Let’s Talk About Calibration

• Evaluators need to calibrate every 6 months

• DPI is suggesting a window be opened by the end of January and calibration complete by end of the school year. You decide how long the window stays open.

• WI is using the Compliance Model• 2 videos (15 minutes or so each)• Collect evidence• Score• Compare with Master Scorer

Focus Administrator

• Things to consider locally:o Timing and length of your calibration window

o Will you set calibration ‘cut scores’?

o Is there a point where a principal should not be conducting observations? (But don’t remove them!)

o Is there a point at which an uncalibrated principal should resume calibration?

How should we plan to support your principals?

• Calibration half day for anyone?

• RtI for those with calibration issues?

Observations, Tagging, and Scoring

• Scoring doesn’t take place at the time of the observation (mini or formal).

• Tagging does take place shortly after the observation.

• Practice with CESA4 Training Accounts
