MPES OVERVIEW & TIMELINE
MPES OverviewThe Mississippi Principal Evaluation System (MPES) is mandatory for all districts this year. • Principal evaluation, including a student growth component, is a requirement of Mississippi’s ESEA flexibility waiver.
• Last year 34 districts (219 principals) piloted a principal evaluation, focusing primarily on the VAL-ED component.
• Who is required to participate this year?• Head principals of K-12 public schools• Career and technical education directors• Assistant principals & alternative school principals are NOT
required to participate this year (local decision)

MPES GOAL-SETTING & SCORING
Setting MPES Language Arts and Mathematics Goals (50%)
•Schoolwide goals - Based on statewide tests (i.e., MCT2).
•Principals and supervisors - Set quantifiable goals and quantifiable ways to measure progress toward each goal at the start of the school year (Sept. 6).

Setting MPES Organizational Goals (20%)
• Organizational Goals (2) Currently Based On:
Leading indicatorsLagging indicators
These can include student assessments, but the Language Arts and Mathematics goals should not be used again in the Organizational Goals.
11
Goal QuantificationAll Goals Must Be:• Measurable (numerical targets)• Ranges/degrees of achievement• Mutually exclusive/contiguous• Realistic/based on data• Attainable/achievable• Consistent and fair• Agreed upon by the principal and supervisor at the beginning of the year
12
MPES Goal Scoring
A Principal’s Goal Score is Based on a 1-4 Range:
4 – Distinguished (Substantially exceeds
goal)
3 – Effective (Approaches or attains goal)
2 – Emerging (Some but not sufficient
progress toward goal)
1 – Unsatisfactory (Little or no progress
toward goal)

Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
• Can more accurately be described as “student growth targets”
• Applicable to teachers of non-tested grades/subjects• CTE population is piloting SLOs this year• Pre-Post Test
• Pre-assessment scores set a baseline• Post-assessment determines growth
• Individual student growth targets will be calculated for each student based on a baseline• Statewide goal is that students will show at least 60% of their
potential growth on the end-of-course assessment.• Statewide goal is that at least 70% of a teacher’s students will
meet growth.

Scoring Rubric
Example: 70% of Teacher’s Students Met Growth
70% = 3
Teacher Evaluation Ratings Level 4 Distinguished: Indicates that the teacher’s
performance consistently exceeds expectations – exemplary; cream of the crop!
Level 3 Effective: Indicates that the teacher’s performance meets expectations. Learning is evident and Best Practices are frequent and intentional!
Level 2 Emerging: Indicates that the teacher’s performance inconsistently meets expectations. PD is needed as teacher continues to learn about the science of teaching and learning.
Level 1 Unsatisfactory: Indicates that the teacher’s performance does not meet expectations. An immediate plan of improvement should be designed by the administrator and teacher.
BRIDGING PRINCIPAL & TEACHER EVALUATION
The Principal-Teacher Link:• Principals and teachers must build partnerships in order for each party to be successful.
• Principals will be evaluated on schoolwide student growth, which requires instructional support in the classroom.
• Teachers will be evaluated on individual and schoolwide student growth, which requires support from school administrators.
• Each party will have input in the other’s evaluation process.
Neither party can do it alone!
All Parties Must Work To Achieve:• Honest and open feedback• Trust and team building• Leadership• Buy-In • Goals that complement one another (teachers must reinforce their principal’s goals and vice versa)
Does the above description fit your school? Counselors are a
great resource!
Stephen Covey
“A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.”
DEFINING LEADING & LAGGING INDICATORS
What Are “Leading” Indicators?• Monitored throughout the year• Can be altered during the year to impact end-of-year outcomes
• For example, drop-out rate during the year is a “leading” indicator because it can be monitored and intervention is possible throughout the school year.
• As another example, hand-washing is a leading indicator of sickness.
Other Leading Indicators• Length of instructional day/year• Student participation rate on State assessments in language arts and mathematics
• Student/teacher attendance rates• Number/percent of students completing advanced coursework (AP/IB), early-college high schools, or dual-enrollment classes
• Disciplinary incidents• Truancy• Teachers’ performance level on a teacher evaluation system
What Are “Lagging” Indicators?• Measured at the end of the academic year (“after the fact”)
• For example, graduation rate is a “lagging” indicator because it is calculated per 4-year cohort after the students have already passed through the educational system.
• To return to the hand-washing example, sickness is a lagging indicator because, once it is evident, prevention is no longer an option.
Other Lagging Indicators• Student achievement proficiency• Student academic growth• Achievement gaps in both proficiency and growth among student subgroups
• Percent of seniors who take the ACT and their average score
• College enrollment rates• Graduation rates• School improvement status and AMOs met and missed
• Percent of English learners who reach English proficiency

UNDERSTANDING YOUR ROLE IN THE NEW EVALUATION PROCESSES
38
MPES Circle Survey (30%)• All certified staff participate in the survey• Concise, secure survey (usually takes less than 30 min.)• MDE will establish survey criteria (tools must be valid, reliable, and research-based) and give districts a choice in which survey to use
• One choice is being developed by the Research and Curriculum Unit at MSU for MDE and will be free of charge to schools
• Survey comprises 30% of Summative Assessment Score for principal
• Survey includes 3 components: Certified Staff (10%), Principal (10%), and Supervisor (10%)
Circle Survey• Anonymous staff component
Survey completed online Each principal will have an assigned ID number that staff members will enter to match their feedback to the correct principal
Secure login information will be provided to certified staff members. Certified staff will complete the survey by entering the principal
ID number and their randomly assigned participant ID number.
• Survey may be completed at each participant’s convenience or in a lab setting
• Alignment of the survey score with the MPES 1-4 rating system
39
Circle Survey• How will the participant IDs be randomly assigned to certified staff?
Usually accomplished in one of two ways:1. Fishbowl method—participant IDs are randomly selected by each qualified survey participant.2. Survey IDs are randomly generated and given to an elected certified staff member in the school (who does not participate in the survey for that year) to distribute to qualified survey participants.
The principal and the MDE officials assessing survey results will have no way to link a specific participant ID to a specific certified staff member within a school.

Sample Key Processes of Circle Survey
• High Standards for Student Learning• Rigorous Curriculum• Quality Instruction• Culture of Learning & Professional Behavior• Connections to External Communities• Performance Accountability
Examples above based on the VAL-ED survey developed by Vanderbilt
University.
42
Sample Survey Question 1
“The principal fosters effective human resources leadership by assisting with selection and induction, and by supporting, evaluating, and retaining quality instructional and support personnel.”
Survey participant ranks principal on 1-4 scale or “No evidence.”
Example above based on James Stronge’s Principal Evaluation.
43
Sample Survey Question 2
“The principal fosters the success of all students by demonstrating professional standards and ethics, engaging in continuous professional development, and contributing to the profession.”
Survey participant ranks principal on 1-4 scale or “No evidence.”
Example above based on James Stronge’s Principal Evaluation.
CONCLUSION
Recap• Principal evaluation and teacher evaluation are changing across the nation due to federal requirements. Counselor evaluation is up next—see Lois Kappler’s presentation this afternoon.
• Mississippi’s principal evaluation system has already been reviewed favorably by the federal government.
• Teacher evaluation and SLOs are now being piloted by CTE populations.
• Teamwork and buy-in from all stakeholders are critical to our success.
• Patience is a virtue as we all assume new roles and responsibilities!
