NCLB Flexibility Waiver

• Adopted by State Board, June 2013• Eliminated AYP Rating system

• New Standards for Language Arts and Math• New Student Assessment System• New School Accountability/Rating system

o (ASPI Score, Star Ratings, Priority/Focus Schools)

• New Educator Evaluation system

Educator Evaluation System

• Based on current State Teaching Standards• Incorporates State Cultural Standards• Addition of ‘Student Learning Measure’ Standard• Requires a summary “Level of Support”

designation• Requires a summary “Overall Rating” for

state/federal reporting purposes

• Consider evaluation models ✔• Review/revise Indicators and rubrics ✔• Cross-walk with state teaching standards ✔• Incorporate Cultural Standards ✔• Include evaluation input from teachers, parents,

students ✔• Develop ‘rules’ to determine domain ratings ✔• External Validation and Consultation ✔

Student Learning Measures

• Domain 4 of LKSD Evaluation Form• Guidance Document in draft form (Dr. Whitely)• Key Decisions:

o All teachers use 3 measures• State Assessment (AMP)• District identified normed assessment (ex: MAPS, Aimsweb)• Teacher developed or identified curriculum assessments

o Teachers who teach in non-tested areas will identify appropriate sub- skill areas in the state assessment that apply to subject.

o SLO: the management tool for assessment and data goalso Assessments/SLO’s to include at least 60% of students taughto Attendance rate threshold for inclusion in data calculations

Results vs. ReportingEvaluation Results District Reporting

• Leads to professional learning, district support, and/or plan of improvement

• Confidential—between administrator(s) and the individual being evaluated

• Educator evaluations provide the information the district will use to calculate the overall rating

• Number and percentage of educators at each overall ratings will be reported to the department by each school district beginning in July 2016

• Information will only be made available to the public at levels that maintain individual confidentiality

Overall Rating & Student Learning Data• A district will evaluate whether an educator’s overall performance is

exemplary, proficient, basic, or unsatisfactory.

• A district shall include student learning data in teacher and administrator’s overall rating according to the following schedule:

o SY 2015‐16 & SY 2016‐17, at least 20% o SY 2017‐18 at least 35% o SY 2018‐19 and after, at least 50%

• A district may not give an educator an overall performance rating of proficient or higher if the educator has been evaluated to be performing at a level of basic or lower on one or more of the content standards or other criteria for which evaluation is required. 18
