Objectives for Today

Understand the EES and which measures apply to classroom teachers

Understand the Hawaii Growth Model and how to interpret Student Growth Percentile (SGP) reports

Understand what Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are and how to complete the SLO process

Understand the rationale for adopting Tripod student surveys and how to read Tripod reports

Page 5: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations ProfessionalismOverview5

Why a new system? Historically, evaluation systems have not

supported professional growth or improved effectiveness of all teachers

The EES will provide data that supports school improvement and gives teachers tools to make their classroom practice more effective

When done right, a teacher evaluation can help identify and encourage classroom practices that promote real student learning

When teachers succeed, students succeed

Page 6: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations ProfessionalismOverview6

Goals for EES Year 31. Utilize EES measures to provide meaningful and

connected data to guide instructional improvement efforts of teachers and administrators

2. Continue to test and validate each EES measure and the process for determining final performance ratings

3. Continue to refine and review operational processes associated with each EES measure

4. Build capacity so that complex area staff, school administrators, and leadership teams can help teachers leverage EES data to improve student outcomes

provide a recommended course of action.• Models help us check our assumptions and

biases.• New data only helps students if educators

access and use it.

Learning Goal

A description of what students will be able to do at the end of the interval of instruction that reflects the standards and supports the big idea.

The learning goal includes:• Core task that students will be able to do• Big idea supported by the learning goal• Content standards associated with the learning goal• Rationale for the learning goal

Learning goal: What students will be able to do at the end of the interval of instruction that reflects the standards and supports the big idea

Page 45: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Depth of Knowledge

Page 46: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism46 SLOs

Learning Goal SampleLearning Goal:Students will carry out a scientific investigation (through life science content standards mentioned below to determine the effect of A on B ) that will be based on observations and questions, leading to the generation of a testable hypothesis. The students will design and conduct a controlled experiment to test their hypothesis; collect, organize and analyze data; draw evidence-based conclusions and propose logical next steps.

Big Idea:Through carefully controlled investigations which deliberately isolate and control key variables, scientific knowledge advances our understanding of the natural world.

Page 47: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism47 SLOs

Learning Goal SampleScientific Process Standards (Hawaii Content and Performance Standards III)Scientific Inquiry7.1.1--Design and safely conduct a scientific investigation to answer a question or test a hypothesisScientific Inquiry7.1.2--Explain the importance of replicable trials Scientific Knowledge7.1.3--Explain the need to revise conclusions and explanations based on new scientific evidence

Life Science Standards/BenchmarksIn order to learn the inquiry process through life science content, the students’ inquiries will be based on one or more of the following standards:Cycles of Matter and Energy7.3.1--Explain how energy moves through food webs, including the roles of photosynthesis and cellular respirationInterdependence7.3.2--Explain the interaction and dependence of organisms on one another7.3.3--Explain how biotic and abiotic factors affect the carrying capacity and sustainability of an ecosystem

Page 48: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism48 SLOs

Learning Goal SampleRationale:Scientific inquiry process is a school-wide and departmental focus because historical HSA data has shown that this is an area of need for our students. Using the scientific method requires questioning, hypothesizing, organizing data, analyzing, reasoning, and practicing extended thinking. Given the combination of these higher-order thinking skills, this learning goal measures a high depth of knowledge (DOK) with a DOK level 3 or 4. Interval of instruction necessary to address goal: _X_ Yearlong ___ Semester

Page 49: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism49 SLOs

Assessments, Scoring and CriteriaAssessments should be standards-based, and designed to best measure the knowledge and skills found in the learning goal of this SLO. The assessment should be accompanied by clear criteria or rubrics to describe what students have learned.

• Describes each assessment instrument that will be used to measure the learning goal

• Describes how each assessment instrument will be scored

Page 50: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Quality Assessment Criteria

Page 51: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism51 SLOs

Assessments, Scoring and Criteria SamplePlanned assessments and criteria used to determine levels of performance:Students will safely conduct an investigation and write a lab report (template or prompts to be provided) that will be assessed using the attached rubric reflecting the components of the scientific inquiry process as it applies to life science benchmarks. A minimum of once a month, students will be informally assessed on discrete components of the scientific inquiry process using common formative assessments developed by the 7th grade science data team. I will also collect informal data on students’ abilities in understanding different components of the scientific inquiry process through ongoing observations and conversations with students. This will also include information from exit passes, discussions, and mini-quizzes. Student work, both formal and informal, will be analyzed for the ability to demonstrate understanding of the scientific inquiry process components and how its application impacts understanding of targeted content. Students will be grouped appropriately to address their needs.

Page 52: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism52 SLOs

Expected Targets

Identifies the expected outcomes by the end of the instructional period for the whole class as well as for different performance groups as appropriate.• Describes at least three data sources that will be used to

establish the starting point for measuring student learning progress towards the SLO learning goal

• Describes actual student results for each starting point data source

• Describes expected target for each performance group by the end of the instructional period

Page 53: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism53 SLOs

Expected Targets SampleRationale (using starting point data):In my Period C class of 28 students, no student performed at the “meets” proficiency level for all assessed components of the rubric. Ten (10) students approached “proficiency,” and 18 were “well below.” This data is based on the following:Given a teacher-team generated description of a hypothetical scientific investigation through constructed and selected response items, students will identify the components of the scientific inquiry process as well as any disconnects evident or deduced. The assessment results will be used to establish students’ starting points for placement into performance-level groups. The seventh grade science data team has determined acceptable levels of performance for this assessment.

Target for each level of performance:By the end of the interval of instruction, 90-100% of “approaching proficiency” students in Period C will “meet proficiency”; 90-100% of “well below” students will move to at least the “approaching proficiency” level on the Inquiry Process Rubric (to be attached).

Page 54: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism54 SLOs

Instructional Strategies

Describes the key instructional strategies that are planned for each performance group.• Describes the key instructional strategies used

to teach the learning goal to ALL students• Describes how instruction will be modified to

meet students’ needs at each level of proficiency

Page 55: Understanding  Hawaii’s  Educator Effectiveness System  An Introduction for Educators

Overview Growth Model SLOs Tripod Surveys Observations Professionalism55 SLOs

Instructional Strategies SampleKey Instructional Strategies (for ALL students):• Learning targets deconstructed and made clear to students• Strong and weak examples given to help students understand different levels of proficiency• Both students and teacher provided with descriptive feedback• Flex grouping• Small and large group discussion• Use of graphic organizers and thinking maps to help students organize and generalize information

For students well below levels, direct instruction will be done in small groups to address specific components. Scaffolding will occur using partially completed examples, sentence stems, and templates.

Any students who meet proficiency along the way will apply their learning to issues (to be determined by students) in the community that can be resolved through the scientific inquiry process.
