Focusing on the WHY

NC is implementing a new curriculum, new assessments, new

technology tools to improve instruction, new ways of engaging

students, and the list goes on

Because all our efforts in other areas depend on an effective

teacher in every classroom and an effective leader in every school

building

So why is the State focusing on educator

effectiveness in the face of so many other

changes?

Focusing on the WHY

The work around educator effect iveness, including the Measures of

Student Learning, is grounded in the belief that:

Every student in North Carolina deserves an

effective teacher in all courses and grades.

Our students need to learn al l of the standards in the North

Carol ina Standard Course of Study in order to be READY for thei r

futures.

·

Focusing on the WHY

·In order to increase their effectiveness, teachers need access to

·high-quality data

·Every teacher in North Carolina deserves

·feedback on the growth of their students.

·It’s not about firing our way to a better teaching force. It’s about

·creating a system that:

·Identifies the strongest teachers so that we can all learn

·from them, and

·Identifies those teachers who need additional support

·and targets that support to their needs

What is educator effectiveness?

Why is school-wide EVAAS growth included?

• To encourage collaboration and collective ownership of overall outcomes

• Teacher = 70% and School-wide = 30%

Note: In 2011-12, teachers without individual EVAAS growth will get school-wide growth for Standard 6.

Key Note on Ratings• Every educator is evaluated every year

• Each standard and rating stands on its own (1 out of 6, not 1/6)

• Ratings are used to create professional development plans each year

• Ratings are used to determine status



Status Rationale - MET Research - Standards 6 & 8 - Status - Support - MSLs

▲

Ratings Status• Teachers

6 separate ratings to help teachers grow each year

• Principals8 separate ratings to help principals grow each year

• A single overall status that is determined once a principal or teacher has three years of growth data to populate 6 or 8

• Categories for Status

1. In Need of Improvement

2. Effective

3. Highly Effective

• An educator receives an effectiveness status only once she has 3 years of data on standards 6 or 8

• A 3-year rolling average of growth data from standards 6 or 8 is used as part of determining overall status

Focusing on the WHY

1.So why have statewide Measures of Student 2.Learning?

1.1. North Carolina has a statewide evaluation system to ensure 2. that every teacher receives a fair and consistent evaluation, 3. regardless of his or her employing LEA

4.2. Teachers in all content areas should receive a Standard Six 5. rating based on the growth of their own students on their 6. content-specific standards

7.3. Most LEAs do not have the capacity to design their own 8. assessments for all non state-tested grades and subjects

LEA-NCDPI Partnership

Prior to submitting a Race to the Top application, LEA

superintendents and the NCDPI came to an agreement on how to

measure student growth for the grades and subjects not assessed

with state exams:

Step Description Owner

One Design statewide assessments

NCDPI (with teacher input)

Two Administer new assessments

LEAs/Charter Schools

Three Determine growth with

data from new

assessments

EOCs, EOGs and

Category One of MSLs

With appropriate resources and time, these MSLs can be validated psychometrically

Category Two of MSLs

With the heavy emphasis on performance, these MSLs cannot be validated psychometrically

Implementation Guide

·Currently in DRAFT form

·Balances between LEA flexibility in implementation and the need to

collect secure data to send to EVAAS

·Will be revised after feedback from testing coordinators and

superintendents (feedback due by August 15; updated version posted by

September 15)

·Will also be revised after Fall 2012 administration prior to launch of

Spring 2013 administration

·Outlines decisions that LEAs need to make about implementation of the

MSLs

·Plans should include:

·Training for teachers and school administrators on the MSLs (in

conjunction with Human Resources staff)

·How/if MSLs will be used for student accountability (i.e. as final

exam grades)

·How/if parents and guardians will be notified of the MSLs

·Testing window

LEA Expectations…

· Training for teachers on how to score the performance-based

items (NCDPI module released in early Fall 2012)

· Administration mode and security

· Uniform procedures for administration

· Procedures for the distribution, collection, storage, destruction,

or recycling of MSL materials

· Roles and responsibilities for LEA and school-level staff

members

LEA Expectations…
