Learning Gains Orientation
Instructional Silos
• The goal of developing Instructional Silos is to place teachers in sub-groups of similar teaching assignments as equitably and as fairly as possible.
• For example, World History teachers will be grouped with other World History teachers and not with Language Arts teachers.
Instructional Silos
• Due to the new district assessment process, teacher silos will be updated this year to reflect current teaching assignments and district assessment categories.
• “School-Wide Silos” will continue to be used for instructional personnel without students directly scheduled (Guidance Counselor, Media Spec, etc.)
• Semester 2 student schedules will be utilized when developing district instructional silos
• Silo development will include consideration of the teacher assignment within the district
Instructional Silos – cont.
• Instructional personnel will be divided into grade levels: Elementary, Middle, High School
• Once divided into grade levels, teachers will be sub-divided into instructional groups (silos) based on their primary teaching assignment
• Prior to the end of the 3rd quarter, Principals and teachers may meet to confirm and/or reconcile silo assignments
We appreciate everyone’s effort in making this process work as well as possible.
Learning Gains
Plan Policies:
• Learning gains will make up 75% of final score.
• FCAT scores will be used where applicable (grades/ subjects tested by FCAT)
• SAT-10 scores will be used where applicable (grades K-2)
• Courses/areas not related to FCAT/SAT-10 subjects or grade levels, will utilize District Pre/Post Tests
Learning GainsPlan Policies (continued):
• Gains for teachers without students assigned will be based on school-wide FCAT scores.
• Students assigned to teachers at Survey 3 time (February) will be included.
• Only students enrolled in the same school in October and February will be included.
• Only students with both pre and post-test scores will be included.
Learning Gains
Gains Calculation:
Step 1: Achievement level of students on pre and post-test is determined.
Step 2: Total points for each teacher are determined by placing student scores in a value table.
