STEP 2A – GOAL-SETTING

Two Types of Goals:Professional Practice GoalsStudent Learning Goals

Your goals will be: Outcome Oriented SMART

•*PTS educators who just completed a 1-Year Educator Plan and Non-PTS educators complete proposed goals and share with the evaluator by October 1, 2014

The Goal-Setting Form is located in Aspen

SMART GOALS

Specific/Strategic: Targets student population

Measurable: Identifies evidence/data

Action Oriented: Identifies outcomes, “who” is doing “what”

Rigorous, Realistic, and Results-Focused: students will increase scores by 10%

Timed and Tracked: Timelines clearly defined

STEP 2B: DEVELOP THE PLAN

4 Types of Educator Plans

Self-Directed Growth Plan 1-Year or 2-Year

Directed Growth Plan1-Year

Improvement PlanLess than 1 year

Developing Educator Plan1-Year (for all Non-PST)

STEP 2B: DEVELOP THE PLAN

The Educator Plan will include:1 professional practice goal1 student learning goal Team goals must be considered and are recommended

The plan should be drafted by the educator or in collaboration with the evaluator

Evaluator meets with educator (or teams) to discuss the Educator Plan by October 16, 2014

Educator Plans must be completed by October 30, 2014

STEP 3: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

• Educators and their evaluator collect evidence (artifacts) and assess progress on goals

• Evaluators conduct announced and unannounced observations, and provide written feedback

•-Educators on a 1-Year plan will submit evidence on Standard 3 and 4 by January 5, 2015

•-It is recommended that all educators share evidence with evaluators by January 5, 2015

OBSERVATIONS

Announced

Pre-conference30 minute observationPost-conferenceWritten feedback

•Unannounced

-At least 10 minutes-Written feedback

ARTIFACTS

What is an artifact? “Products of an educator’s work that demonstrate

knowledge and skills of the educator.”

Artifacts should never be documents manufactured for the evaluation.

This definition of artifact comes from state regulations, 603 CMR 35.02.

IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGICALLY COLLECTING

ARTIFACTS-Artifacts should be a sample that demonstrates educator performance and impact:

Evidence should be clearly tied to: Goals Standards/Indicators

-Artifacts can provide evidence of more than one Standard or Indicator

-Number of artifacts for each educator will vary

**Focus your artifact gathering on Standard III and Standard IV and on indicators you identified as areas for growth in your Self-Assessment

ARTIFACT COVERSHEET

Don’t forget to complete an Artifact Coversheet for each artifact.

RUNNING RECORD OF EVIDENCE FORM

Using a running record helps you keep track of your evidence collection (optional)

FORMATIVE REPORTS

Every educator has a mid-cycle review

1-Year Educator Plans•Formative Assessment Reports will be completed by February 3, 2015•Formative Assessment meetings (if requested) will be held by February 24, 2015

2-Year Educator Plans•Formative Evaluation Reports and meetings (if requested) will be completed by June 1, 2015

FORMATIVE REPORTS

Formative Assessment ReportMid-cycle in a 1-Year Plan (February)No ratings

Formative Evaluation ReportMid-cycle in a 2-Year Plan (June of Year 1)Ratings on goals and standards

REPORTS

Summative Evaluation ReportEnd of cycle –both 1-Year and 2-Year Plans (April)Ratings on goals and standardsSummative Evaluation Reports will be completed by April 29, 2015

RATINGS

• Every educator earns one of four ratings of performance every year

• Every educator earns one of three ratings of impact on student learning each year (after three years of DDM data are available)

PERFORMANCE RATINGS

Performance RatingsExemplary

Proficient

Needs Improvement

Unsatisfactory

-Performance ratings are part of the Formative Evaluation Report (end of Year 1 of a 2-Year Plan) and the Summative Evaluation Report

-Given for performance in each standard and overall performance

-Cannot receive an overall rating of Proficient or Exemplary if rating for Standard I or II is Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory

IMPACT RATINGS

Impact Rating High

Moderate

Low

-Based on 3 years of DDM data (2 DDMs annually)

-Low impact rating only influences the Educator Plan to be written
