WELCOME Professional Growth and Evaluation System
Progress of Work • History • Overview • Timeline
Background • Wallace work • Race to the Top • Practitioner input to develop rubrics
Guidance • Teacher and Principal Effectiveness Steering Committee(s) (KASA, KSBA, KEA, JCTA, CPE, colleges and universities, EPSB, parents, and individual teachers, principals and superintendents).
PARADIGM SHIFT • Transitioning from Teacher & Principal Quality to Teacher & Principal Effectiveness • Grassroots effort to develop teacher & principal expectations • Holistic approach to determining teacher & principal effectiveness
PARADIGM SHIFT • Use student data to inform evaluation • Meet mandates associated with federal funding • Validity and reliability study • Maintain teacher protections
Characteristics of the New System Moves the discussion from teacher quality (as measured by degrees/rank) to teacher & leader effectiveness (are students learning?) Focuses on teacher and principal professional growth; is fair and equitable to those being evaluated
Characteristics of the New System • Developed through a collaborative, inclusive and transparent process • Comprehensive/holistic approach incorporating multiple measures.
What progress has been made to date? • Through a focus group process, 25 volunteer districts recommended changes to the initial and subsequent rubrics over the course of 2010-11. A design team of KDE, KLA*, and Education Partners incorporated those changes to create revised version(s) of the rubric. • The recommended changes were submitted to the steering committees on three separate occasions for review and additional recommendations, using a focus group cycle to receive input. A professional development initiative within the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA).
Progress to Date: Implementation Cycle The feedback loop provided local districts and steering committee members the opportunity to inform the work at each stage of the process.
Progress to Date: Guidance from Experts • James Stronge (2-day training, April 2011; review of rubric), Charlotte Danielson, Robert Pianta, Doug Reeves, Jon Saphier, Laura Goe • Experts on the Val-Ed* 360 degree component of the principal rubric are scheduled to be brought in to work with the principal effectiveness steering committee • and volunteer districts. The Vanderbilt Assessment for Leadership in EducationTM (VAL-ED) is a research- based evaluation tool that measures the effectiveness of school leaders by providing a detailed assessment of a principal's performance.
Next Steps: Development Work • Continued steering committee and volunteer district meetings scheduled for the upcoming year. • Revisions to the rubric will continue based on data gleaned from initial focus group and steering committee work. • Large-scale field-testing will occur during the 2011-2012 school year. • Communication of the status of the work to interested parties through presentations to organizations will continue (KASA, NMSA, KAAC, KSBA, OVEC, KEDC, CKEC).
Rubric Discussion • Clarify What questions do you have? • Value What have you found that you like? • Support How does this support your current work?
