each teacher’s goals and monitors/assesses results. • Ensure all assessments are secure • Ensure assessments, including those used as evidence for SLOs, are not scored by teachers and principals with a vested interest in the outcome of the assessment they score.

  7. Teachersdetermine the following: • Propose, in consultation with lead evaluator, SLOs and targets based on District and school requirements. • Obtain all possible data on students to best inform baseline, starting level of student learning. • Reflect on student learning results and consider implications for future practice.

  8. What about Librarians? • See “Guidance on NY State’s Annual Professional Performance Review for Teachers and Principals” August 13, 2012 pg. 20-21 • Beginning 2012/2013 librarians, as classroom teachers, are subject to the new law • It is up to the district to decide if a librarian is considered a Teacher of Record

  9. Teacher of Record • Primarily & directly responsible for students’ learning activities that are aligned to performance measures of a course • Usually listed on students ‘ schedules • Usually take attendance

  10. Important to note… • This can change between now and September • Librarians are still in a state of limbo! • From Educator Eval System e-mail (dated 4/18/2013): The law requires that all classroom teachers be evaluated under the new law.  Since school librarians are considered classroom teachers, “[librarians] are, therefore, subject to the new law beginning in the 2012-2013 school year (See the APPR Guidance Document, B3 posted on EngageNY at http://engageny.org/resource/appr-planning).  This language does not indicate that this requirement will change going forward nor does it indicate that this requirement is only for the 2012-2013 school year, so librarians will be subject to the law in 2013-2014.    

  11. SLMPE Rubric • School Library Media Program Evaluation • NOT TO BE USED FOR APPR • Does not use HEDI Scale! • Purpose is to: • Set goals • Improve library program • Foster communication with administration

  12. NYLA-SSL / SLSA Rubric • http://usny.nysed.gov/rttt/teachers-leaders/practicerubrics/#ATPR • Under Teacher and Principal Practice Rubrics • Aligned with goals of Common Core Standards • Aligned with NYS Teaching Standards • Aligned with Danielson, but meatier • Aligned with SLMPE rubric • NYSUT approved • The only subject specific rubric on the RttT website

  13. 7 Categories in Rubric • Knowledge of Students & Student Learning • Knowledge of Content & Instructional Planning • Instructional Practice: Teaching for Learning • Learning Environment • Assessment for Student Learning • Collaboration & Professional Responsibilities • Professional Growth

  14. Additional Rubric Info • Not yet widely used • Sue Kowalski & Paige Jaeger will be recording an APPR webinar on April 30th to be posted on the NYLA site. The scoring guide will be delivered to NYSED for inclusion. • In May the package will be complete. • This is tied to Collective Bargaining Negotiations

  15. You can use this! • Great self-evaluation tool • Will help you identify areas in which you can improve • Work with your district administration and union to have this adopted

  16. Let’s look at the Rubric • What are 3 VIPs (Very Important Points) • What aren’t you doing that you could be doing? • Be prepared to share: • One important point • One thing you can do that you are not doing

  17. How to track this • Make a folder for each domain • Put items into each folder throughout the course of year • Handouts, Websites, Lesson Plans, Student Artifacts, Meeting Minutes… • Do it digitally • Same as above! • Make sure you have a scanner • Idea- as you assemble the folders, share the info with your teachers- you will help them and encourage more collaboration!
