Option B and C

• Currently, we do not know who can receive Option B and C.

• We do not have the Summative Ratings at this time.

• Time to think about it!• We hope to have all Student Growth results in

and applied to Summative ratings in September.

Pause

• Take a moment to reflect on the differences between Option B and Option C.

• What are the similarities? Differences?• Given the Option for either one, would you

take it, or not?

Individual Professional Development Plan

• Request by teachers and administrators serving on the Oversight Committee and IPDP sub committee to continue to clarify the rubric and provide training that will help with consistency across the district• Changes have been made to the rubric • Training to be provided during school-based inservice

• Goal of the training• Understanding of the changes• Explain the IPDP process• Provide opportunities for rating collaboration

IPDP FYI

• SB1664 one word “Require” to “May” • However– Race to the Top agreement states that the IPDP will be a

metric in our “multi-metric system”– State Board of Education Protocol Standards for

Professional Development include IPDP requirements

• DOEs ultimate goal is to revise policies so that goals can be achieved in a variety of ways (IPDP or PLC process, for example)

• IPDPs will still be completed for the 13/14 school year

FYI: More about SB1664

Classroom teachers •For the 13/14 School Year, student growth can only be applied based on students served•No School VAM for Classroom Teachers for 13/14•Can Use-

• Direct Measurements (FCAT, Alg I, FAA, IB, AICE, AP, Dual Enrollment, Brigance, Industry Certification, SAT 10, PERT)

• Indirect Measurements (FCAT Reading VAM based on students who took FCAT but not in an FCAT course, i.e. science)

Non-classroom teachers•Can use School VAM for Student Growth

FYI: 2013 Framework for Teaching

• Intent of each item remains the same• Provides examples for each component as well as critical

attributes (guidance for observers)• AIMS will continue to reflect the 2007 version; however, the

2013 version will be used in training to clarify components and calibrate teacher ratings provided by administrators

• Will not be uploaded to AIMS because Teachscape owns the digital rights

• All stakeholders are encouraged to download the Framework and use it as a reference guide http://www.danielsongroup.org/userfiles/files/downloads/2013EvaluationInstrument.pdf
