Measurement Conference

Student Growth Measurement Form Completed

Pre-Observation FormAnnounced observation Optional for experienced teachers if

or Effective” on Summative

Experienced TeacherRated: “Needs

Improvement or Ineffective” on Summative

If they have “Needs Improvement” & “Ineffective” on their Summative it can require more observations with their Improvement Plan

Should be at least 30 minutes longCan not occur during the first or last 5 days of school

Collect data, track, and analyze progress toward attaining Component 5 goal(s).

Step 7 Summative Evaluation Conference

Within 10 days of the Summative Conference evaluator fills out Summative Evaluation Form

Components One to Four teacher is rated either “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory”

Component Five (which doesn’t count this year) teacher is rated:80-100% “Exceeds”50-79% “Satisfactory”Below 50% “Unsatisfactory”

Step 8 Summative Documentation Process

Part I – School Wide 30% All Staff Option 1 Reading DCAS Scores Option 2 Math DCAS Scores

Best results for “AYP” Fall-Spring Growth Calculations

Part II – Student Cohort 20% DCAS teachers (Grades 3-10) All students

DCAS Instructional Scores – Fall to Spring Growth Model Non DCAS teachers (Grades 3-10)

Select cohort ahead (min 25)

Part III- Teacher Specific Measures 50% A Non DCAS Assessment

Approved by Department of Education & Secretary of Education Directly tied to teaching assignment

Component 5 2011-2012 Data

If school doesn’t have Part IIIThen teacher evaluated on:

Part 1 = 30% Part 2 = 70%

If school doesn’t have Part II & Part IIIPart 1 = 100%

If missing Parts:

“Satisfactory” Met criteria in at least 3 of the 4 components

“Unsatisfactory” Did not meet criteria in 2 of the 4 components

If Unsatisfactory then put on an Improvement Plan

2011-2012 Summative Evaluation Ratings

"Highly Effective" means:Satisfactory in 4 of the 5 components including

a rating of “Exceeds” for Component Five.

"Effective" means:Satisfactory rating in at least 3 of the 5

components including the Component V, but the teacher does not meet the student growth requirements for a "Highly Effective" rating.

2012-2013

"Needs Improvement" means: Has earned 1 or 2 satisfactory ratings out of the 5

components including a satisfactory rating in Component Five, or

Has earned 3 or 4 satisfactory ratings out of the 5 components and the teacher has earned an unsatisfactory rating in Component Five.

"Ineffective" means: Has received 0, 1, or 2 satisfactory ratings out of the 5
