Teacher Characteristics and Effectiveness
February 1, 2013 SBE Meeting
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
The distribution of TVAAS Evaluation Composites does not differ substantially by years of experience.
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
The distribution of TVAAS Evaluation Composites also does not differ substantially by salary level.
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
Similarly, the distribution of TVAAS Evaluation Composites does not differ substantially by education level.
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
A teacher’s prior experience is not a strong predictor of their effectiveness as measured by their TVAAS score.
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
Similarly, salary explains very little of the variation in TVAAS scores.

Differentiated Pay Plans• Mandated by the General Assembly in 2007• Plans to be based on SBE guidelines• No funding was provided• Statute not enforced• SBE has strongly stated that differentiated pay
with current resources is insufficient.
State Board of EducationDr. Gary L. Nixon, Executive Director
Salary Improvement 2013-2014• Appropriation is a 1.5% improvement to the
BEP salary funding component • Not an across the board raise

Ten high-leverage practices for ambitious mathematical learning for all
1. Choosing and using mathematical tasks that entail complex mathematical work and build basic skills
2. Choosing examples3. Teaching and using academic language4. Leading a productive whole-class math discussion5. Responding productively to students’ “errors”6. Using homework equitably7. Using specific, mathematically focused positive reinforcement8. Using public recording (posters, whiteboard)9. Diagnosing common patterns of student thinking (and not-so-common)10. Assessing students’ mathematical proficiency and teaching responsively

Necessary for using complex mathematical tasks with
“high expectations”
1. Helping students to believe they can do hard work2. Scaffolding complex work appropriately3. Making wise judgments about what to leave open and
what needs to be made explicit4. Commenting on mathematics, and mathematical
productions, not features of students5. Supporting error as a fruitful site for mathematical
work, and teaching students to use error productively Dr. Deborah L. Ball© 2011 Mathematics Teaching and Learning to Teach • School of Education • University of Michigan
