Evaluation of Effective Educators: Tools that Can Help

We are building a system to manage and perform Evaluations: Guiding Principles…

• Seek LEA input throughout the process• Build upon existing Educator Information System (EIS)• Operationalize State-wide Model• Enable LEA Flexibility• Provide for a link between evaluations and

professional development• Ensure secure access to protect privacy• Verify privacy of data to ensure LEA ownership

A secure ‘home page’ will display the evaluator’s educators and the status of their evaluations!! You can ‘drill down’ on any component to see the ‘evidence’ or rubric details.

You can define a rubric based upon models such as Charlotte Danielson, you can design your own, or simply use the state rubric based upon state rules.

Hover Text:a. An understanding of how learners develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across the personal, physical, social, and academic dimensions; and

b. The ability to facilitate developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences based on the unique needs of each learner.

We have begun the development effort!

Demo – in just one minute (or two).

But first…

12

PerformancePLUS provides access to multiple measures and enables collection of evidence that can be used in evaluations. (Student names are fictitious)

In addition to an evaluation tool, we want to helpLEAs gather meaningful measurements

Existing reports allow evaluators to look at NECAP growth – to consider ‘shared attributes’ or student outcomes for a given teacher. (Student names are fictitious)

13

LEAs can also consider student performance changes from year to year.

14

15

We are building state model evaluation indicators into our system.

Moving Forward

• Best practice surveys (e.g., student survey, climate survey, parent survey, peer survey).

• Summary reports (e.g., growth at the school level or multiple teachers at once).

• NWEA and SAT growth factors.

• And we are providing support and training to schools.

16

We have launched a social network for Educator Effectiveness.

17

Users can share knowledge, receive on-line training and contribute to the community themselves.

Now for the Demo! A tool to manage the evaluation process.
