eVAL

eVAL is a web-based tool designed to manage the evaluation process and

documentation. Developed in partnership with the Washington Education Association,

the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Educational Service District 113,

eVAL is:

• a free resource piloted within the Teacher/Principal Evaluation Pilot districts in the

2011-12 school year (currently eVAL will be used by our pilot and RIG districts for

2012-13);

• personalized for each district for their instructional framework, resources, and

documents;

• voluntary for all districts, who can use as many or as few of eVAL’s features as

they’d like (or none at all); and

• extremely secure with limited access physically and virtually to its servers.

Conceptual Understanding An analogy

If 5D is the

curriculum…

and if 5D+/state

8 are the

assessment…

then eVAL is

the grade book.

eVAL’s Uses and Roles

eVAL has a number of roles, but the primary uses are: • to support dialog between supervisor and

supervisee • reflection about an individual’s practice • collection of evidence of effective practice

eVAL serves as a central storage and reporting tool for many aspects of the evaluation process. The primary users of eVAL are teachers and principals.

TEACHERS

eVAL Users

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Teachers

Self-Assess: Teachers can develop self-assessments by scoring rubrics organized by the state criteria or local instructional models. Each self-assessment can remain private or be shared at teachers’ discretion with supervisors.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Teachers

Goals: This dashboard allows you to view and track the status of your goal setting work. Goals may be evaluator-assigned or self-assigned. It also contains space for artifacts and resources.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Teachers

Observations: Under this section teachers be reminded of the date, time and location of events related to planned observations. Teachers can also respond to questions prior to their pre-conferences, enter notes for their principal and reflect upon their lessons.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Teachers

Artifacts: Under this section teachers can load evidence such as documents, spreadsheets, or presentations and align them to the state criteria. The purpose of this section is to allow teachers the opportunity to gather and showcase evidence in multiple forms.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Teachers

Self-Assessment Example

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Principals

Conference: Under this sections principals plan for pre-conferences, observations and post-conferences. Principals can communicate their focus while observing instruction, craft pre and post-conference questions for teachers and schedule observations in this section.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Principals

Practice: Principals and teachers can use the practice section to enter formative evaluation data regarding videos or classroom observations. The purpose of practice is to engage teachers and principals in dialog regarding their shared (or different) perceptions of quality instruction. Practice contains dashboards that display multiple data points summarizing many evaluator perspectives.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Principals

Observe: Principals enter notes during lessons (or paste them from other software afterwards), align the evidence from their notes to state or local rubrics and provide feedback to teachers regarding the level of quality observed. Principals score rubric, annotate their scores and manage all aspects of evidence gathered during observations in this section. Post-conference observation reports can be printed from within the Observe section.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

The Evaluation Process

Traditionally, this process has been conducted entirely on paper. Usually the criteria and prompts are established in collective bargaining.

In TPEP the evaluation process, like curriculum has been for 18+ years, is being aligned to state standards.

There are now four possible outcomes: Unsatisfactory Basic Proficient Distinguished Aggregated results are shared with the state.

In eVAL-WA the process is conducted entirely online.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Principals

Summary: Under this section principals can submit final summative scores of teachers to their district office, reflect on all evidence gathered during the year, and score final summative rubrics. Final summative reports can be printed from this section.

Orting School District Teaching, Learning and Assessment November 2012 M. Shepard

Principals

Reports: Principals can view a variety of reports under this section. Reports include school-wide evaluation summaries, individual teacher evaluation trends and discrepancies between teacher self-assessments and evaluator scores.
