- Slide 2
- What do we need to know about educator evaluation in charter
schools?
- Slide 3
- Purpose of Evaluation For the purpose of increasing student
learning growth by improving the quality of instructional,
administrative, and supervisory services in the public schools of
the state, the district school superintendent shall establish
procedures for evaluating the performance of duties and
responsibilities of all instructional, administrative, and
supervisory personnel employed by the school district. Florida
Statutes Section 1012.34 (1) (a).
- Slide 4
- This New Approach to Evaluation Supports three processes:
Self-Reflection by the teacher on current proficiencies and growth
needs. (What am I good at? What can I do better?) Feedback from the
evaluator and others on what needs improvement. An annual summative
evaluation that assigns one of the performance levels required by
law (i.e., Highly Effective, Effective, Needs Improvement /
Developing, or Unsatisfactory).

- Foundational Information
- Slide 10
- Rewards states leading the way in comprehensive, coherent,
statewide education reform across four key areas: 1.Adopting
standards and assessments that prepare students to succeed in
college and the workplace 2.Building data systems that measure
student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals how
to improve instruction 3.Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and
retaining effective teachers and principals, especially where they
are needed most 4.Turning around their lowest-performing
schools.
- Slide 11
- Florida worked diligently to bring together broad statewide
support from superintendents, school board members, teachers and
teacher associations for the Race to the Top application.
- Slide 12
- Senate Bill 736: Student Success Act
- Slide 13
- SB 736 Requires DOE approve school district evaluation systems
& monitor for compliance DOE provide requirements and criteria
for evaluation systems Charter schools comply with provisions
related to performance evaluations
- Slide 14
- SB 736 Requires District evaluation systems Support effective
instruction & student learning growth Provide appropriate
instruments, procedures, and criteria for continuous improvement
Use data from multiple sources including input from parents
- Slide 15
- SB 736 Requires Four levels of performance (highly effective,
effective, *needs improvement, unsatisfactory) At least **50% of
the evaluation is based on student learning growth Based on
contemporary research Indicators based on each of the FEAPS
- Slide 16
- SB 736 Requires DOE annual reports to the public on performance
ratings including the percent of teachers and leaders receiving
each rating School reports to parents when their childs teacher or
principal has received unsatisfactory ratings for two consecutive
years
- Slide 17
- SB 736 Requires The state Board of Education shall adopt rules
to establish uniform procedures for the submission and approval of
evaluations of teachers and leaders.
- Slide 18
- SBE Rule 6A-5.065 The Educator Accomplished Practices Florida's
core standards for effective educators. The Educator Accomplished
Practices are based upon three (3) foundational principles; high
expectations, knowledge of subject matter and the standards of the
profession. Each effective educator applies the foundational
principles through six (6) Educator Accomplished Practices. Each of
the practices is clearly defined to promote a common language and
statewide understanding of the expectations for the quality of
instruction and professional responsibility.
- Slide 19
- Teacher Evaluation Requirements
- Slide 20
- In Accordance with F.S. 1012.34 evaluation systems must
- Slide 21
- F.S. 1012.34 Support effective instruction Use student learning
growth results to create school improvement plans Provide
appropriate instruments, procedures and criteria for continuous
quality improvement of the professional skills Include a mechanism
to examine performance data from multiple sources
- Slide 22
- F.S. 1012.34 Identify special evaluation procedures and
criteria Differentiate among four levels of performance Provide

