Performance EvaluationTASK LIST
• 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

Discuss:• What are some observations about the ‘Level of
Support’ designation?
• What are some observations about the ‘Overall Rating’ calculations?
• How do the Level of Support and the Overall Rating differ?
