Evaluation Reminders for Teachers- Rubric Formula and Student Growth Data reminders

This is a reminder regarding the evaluation formula that was previously posted. One is one the rubric formula and Two is on student growth data. Links to previous posts are listed below or you can search this blog.

We have come up with a set of rules regarding the end of year rankings for teachers.  The following new rules will be instituted.  In order for a teacher to be rated highly effective in a year end evaluation, the following conditions must apply in alignment with our process:

  1. * Receive a HE rating in Domain 3: Instruction plus at least two other domains
  2. * No ineffective components can be present
  3. * Receive a HE or Effective in all components.
  4. * The majority of components in a Domain must be highly effective in order to receive a highly effective rating in that Domain.

2. Here is the link to the post on growth data. 

Student Growth Data (25%). The administrator and teacher will meet to determine growth measures that follow the weighted formula listed below. All teachers will have the following student growth goal: All students must show growth or maintain proficiency based on growth measures that are used for the evaluation. It is understood that this does not mean that every student will necessarily be on grade level as we measure growth vs. achievement data.  For the NWEA if they maintain or exceed their RIT status for their grade level norm, that is considered growth.  

  • We will continue to meet and revisit our process.
  • We are trying to be flexible given the state mandates.
  • We are getting better each year at
  • measuring student growth data and will continue to enhance that process.

5% District growth based on state accountability measures and other student growth measures available to the District. We will continue to monitor state progress in this area.

10% Building Growth based on multiple measures which must include NWEA (reading, Language Usage, math and science), Explore, Plan, MME and State Accountability growth measures (when state data is made available).

10% Classroom Growth based on NWEA for the specific subject area, State Assessments, Classroom Assessments, DRA, Performance or product measures, other formative assessments, pre and post tests (specific % proficient) are required.

  1. 10% Classroom Growth based on NWEA for the specific subject area, State Assessments, Classroom Assessments, DRA, Performance or product measures, other formative assessments, pre and post tests (specific % proficient) are required.

    To get this right, I have been requested to turn in the data for my subject and classes. When looking at the NWEA fall scores and projected scores in the spring and doing the math, all of the projected scores are in the ball park of a 10% increase. To that end, if the student reaches the projected spring score or higher they have gone up the 10%. However, we do not have the spring scores yet and have to turn in the data. To that end, are we looking at those who have met that year end goal on the winter NWEA, projecting those who have gone up and are on target, and using an educated guess for the rest?

    • Hi We have previously mentioned that you would want to use the data that is available to this point. Are they are track for meeting growth goals based on data received to this point. In addition, we realize that we need to be flexible because this is the baseline year for NWEA testing. Listed below is information that was posted on the blog previously. Good luck.