- Slide 24
- The Common Language Project is a process to refine
conversations in ways that increase the clarity of exchanges and
deepen common understanding of the work in progress. ADMR TM (p.40)
Common Language of Instruction
- Slide 25
- Common Language a tool of master practitioners in any
profession that is used to facilitate effective communications
about the essential concepts and practices of the profession.
- Slide 26
- Causal Instructional Strategies Key strategies revealed by
research to have the highest probability of impacting student
learning when used appropriately and in appropriate instructional
contexts. These are the controllable actions in a school that
impact student learning. DOE Form No. EQEVAL-2012-4 ADMR TM (p.40)
Examples of Common Language
- Slide 27
- Learning Goal(s) A learning goal is a statement of what
learners will know and/or be able to do. In teaching situations,
effective teachers state learning goals in a rubric (or scale)
format where ascending levels of proficiency of the goal are
specified. The rubric form guides learners in self-assessment of
progress toward mastery of the goal and guides teachers in tracking
student progress and providing feedback on progress toward
accomplishing the goal. DOE Form No. EQEVAL-2012-4 ADMR TM (p.40)
Examples of Common Language
- Slide 28
- High-Effect Size Practices Contemporary research reveals a core
of instructional and leadership strategies that have a higher
probability than most of positively impacting student learning in
significant ways.
- Slide 29
- High-Effect Size Strategies Are components within the core
standards and expectations described in the FEAPs (Rule 6A- 5.065,
F.A.C.) and FPLS (Rule 6A-5.080, F.A.C.) and Constitute priority
issues for faculty development and deliberate practice. A listing
of these high effect size strategies will be posted for district
use on
www.fldoe.org/profdev/pa.asp.www.fldoe.org/profdev/pa.asp
- Slide 30
- High-Effect Size Practices Classroom teachers need a repertoire
of strategies with a positive effect size so that what they are
able to do instructionally, after adapting to classroom conditions,
has a reasonable chance of getting positive results.

- Research Framework for the Consortium Model
- Slide 33
- Research frameworks pre-approved by the Department are: -Based
on contemporary research -Aligned with the Student Success Act, the
FEAPs or FPLS, as appropriate
- Slide 34
- The Florida state model relies on: Behavioral Framework
strategies to establish a core repertoire of teaching competencies
Constructivist methods for planning instructional units, collegial
work on adapting core strategies to local conditions, and
deliberate practice work for deepening expertise.

- 50% of a teachers performance score comes from the ratings on
FEAPs Instructional Practice & Professional Ethics 50% Student
Growth / VAM 50%
- Slide 41
- Student Growth Measure? The Student Success Act requires the
inclusion of student learning growth measures in teacher
evaluations, and it tasks the education commissioner with
identifying and implementing student growth models.
- Slide 42
- The Value-Added Model (VAM) Value-added is a statistical model
that uses student- level growth scores to differentiate teacher
performance in the area of student learning growth.
- Slide 43
- The Value-Added Model (VAM) A students predicted performance
serves as the target. A student who meets or exceeds his target has
a positive impact on the teachers evaluation, and a student not
making his target has a negative impact.
- Slide 44
- The Value-Added Model (VAM) The percent of students whose
performance is equal to or higher than predicted forms the
foundation for the student growth score in the evaluation
system.
- Slide 45
- VAM Scores Students who meet their expected performance level
Students who fall below their expected performance level Students
who exceed their expected performance level
- Slide 46
- The Value-Added Model (VAM) This overall percent is transferred
to a scale which provides a rating for the teacher at highly
effective, effective, needs improvement/ developing, or
unsatisfactory.

- Professional Growth Plans (PGP) 3 Components Included Below
Student academic growth goals included in the teachers overall
performance score Measurable objectives to meet the goals that
clearly identify the expected change in professional practice An
evaluation plan to determine the effectiveness of the professional
development
- Slide 51
- Professional Growth: The Process Administrators and teachers
meet at the beginning of the year to analyze data, determine goals
& targets, and plan professional development. At mid-year a
review is held to promote discussion and reflection, and to monitor
progress toward the goal using formal and/or informal data. At the
end of the year, a final review of the PGP is held with each
teacher to examine student data, evidence of participation in PD,
subsequent implementation of PD and determination if PD was
effective based on the goals. Areas for continued growth are also
discussed.
- Slide 52
- Scoring Professional Growth Plans To calculate the employees
TOTAL PGP RATING, add the Totals for each Student Learning Target
and divide by 2. TOTAL SCORE ON INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONL GROWTH PLAN
= ______ 3.6 - 4.0 = Highly Effective; 3.0 - 3.5 = Effective; 2.0 -
2.9 = Needs Improvement / Developing 1.0 - 1.9 =
Unsatisfactory
