  2. Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) “Nothing is more important to student success than the effectiveness of teachers and principals. All of us involved in education are proud of the work we do-and we know that we can do better if we have the right tools” NYSED, 2012

  3. AFT/UFT Labor-Management Training • AFT and UFT have partnered to develop and deliver an institute on leading and facilitating school improvement • At the core is the importance of district and union leadership partnering as a team to develop strong instructional plans that result in higher student achievement • GTA Leadership and District Team attended Leadership Institute in NYC facilitated by UFT Teacher Center facilitators • UFT facilitators then came to Greece in April to work with secondary school teams

  5. Teacher Development and Evaluation (TED) What is TED? -An integrated system for advancing teacher growth and student learning Who developed TED? -NYSUT Labor/Management Innovation Initiative Teams Why do we need to know about TED? -Used as a framework for creating the new teacher evaluation (APPR) and professional development

  6. TED framework “Every child deserves a quality teacher in the classroom” • NYS Teaching Standards • NYSUT Rubric • Four Phases of TED • Cycle of Evaluation • Rating and Scoring Teacher Effectiveness • Developing and Supporting Teachers • Conditions of Teaching and Learning Focuses on teachers as participants in, not recipients of, evaluation and professional development

  7. NYSED Adoption Regulations of new APPR adopted by the Board of Regents on March 30, 2012 Known as Education Law 3012-c- NYSED provided a summary of the provisions- the “purple memo” Amended by Chapter 21 of the Laws of 2012

  8. State vs Local Determinations State determined: • Scoring bands for local subcomponents and for the composite score to determine total rating or HEDI: -Highly Effective -Effective -Developing -Ineffective

  9. State vs Local Determinations continued State determined: • Process for assigning points to educators for State Growth or other Comparable Measures Subcomponent • Districts actually determine the points assigned to educators with Student Learning Objectives or SLOs following State guidance

  10. State vs Local Determinations continued Local determinations: • Scoring bands for other measures of effectiveness (60 points) subcomponent • The process for assigning points in locally-selected measures and other measures subcomponents • Teacher and Principal Improvement Plans • Appeals process
