  2. Welcome and Introductions Sue Anderson, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Pete Bylsma, Mukilteo School District Nasue Nishida, Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession Holli Hanson, Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession

  3. Webinar Run-Down • Overview of the Student Perception Project • Process for developing student perception items for WA educators • Access to the student perception items • Questions

  4. Student Perception ProjectOverview

  5. Project Overview Project Purpose: Explore student perception data, surveys and tools that collect and analyze these data and grow our overall understanding of how student perceptions can be used to inform educator practice. • 8 school districts • Arlington • Bellingham • Camas • Davenport • Fife • Tumwater • Steilacoom • Pullman • 2 year project + 1 year development • Explore vendor surveys and learn about student perceptions

  6. Why Collect Student Perceptions? • Grow educators’ knowledge of students and how they think. • Refine and grow educator practice. • Understand more robust, valid, reliable and systematic ways of collecting perception data that is meaningful and relevant to educator practice. • Meet the state evaluation law in two areas – multiple measures and student input. The law states that student growth data “must be based on multiple measures that can include classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools” (RCW 28A.405.100(2)(f) and that “student input may also be included in the evaluation process” (RCW 28A.405.100(2)(g)).

  7. What We Learned • The closer student perception data is connected to a teacher’s evaluation, the more private the information will be. • Student surveys that make connections to instructional frameworks are useful. • Flexibility in giving teachers opportunity to choose the survey questions is important. • Student surveys for primary grades are important and wanted. • Student surveys by vendors cost $$$$$.

  8. Process for Developing SP Items

  9. Development Process Process: • Contracted with two survey experts • Convened 3 educator workgroups based on instructional frameworks to develop and select items • Pre-tested items • Piloted items

  10. Survey Development Process • Identified framework-related concepts students could rate • Reviewed items in existing surveys for alignment to frameworks • Identified gaps where more items were needed • Created new items, simplified/clarified existing items • Initial total = 359 items (some fit multiple frameworks) • CEL = 111 • Danielson = 91 • Marzano = 157 • Determined survey structure (statements, 5-point Likert scale)

  11. Survey Development Process • Drafted pre-test for small group “cognitive labs” with students to understand their thinking and experience as they took survey • Removed problematic/redundant items, simplified terms • Administered updated/shorter surveys for larger-scale pilot • Example of survey item “I know what high quality work looks like.” CEL 5D+, P5 Danielson, 3d (Marzano 1.1 has similar item) Scale ranges from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree

  12. Survey Content

  13. Example of Items – CEL 5D

  14. Example of Survey Items - Danielson

  16. Pilot Information

  17. Teacher Response Thank you for making this survey available. My students are the best judge of my practice- they see the good, the bad and the ugly! I went over the results with them and asked them for ideas on how I can improve. It has been an awesome experience. Thank you SO much for doing this! I have my students reflect on my classes twice a year. I’m super excited to dig into this! This has been a wonderful tool and the best conversation focus, ever. There is a lot to learn from this data!

  19. Access to SP Items

  20. eVAL • Teachers can access the bank of survey items in eVAL. • District-wide use of eVAL is not required but access must be granted to teachers on EDS (by the district’s Data Security Manager). Information and Access: http://esd113.screenstepslive.com/s/eval/m/80387
