Greetings DFT Members,<\/p>\n

The Teacher Evaluation Committee has met several times in order to make revisions to the Evaluation Process that will put us in compliance with state legislation. \u00a0Two of the biggest changes are the addition of a Growth Data Formula and modification to the timelines.<\/p>\n

The timelines need to be modified so that we comply with district policy on layoff, recall and teacher placement. \u00a0All Evaluations must now be completed and submitted to HR by May 10th so that we have enough time to implement our policies relative to staffing. In addition the state requires a report that must be submitted by the month of June regarding the specific rankings for teachers.<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the newly revised timelines on evaluations which can also be found on the HR blog. https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/humanresources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2013\/09\/Document2.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

The second biggest change is the addition of a growth data formula. State legislation requires that we use 25% growth data during the 2013-14 school year for all administrator and teacher evaluations. \u00a0That will increase each of the subsequent two years to the following:<\/p>\n

2014-15- 40% \u00a0and 2015-16 \u00a050%.<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the new formula that was approved by the teacher evaluation committee.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/humanresources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2013\/09\/Growth-Data-formula2.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

This formula allows for flexibility but at the same time complies with state legislation. Individual teachers with the approval of their administrators have the ability to choose their assessments within the categories listed in the formula. \u00a0We took a multiple measures approach to provide flexibility to teachers and administrators. This formula is in alignment with the recent report that was released by the Michigan Council for Educator Effectiveness (MCEE). The MCEE council was created by the legislature to make specific recommendations regarding teacher evaluations.<\/p>\n

In addition, we plan to explore methods for calculating the district accountability growth data since the accountability system is new at the state level. However, for now we will use the most recent data available as state legislation requires the use of multiple years of data.<\/p>\n

All Teacher Evaluation Documents and Templates can be found on the HR blog at the following link:\u00a0https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/humanresources\/evaluations\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I would like to thank the members of the evaluation committee for their hard work with revisions.<\/p>\n
