Bartlesville Teacher Appraisal Committee

December 12, 2013 Revision

What are Other Academic Measures?

Additional Alternative Instruments

Ensure a robust teacher evaluation Capture unique facets of effective teaching Reflect student academic performance impacted by

the teacher

District Responsibilities Follow guidelines set forth by Okla. State Board of

Education based on recommendations of TLE Commission Require teachers to select an OAM relevant to their job

duties Provide at least two OAM options relevant to each teacher’s

job duties Create OAM evaluation rating for each teacher on 5 point

scale (5 is Superior and 1 is ineffective)

OAM Evaluation Process Normally during the first nine weeks of school: 1. Determine academic area of focus for teacher’s students to

guide OAM. Examples: - Mathematical problem solving skills. - Reading on grade level. - Reading sight music fluently. - Understanding verb conjugation in world languages.

2. Administer pre-assessment or locate previous data to guide

OAM. Examples: - 4th grade state math test scores of current 5th grade students. - Students results from reading screener administered in first weeks of

school. - Beginning of year benchmark/baseline data. - Selections from Approved OAM List.

OAM Evaluation Process 3. Select an OAM to measure the performance of the academic

area of focus at end of year from Approved OAM List. 4. Establish a SMART goal based on pre-assessment data. - Specific - Measurable - Attainable & Ambitious - Results driven - Time bound

OAM Evaluation Process 5. Establish 5-point rating scale for the SMART goal. 5 = Superior 4 = Highly Effective 3 = Effective 2 = Needs Improvement 1 = Ineffective 6. By way of signature, receive agreement from the evaluator on

SMART goal and 5-point scale.

OAM Evaluation Process At the end of the school year: 6. Teachers will consult with their respective evaluators to

determine if SMART goal was reached and to assign TLE OAM score based on 5 point rating scale. Documentation of student performance should be provided.

Because the results of OAMs are typically unavailable until after evaluations must be completed for re-employment decisions, OAM results will be calculated as 15% of the overall TLE evaluation during the year following attainment.

TLE Evaluation 2013-2014: 100% is Tulsa Model Rubric (qualitative). OAM is mandated, but only being piloted. 2014-2015: 100% is Tulsa Model Rubric (qualitative). OAM data will be collected to be included as 15% of final TLE score in 2015-2016. 2015-2016: OAM & Value Added components added to TLE…

Frequently Asked Questions

Do career teachers scoring a 3.8 or above from the previous year have to complete the OAM portion?

Yes!

Frequently Asked Questions Will all teachers with the same job

title/description have the same OAM? Not necessarily. Each teacher has the

freedom to select an OAM relevant to his/her job duties. Teachers may use the same OAM with the same SMART goals, but they are not required to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions If I teach multiple subjects or grade

levels, do I need a separate OAM for each one?

No. Just pick one OAM for the subject

or grade level that you want to focus on.

Frequently Asked Questions Can teachers choose two OAMs in a

given year? No. You may only choose one OAM

goal.

Frequently Asked Questions What if I do NOT see two OAMs on the

approved list that are relevant to my job duties?

Contact your grade level coordinator or

department chair for advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have problems with my evaluating administrator not agreeing to my OAM choice, goal, and/or rating?

Contact your grade level coordinator or

department chair for advice.

PILOT YEAR This will NOT become part of your

TLE rating; it is a state-mandated practice run.

To keep things simple for you and your evaluator, you will select from a set of pre-made options based on the reading or math achievement scores on the district or site report card.

Pre-Made Goals are on the District Website: Homepage > Staff Links > TLE Appraisals

Pre-Made Goals are on the District Website: then select a READING or a MATH goal

At the district or site level, you can select reading or math.

Reading is a good default choice since everyone is doing some reading as part of our district’s preparations for Common Core.
