based on the Nebraska Teacher “Standards”

• Want a tool used to help teachers improve

• Would like it to be a mobile, electronic tool

• Want to work collaboratively

What Does The Tool Look Like?• Mobile Device For Walk-Throughs• Data Feeds Formal Evaluation Form• Printable Reports/Evaluation Forms• Levels of Access Determine Views

Associated Fees

• Required: Administrator Trainings• 2012-13 FREE to all ESU 10 Schools (Pilot Year)• Advisory Committee 2012-13 For

Improvements to the System• Beginning 2013-14 – $100 Annual Maintenance Fee, plus $10 per

Informing the Tech Tool

ESU 10 ODIE SystemThe evaluation tool will be managed through our ODIE system which will enable schools to build the tool and set levels of access.

Using the DATA Collected

• What does the data tell us?• How will we use the data?• How can the data inform our

Professional Development plan? School Improvement?

• How can the data help us help teachers?

ESU 10’s Role• Facilitation of the creation of the tool• Professional development in the use &

understanding of the tool/process• Management of the technology• ESU wide reports for the purpose of

identifying needs & designing aligned PD• Assisting schools in prioritizing local PD

needs

Statewide Leadership CommitteeTask from State Board of Education

Develop teacher and principal evaluation models based on the Nebraska Teacher and Principal Performance Framework forvoluntary use by local districts.

State Model Development Groups

• Design/Pilot District Committees- To design specific instruments, oversee training and implementation. Includes pilot districts (@25), selected ESU staff developers and tech coordinators. Begin meeting in Fall 2012

• Rubric Committee- Drawn from Framework Drafting Committee; will draft summative rubrics for Framework, June 25-26

• ESU’s- Training and staff development and possible development of evaluation technology

• Vendors- Provide expertise and other products and services as process develops.

• Growth-oriented practices such as teacher:– Self-reflection– Goal setting– Professional growth plans

Possible Model Products: Toolkit

• Model Board policy/admin. Regulation• Observation instruments & rubrics• Summative evaluation documents/rubrics• Guidelines for using student learning in

evaluation• Feedback surveys & related materials• Training & implementation guides• Professional development resources• Technological resources

Initial Planning Timeline

• Phase I- Leadership-Steering Committee: Spring, Summer, Fall, 2012

Time to Tour the System

Setting Up Your Local Tool

Next Steps• Complete building your local tool• Pilot the tool in 2012-13• Advisory committee to adopt improvements as the
