Educator Effectiveness System Overview

1. Educator Effectiveness System Overview Understanding Hawaii’s Educator Effectiveness System

2. Objectives for Today

3. Why a new system? • Historically, evaluation systems have not supported professional growth or improved effectiveness of all teachers • The EES will provide data that supports school improvement and gives teachers tools to make their classroom practice more effective • When done right, a teacher evaluation can help identify and encourage classroom practices that promote real student learning • When teachers succeed, students succeed

4. Goals for EES Year 3

5. The EES Uses Multiple Measures • Student Growth and Learning • Teacher Practice • Hawaii Growth Model • Student Learning Objectives • Classroom Observations • Core Professionalism • Tripod Student Survey • Working Portfolio (non-classroom) • Educator Effectiveness Data • Improved Student Outcomes

14. SGP Is New for Everyone Full EES Implementation

15. Questions Answered by SGP • What is? • What should be? • What could be? • How much growth did a student make since last tested? • How much growth would be enough for a student to meet proficiency standards? • How much growth has been made by students with similar score histories?

16. SGP Data complements SLOs

17. SGP Impacts All Levels Impact

18. Proficiency Measures Status Proficiency metrics measure achievement relative to standards criteria for a given point in time

19. Growth Measures Progress Student growth metrics factor in historical data to measure the pace of progress over time. How do we know if students and schools are making enough progress?

20. Video: What is Growth? Answer the following questions: • What are the fundamentaldifferences between looking at proficiency vs. looking at growth? • How does context influence our interpretation of how well a student has progressed? • What does a growth percentile tell us?

23. SGP Is a Normative Measure A Student Growth Percentile (SGP) defines how much relative growth a student made, compared to the growth of his or her Academic Peer Group

24. Fair Comparisons Are Necessary Maria Martha

25. Fair Comparisons Are Necessary Maria Monica Maria’s sixth grade Student Growth Percentile is determined by comparing her new results against peers with similar score histories.

26. Academic Peer Groups

27. Activity: Experiencing SGP • Use the Student Growth Index Cards • Form a group with all of the “students” with the same 3rd grade scale score – academic peers. • Within your academic peer group get in order by 4th grade scale score. • Turn your cards over and compare your growth percentiles.

28. Interpreting SGP Is Easy 77th In 6th Grade, Maria scored higher than 77% of her academic peers. 99 35 1 65 Low Growth High Growth Typical Growth

29. Each Growth Level Is ≈⅓ of Group

30. Many Reports Are Available

35. Reading a Student Level Report 5th Grade Report

36. Reading a Student Level Report 6th Grade Report

37. Data Limitations Impact Model

38. Student-Level Growth Reports • Show student growth and achievement over time in mathematics and reading. • Include recent grade levels for which assessment results are available. • Indicate low, typical, high growth each year. • Provide growth projections for the next tested grade level.

41. High Growth - Not Proficient

42. High Growth - Proficient

43. Student-Level Reports Help • Flag potential weaknesses in prior knowledge • Alert educators to students at risk of falling far behind • Inform student grouping decisions • Set realistic goals for student performance • Motivate students

44. SGP Classroom-Level Report Exceeds Proficiency Meets Proficiency Approaches Proficiency Well Below Proficiency

45. SGP Classroom-Level Report Median = 42 Exceeds Proficiency Meets Proficiency ApproachesProficiency WellBelowProficiency

46. SGP Classroom-Level Report Low Growth – Proficient High Growth – Proficient Exceeds Proficiency Meets Proficiency Approaches Proficiency Well Below Proficiency Low Growth – Not Proficient High Growth – Not Proficient

47. Using Classroom-Level Reports • Consider from two perspectives: • Different questions guide the data analysis from each perspective

48. Key Takeaways • SGP enriches our understanding of HSA data. • SGP highlights areas of interest, but does not provide a recommended course of action. • Models help us check our assumptions and biases. • New data only helps students if educators access and use it.
