A New Evaluation System for Washington’s Teachers and Principals Considering Multiple Measures Learning Targets Understand: • Requirements of RCW 28.405.100 • Variety and purposes of different measures • Benefits and challenges in your context • Exploring the possible measures of evidence at the local level Final Jeopardy • Read the article • With an elbow partner Identify and list the multiple measures used. • Talk about how this might inform your thinking about measures and evidence in teacher and principal evaluation. 3 In your teams • Facilitator: The person with the brightest red or close to red clothing. • Recorder: The person with the brightest blue or close to blue clothing. • Brainstorm and record on flip chart paper your ideas about the components of a well-functioning evaluation system. 4 A well-functioning evaluation system goes beyond the checklists commonly used in schools. A system must: (1) specify what must be measured, (2) define how it will be measured, (3) clarify how the measures will be applied consistently, (4) lay out a plan for providing feedback and continuous support and (5) have buy-in and leadership from key stakeholders. (6)It will also highlight how to use the evaluation results to improve school culture, educator practice and student outcomes. (“Getting It Right” NBPTS, 2011) Why Measure Effectiveness? • The ultimate goal of all measurement should be… • to improve teaching and learning. • An evaluation system should be designed to improve teaching, not “rate” or “rank” teachers or our school leaders.

When student growth data, if available and relevant to the teacher and subject matter, is referenced in the evaluation process it must be based on multiple measures that can include classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools. As used in this subsection, "student growth" means the change in student achievement between two points in time.

How valid a test depends on its purpose—for example, a ruler may be a valid measuring device for length, but isn’t very valid for measuring volume. Reliability: If a test is reliable, it yields consistent results. For example, a test can be reliable but not valid, both reliable and valid, or neither. Neither Reliable Reliable butor Not Valid Valid Valid Neither but not Reliable Reliable or Valid Reliable Valid butand notValid Reliable R Strengths and Weaknesses of Multiple Measures Jigsaw Activity • Number off 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
