Thursday, May 26Webinar 3:30 pm

Opportunities Provided by Pilot Participation

• Be “early adopter” for the revised system• Engage in professional development

related to the WV Professional Standards• Work as part of a collaborative team to

improve educator effectiveness• Provide input to policy makers for

shaping the evaluation process

Essential Questions• Who are the pilot schools?• What is the conceptual framework of

the revised system? • What are the expectations for the pilot

schools?• What are the policy parameters?• What is the timeline for training and

what financial support is available?• What are the next steps?• What questions remain?

Who are the pilot schools?

• School Improvement Grant 1003(g)– 2010 SIG 1 schools – 14 schools– 2011 SIG 2 schools – 6 schools

• Non-SIG schools – 5 schools– high school, middle school, elementary– broaden the demographic representation

of pilot schools

What is the conceptual framework

of the revised educator evaluation system?

Conceptual Framework

• WV Professional Teaching Standards, Leadership Standards, Counselor Standards

• Professional evaluation• Structured feedback• Encouragement and acknowledgement

of continuous professional growth

Improvements• Teacher Evaluation – decreases indicators from 55 to 16– decreases # of classroom observations

required for each evaluation

• Principal/Counselor Evaluation– 12 indicators, performance based

• Teacher/Principal/Counselor– Performance level descriptions– Performance rubrics for each element

New Elements

• Evidence based

– Educator performance

– Student performance

Educator Performance Evidence

• Does not mean creating a portfolio

• Does mean being able to showcase the work of the teacher

• Broad categories of evidence for each professional standard

Student Performance Evidence – Classroom

• Opportunity to demonstrate student learning using:– A goal-driven process, established by the

teacher or a collaborative team of teachers

– Existing/created assessments– Multiple measures to identify student

learning

Student Performance Evidence – School

• Opportunity to demonstrate student learning using school-wide measures of growth, based on WESTEST 2 in the areas of:

• Math• Reading/Language Arts

• School level growth report will be generated by WVDE

• SIG schools required to include school evidence

• Non-SIG schools recommended, but optional

Evaluation Progressions

• Initial: 1st - 3rd year teachers

• Intermediate: 4th & 5th year

• Advanced: 6th year or greater

Initial Progression

• Initial: 1st- 3rd – Four observations and evidence

collections– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation

Intermediate Progression

• Intermediate: 4th & 5th year– Two observations and evidence

collections– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation

Advanced Progression

• Advanced: 6th year or greater– One self-evaluation– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation

What are the expectations for the pilot schools?

Expectations for the Pilot Schools

• Embrace the Opportunities:• Be “early adopter”• Engage in professional development• Work as part of a collaborative team• Provide input to policy makers

• Participate in the research study

Learning from the Pilot

• What is your role?– Teachers, mentors, and principals will need to be

active participants and provide feedback to WVDE

• What information will need to be collected about the evaluation process?– Process – Outcomes

• What about confidentiality?– All data will be aggregated to the school level– All data collection will be confidential

Learning from the Pilot

• What will be the immediate outputs of the pilot study?– Findings will be published in the form of various

reports, and made available to stakeholders.– Recommendations will be made for any

revisions prior to statewide rollout.

• What will be the long term impact of the pilot study?– A better evaluation system, one that is more

rigorous, equitable, and transparent.

What are the policy parameters associated with participation

in the pilot?

Policy Authority

• Waiver Process– State Superintendent will submit waiver to

the WVBE– Pilot-wide waiver for identified schools– State Board’s action will provide authority

to implement the pilot as evaluation of record

• Improvement Plan Exceptions– Waiver will specify all exceptions

What is the timelinefor training?

What financial support is available?

Transformation Model

Developing teacher and school leader effectiveness

Use rigorous, transparent and equitable evaluation systems that take into account data on student growth
