What’s New?Starting in the 2013-14 school year, HCPSS will

be implementing a new teacher evaluation process for all teachers.

We Learn So Our Students Learn

•Site-based Professional Learning Modules

•Self-directed Resources: Professional Learning Bundles

•Framework Domain Courses

•Ongoing, Customized Supports

How did we arrive at this new Teacher Evaluation Process?

Beginning in 2009, due to new Federal and State mandates, HCPSS revised the teacher evaluation process.

A new evaluation process was developed in collaboration with school-based leaders, central office leaders, HCEA and HCAA.

How did we arrive at this new Teacher Evaluation Process?

The new HCPSS evaluation was designed to support teachers in implementing the Common Core curriculum ensuring the use of multiple measures.

A pilot consisting of 10 schools is taking place this school year. (4-Elementary, 3-Middle, 3-High School)

The new evaluation process goes into effect for all teachers during the 2013-2014 school year.

What’s Changing?Replacement of Appendix D with a Goal

Setting Form

Inclusion of a new Domain for Student Growth

Use of the 2013 Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching

How will it affect teachers?

The new evaluation is designed to support the professional growth of teachers and the academic achievement of our students.

Teachers will focus on all four Danielson domains.

Teachers will select areas of focus for the student growth component.

Teachers will now be rated as ineffective, effective, or highly effective.

SLO

s

Past, Present, and FutureWith a partner, discuss the following questions

comparing the new model with the one we have used in the past:

What’s different? What’s similar?

What are Student Learning

Objectives (SLOs)?

Student Growth

Student Learning Objective. A specific, rigorous, long-term goal for groups of students that represents the most important learning during an interval of instruction.

Determined in consultation with evaluatorFlexible and job-specific Data-rich process

A definition…

SLOs and YouMost teachers will write two SLOs.

Teachers of grades 4 - 8 who are teachers of record for mathematics and/or English Language Arts whose students take the MSA will write one SLO.

SLOs and You

Non-tenured teachers will be evaluated on Domains 1- 4 (Professional Practice) and Domain 5 (Student Growth) on a yearly basis until tenured.

SLOs and YouTenured teachers will be

evaluated on Domains 1-4 (Professional Practice) every three years.

All teachers will be evaluated on Domain 5: Student Growth (SLOs) every year.

SLOs and You

Teachers of HSA assessed areas must align one of their SLOs to the HSA.

TimelineBy September 30, 2013 Set goals in collaboration with

evaluator. Write SLOs. May be individual or team goals.

Fall Semester 2013 Demonstrate critical attributes through observation. Collect artifacts and evidence. Follow a continuous improvement process.

By January 31, 2014 Mid-Year Progress Review:Confirm and revise goals, processes, document progress.

Spring Semester 2014 End of Year Conference and Evaluation:Present documentation and reflection to evaluator.Evaluator completes evaluation and provides copy to teacher.

Based on today’s overview of the new Teacher Evaluation Process, What is/are…

The April 25th Professional Development Day

will be YOUR opportunity to:

deepen understanding of what SLOs are;

analyze and evaluate an example of an SLO;

brainstorm artifacts and evidence to support SLOs;

become aware of resources available to support the writing, implementation, and evaluation of SLOs.
