Multiple Measures

Principal Effectiveness Ratings as Defined in Act 82 Form 82-2 available on CIU 20 Website

• For the overall principal effectiveness rating, we know that… – 50% will comprise the observation/practice piece (Framework for Leadership).

– 15% will be derived from building level data (School Performance Profile – SPP).

–

15% will be determined by the relative strength of conversation regarding the connectedness between average teacher observation/practice ratings and teacher-level measures.

– 20% will incorporate Elective Data / SLOs for principals.

(note: for 2014-15, elective data is optional) 4

Correlation Data

Based Upon Teacher Level Measures

• It was recommended that we adopt a process that

focuses on the conversation

between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader based on the principal’s knowledge, understanding and intended use of the evidence / data presented. • The rating for correlation data is based on a

qualitative assessment

by the supervising administrator of the

level of understanding

(0, 1, 2, or 3) of the quantitative analysis conducted by the principal / school leader. 7

Performance Level Descriptor “Walk”

• Look at the “Performance Level Descriptor Chart” in your packet.

• What are your “Noticings?” • Familiarize yourself with the definitions of the Performance Level Descriptors.

• How is this an integral part of the “Correlation Conversation?

Correlation Data

Based Upon Teacher Level Measures

• To aid the supervising administrator in assigning a correlation rating (0, 1, 2, or 3), a

Performance Level Descriptor Chart

has been developed.

• This chart will provide guidance for rating the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader regarding the connectedness between Teacher Level Measures and Observation and Practice (Framework for Teaching) ratings.

• Teacher Level Measures “shall include, but not be limited to any combination of one or more of the following data” • Building Level Data / SPP • Teacher Specific Data (PVAAS, etc.) • Elective Data / Teacher SLOs 9

Correlation Data

Performance Level Descriptor Chart

• The conversation will be measured based upon the principal /school leader’s understanding of these aspects: –

Degree

of understanding of evidence presented regarding the relationship between teacher-level measures and teacher observation and practice ratings.

–

Quality

of explanation provided for observed relationships between teacher-level measures and teacher observation and practice ratings.

–

Plans

goals.

for how the data will be used to support school and LEA 10

Correlation Data

Looking at “Connectedness”

• The conversation will be based upon the

connectedness

between teacher level measures and observation/practice ratings.

• The following charts (displayed on subsequent slides) may be used to determine the relative strength of the connectedness between the teacher level measures and observation/practice (Framework for Teaching) ratings.

•

Note: The ranges within the charts are based upon the conversion tables within PA 82-1 (Teacher Rating Tool).
