The evaluation process is NOT a punitive process…everyone must see it as a way to grow professionally.
In July of 2011, legislation passed regarding how all educators (Administrators and Teachers) will be evaluated. Some of the highlights include: annual evaluations, student growth became a significant , observations focus on lesson plans/standards/student engagement. This legislation mandated that any district who did not have a tool that could match the rigorous standards must adopt the state tool, which was to be released in summer 2012 by Governor’s Council on Educator Effectiveness. The State eventually gave the option of any of the 3 that were state approved and Danielson was one of them.
The evaluation is broken up into TWO parts: Framework for Teaching and Student Growth. Therefore, 75% is the Framework and 25% is student growth.
We will start with the Framework.
The Danielson Framework for Teaching is research-based and is considered a highly valid tool for developing and enhancing classroom instruction. The District, in conjunction with the other 2 pilot districts (Montrose and Port Huron), have worked collaboratively to develop a tool and base 75% of the educator’s evaluation on this framework The Framework for Teaching “…identifies those aspects of a teacher’s responsibilities that have been documented through empirical studies and theoretical research as promoting improved student learning.” We all feel strongly that this Framework will help us all become better educators.
As we begin to look at and explore the Framework for Teaching, keep in mind that the Performance Levels indicated in Danielson’s work translate to the Michigan effectiveness ratings/performance levels. Teachers and administrators will become accustomed to using these terms as we have discussions related to observations and evaluations.
To use a swimming analogy, consider this… Obviously, those drowning and in the dog paddle phase will get a lifeline in this evaluation process!
The Framework is broken into 4 domains listed here. The rubric is broken into the 22 components within each domain.
Domains and Components of 1 and 4…they are demonstrated by the teacher both in and out of the classroom. They are mostly things that we can’t see when we come into the classroom to observe and it is the teacher’s responsibility to provide the evidence in these components. Teachers will need to support their outside the class activities by submitted lesson plans for the Formal Observation. Domains 1 & 4 worksheet in the Garden City Teacher Evaluation Handbook is to be submitted or prepared with discussion like a job interview in the Post Observation meeting.
Domains and Components of 2 and 3 are where we see the action. The evaluator/ observer in your classroom will be able to collect evidence of performance during at least 2 observations in your classroom.
This is a summary of the Domains, Components, and more specifically the Elements in the Framework. You have this document via email and with the evaluation packet you received. You also have distributed the Garden City Public Schools Teacher Evaluation Handbook.
This evaluation process, using the Framework for Teaching, is based on Danielson’s PLAN, TEACH, REFLECT, APPLY cycle. Solid preparation and planning; engaging instruction; reflection on your instruction with your evaluator and sometimes by yourself; and then application of any changes needed in your instruction will IMPROVE THE NEXT CYCLE OF INSTRUCTION.
Student Growth Indicators are worth 25% or 30 out of the Total Possible Points of 118
on the Teacher Performance Evaluation. The next couple slides will describe Pre/Post Assessments, and Annual Year End Evaluation scoring.
To create a Pre/Post Test a teacher gives their students a diagnostic test to benchmark student skills. This is a skills test that accompanies the curriculum, a department or grade level wide assessment, or any other task that will provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge or skills. The diagnostic identifies specific content expectations or core standards that will be covered over the course of the year or marking period. After giving the pre test, the teacher selects a reasonable, significant growth goal (30% or more). The mutually agreed upon goal (administrator has the final say) shows student growth at what is estimated to be at an effective estimation. At or near the completion of the year or marking period, students complete a similar assessment. The difference between student performances on the diagnostic and the assessment is calculated. The above rubric demonstrates the levels of effectiveness based on student growth.
We will now take a look at the reported Teacher Evaluation Tool.
Page 1 &2: This is the beginning of the Danielson portion of the Annual Year End Performance Evaluation. Note the point values, 1-4, Ineffective to Highly Effective .The total points on page 2 is 88 possible points (if a teacher received a 4 in every component). This is weighted as 75% of the evaluation. The actual tool is recorded by the administrator in a Google Docs document.
Page 4: Final sum of points and Rating Scale. Please note, a teachers signature doesn’t indicate AGREEMENT, but it only indicates the evaluation process is complete. Teachers may still write comments to be attached to their evaluations.
The range is equated to a 100 point scale is presently less demanding than the tradition scale of 90-100 for H.E. and son on.
Some other misc. details that should be addressed before we conclude are IDPs, Observations, Timelines.
IDPs are for non-tenured and tenured teachers and entail goal setting, a plan to attain the goal(s), and a final assessment of progress toward the goal(s).
Mid Year Progress Reports for at least the first year for a non-tenured and for tenured teachers while rated minimally or ineffective on the previous year’s evaluation. This progress report must have data, revised goals (if applicable) and any recommended training that hasn’t already taken place.
At least 2 observations will be conducted this year. One will be announced and the others may or may not be announced. We will have some 1:1 discussion surrounding Domain 1 (Planning and Preparation) and Domain 4 (Professional Responsibilities) throughout the year, pre and post assessment. We will provide you timely feedback on what we’ve observed while in your classroom. The purpose of this evaluation process and the feedback provided throughout the year is to improve instruction and grow professionally.
