We are attracted to shapes that mirror our personalities

A square…thrives in a stable environment with clear directions on what to do; is conservative and likes things orderly; if given a task, will work on it until it is finished, even if it is repetitiousand cumbersome; thinks logically, sequentiallyand collects data; has trouble making decisions;is an organizer

But if the square becomes a rectangle….you are a leader, decisive and able to focus on a goal. You enjoy learning new things and are confident about your opinions. You are the onlyshape who is not frozen

A circle….is a people person; has no hard edges; is the shape with the most empathy, perception, and consideration for others; always makes sure peoplecommunicate and there is harmony; listensand communicates well; is a harmonizer

A triangle….is a leader; is decisive and able to focus on a goal; gets motivated by the accomplishment; looks at big-long termissues but might forget the details

EE4NJ Teacher Evaluation System Goals

The NJDOE’s goals for a teacher evaluation system are to improve the effectiveness of all educators in New Jersey’s schools by• establishing a universal vision of highly effective teaching practice

based on a common language and clear expectations• implementing teacher practice measures that yield accurate and

differentiated levels of performance• providing teachers with targeted professional development

opportunities aligned to assessment and feedback to support their growth

• recognizing excellence, helping novice teachers and helping those experiencing difficulty

Key Elements of an Effective Evaluation System

• Annual teacher evaluations based on standards of effective teaching practices

• Every teacher, regardless of experience, deserves meaningful feedback on teaching performance each year

• Multiple measures of teaching performance and student performance

• With student academic progress/growth as a key measure• Four summative rating categories that clearly differentiate levels of

performance; used in the summative (annual) evaluation only• highly effective, effective, partially effective, ineffective

• A link from the evaluation to professional development that meets the needs of educators at all levels of practice

Student Growth Percentile (SGP)

• Method to measure student growth from one year to the next• Year 1 students are grouped with those who scored in the

same range as they did• In year 2 their progress is evaluated by comparing it to how

others in their previous year’s group scored– higher, lower, or stayed the same

Additional Questions• How will Special Education teachers, specifically ICS teachers

be evaluated?• How will specialists be evaluated?• Will our lesson plans change as a result of this new evaluation

model?• How formal will the reflection process be?• Will teachers have input before the evaluation is written?• Can I have a “do-over”?• How can subjects without state tests show student growth?• How does this affect tenure?• How often will the committee report back to the faculty?
