Getting Ready for theProfessional Growth & Effectiveness System

AISD 2013 - 2014

Goals for the day:

Objective 1: Understand what the new Professional Growth and Effectiveness System (PGES) entails

Objective 2. Understand future expectations for the field test and full implementation in 2014 – 2015

FROM QUALIFIED TO EFFECTIVE

ESEA Waiver• used for continual

improvement; • differentiate performance• use multiple, valid measures • evaluate regularly• provide useful feedback, • used to inform personnel

decisions

MULTIPLE MEASURES

PEER OBSERVATION•For formative use only

•NO ratings will be given

Allows the observer and the teacher to:

•Develop reflective practice•Share best teaching practices•Gain new ideas and fresh perspectives about teaching•Enhance skills•Improve the quality of the learning experience made available to students

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND SELF REFLECTION

Integrated into one process and will be available electronically through Educator Development Suite within CIITS.

Teachers will engage in critical self-examination of practice, skills, and improving classroom practice.

Teachers will use goal-setting process and data from observations, student voice, and student achievement to identify supports needed for growth. SMART Goals will be required/rigorous and standards-based.

STUDENT VOICE

Students – best predictors of teacher effectiveness

Online Survey (grades 3 – 12)

K-2 version – done in small group with a facilitator other than the teacher

STUDENT GROWTH

For Tested Grades and Subjects:

• Tested grades and subjects will receive Student Growth Percentiles from state assessments. SGP’s focus on the relative standing of a student from year to year compared to the student’s academic peers.  Did the student outpace his peer group?

 For Non-Assessed Grades and Subjects:

• Non-assessed grades and subjects will utilize Student Growth Goals. This process is in cooperation with Dr. James Stronge’s work. This is a process by which teachers, with the support and input of the principal, establish growth goals for a group of students.

2013-2014 STATEWIDE PILOT

• All districts will participate in the statewide field test

• Teacher participants will be selected by the principal

• Within each participating school, the minimum number of teachers participating will be

• ELA: 1

• Math: 1

• ELL/SWD: 1

• Non-Assessed: 2

AISD TIMELINE• Still to come…..
