Addressing Student GrowthIn Performance Evaluation
For Teachers and AdministratorsPatricia Reeves
It’s not about the person; it’s about the…
Fair evaluations are based on actual evidence of the work and impact of that work…against established criteria/standards
The Pending Legislation on Growth
Unless there is a complete about-face,• There will be State Growth Measures
• There will be mandatory and optional State Assessments
• Districts will need to augment the State growth ratings with Local growth ratings
• The point of a growth rating is to make inferences about how educators, schools, and districts are influencing learning and learning rates

Growth Rating Recap: State Growth Rating + Local Growth Rating
Under the proposed House legislation: • 25% of evaluation based on growth starting 2015-16 and continuing through
2017-18 (Senate Delay Bill: 2014-15 - “significant”; 2015-16 – 50%
• In 2015-16 half the growth data for teachers in core areas would come from State assessments and the other half from district selected assessments; for non-core teachers growth can come from non-mandated state and/or district selected measures; Senate Delay Bill - not addressed
• In 2017-18 growth becomes 40%; Senate Delay Bill – 50% in 2015-16
• For administrators, growth will be based on the combination of growth measures for teachers under their areas of responsibility.
• Districts develop a local growth model with district selected indicators and
measures; Senate Delay Bill – not addressed 4

The Two Faces of Student GrowthGrowth on Mandated State Assessments
• Subject to State decisions on what to test, when to test, and with what measures
• Subject to State decisions on growth standards and growth analytics
Growth on district selected Indicators and Measures
• Subject to local decisions on what to test, when to test, and with what measures (with some limitations)
• Subject to local decisions on growth standards and growth analytics

Developing a Local Growth Model
1. What indicators and measures have you been using to evaluate teachers’ and administrators’ performance?
2. How well aligned are those indicators with your school improvement plan and the district improvement plan?
3. How well aligned are they with your definition of student success? 8

Regardless of students’ entering achievement levels, growth is:
KEEPING THEM MOVING UP AND EXPANDING: Goal is to either maintain or accelerate growth rates if at, or above, target achievement levels to stay ahead of a success track (e.g. hitting 3rd, 7th/8th, and 11th Grade targets) and to branch out.
13
MAKING SURE THEY KEEP UP: Goal is to maintain or accelerate the growth rates if at, or above, target achievement levels to stay on a success track (e.g. hitting 3rd, 7th/8th, and 11th Grade targets).
MOVING THEM UP: Goal is to accelerate growth rates until these students are also on target to reach achievement targets by certain grades in order to get on a success track (e.g. hitting 3rd, 7th/8th, and 11th Grade targets).

Building a Growth Model
• Must account for the growth of all students• Must use consistent measures• Work best with three or more years of data• Work best with analysis that considers growth
for all students
The Point of Growth Models• How are we doing at ensuring that our higher academic
performers are continuing to MOVE UP and branch out*?
• How are we doing at ensuring that our middle academic performers (the majority of our students) are continuing to either KEEP UP or MOVE UP and branch out*?
• How are we doing at ensuring that our lowest performers are on track to CATCH UP?
*Branch out means to expand development in other academic and/or non-academic indicators of student success, e.g. the arts, community service, athletics, and non-core curricular subjects (languages, logic, philosophy, social sciences, etc.)
