Connecticut Educator Evaluation
Timeline
• In June 2012, the State Board of Education formally
adopted the guidelines for Connecticut’s Educator
Evaluation and Support model (SEED).
• During 2012-13 several CT districts are piloting SEED.
• Districts required to submit plan to CSDE April 15.
• Districts are required to implement their new Educator
Evaluator Plan July 2013.
• Committee is drafting Wethersfield plan and adjusting
as information is becoming available from the state.

Wethersfield
• A committee was formed in December 2012
• Consisted of:
–
–
–
–
Teachers selected by WFT (elementary, middle and high rep)
Administrators
Central Office administrators
Board of Education representatives
• Committee is tasked to:
–
–
–
Implement CT’s System for Educator Evaluation and
Development (SEED)
Meet requirements of new legislation
Finalize a new Teacher Evaluation process for Wethersfield
Public Schools based on SEED

Wethersfield’s Plan
• Core Requirements (mandated legislation)
• SEED Requirements
• Wethersfield Teacher Evaluation Plan is closely
aligned to SEED, but changes have been made
that meet state standards (core requirements)
• Committee is currently drafting new Teacher
Evaluation Plan to submit to CSDE and BOE

When teachers succeed,
students succeed
* Research has proven that no school-level factor
matters more to students’ success than high quality
teachers.
* Quality teacher evaluation drives:
•
•
•
•
valuable collaboration between evaluators and teachers
effective instruction
continuous teacher improvement
high standards for all learners
* No single measure can tell the full story about a
teacher’s performance.

Criteria #1 – 40%
Teacher Performance and Practice
Forty percent (40%) of a teacher’s evaluation shall
be based on observations of teacher Practice and
Performance.
Requirements of Evidence:
1. Teacher sets one goal (aligned to rubric).
Goal provides focus for:
a. Observation(s)
b. Artifacts, conferences

Category
All Teachers
Number of Observations
In the first year of implementation, all teachers
should be observed 5 times: 3 formal observations
and 2 informal observations in order to capture
baseline data.
• Formal Observation:
• Pre-conference
• Scheduled
• Minimum 30 minutes
• Post Conference
• Written feedback
• In-Formal Observation:
• Unscheduled
• Minimum 10 minutes
• Followed by feedback
10
Number of Observations
Subsequent Years
First and Second 3 formal observations; 2 of which include a preYear Nonconference and 1 informal observation
Tenured Teachers
Proficient and
Exemplary
1 formal observation and 2 informal observations,
including non-classroom observations or reviews
of practice
Below Standard
and Developing
3 formal observations; 2 of which include a preconference and 1 informal observation
11
Criteria #2 – 10%
Whole School Parent Feedback Survey
 Ten percent (10%) of a teacher’s evaluation shall be based on whole
school parent feedback via survey.
 Process focuses on:
1. Conducting whole-school parent survey
2. Determining school-level parent goals based on survey
feedback
3. Teacher and evaluator identifying one related parent
engagement goal
4. Measuring progress

Criteria #3 – 45%
Student Growth and Development
One half (22.5%) of the indicators of academic growth
and development used as evidence of whether
goals/objectives are met shall be based on:
*The state test for those teaching tested grades and
subjects (or)
*For other grades and subject areas another
standardized indicator where available.
14
Criteria #3 - Continued…
Student Growth and Development
 For the other half (22.5%) of the indicators of academic
growth and development, there may be:
* A maximum of one additional standardized
indicator, if there is mutual agreement
* A minimum of one non-standardized indicator
15
Criteria - #3 Creating
(S)tudent (L)earning (O)bjectives
YES
Will your students take
the CMT or CAPT in
your subject area?
Set one standardized SLO and
one non-standardized SLO
YES
NO
Will your students take
another standardized
assessment or district
assessment?
Set two non-standardized SLOs
NO
16
Student Learning Objectives
Student Learning Objectives will support teachers in using a planning cycle.
SLO Phase 1:
Learn about
this year’s
students
SLO Phase 2:
Set goals for
student
learning
SLO Phase 3:
Monitor
students’
progress
SLO Phase 4:
Assess student
outcomes relative
to goals
17
(I)ndicators of (A)cademic (G)rowth
and (D)evelopment (IAGDs)
Each of the 2 SLO’s must include at least one
IAGD.
IAGDs:
1. Specific evidence
2. Quantitative targets
3. Demonstrate whether the objective was met
18
Example of SLOs
The following are examples of Student Learning Objectives:

Criteria #4 – 5%
Whole School Learning Indicator
 Five percent (5%) of a teacher’s evaluation shall be
based on whole-school student learning indicators.
Purpose:
Teachers are part of a learning community, as such,
responsibility for learning is shared among all of the
school’s staff. This measurement is designed to reflect the
importance of this shared responsibility.
