PARADIGM SHIFT

Transitioning from Teacher & Principal Quality to Teacher & Principal Effectiveness

Grassroots effort to develop teacher & principal expectations

Holistic approach to determining teacher & principal effectiveness

PARADIGM SHIFT

Use student data to inform evaluationMeet mandates associated with federal

fundingValidity and reliability studyMaintain teacher protections

Characteristics of the New System

• Moves the discussion from teacher quality (as measured by degrees/rank) to teacher & leader effectiveness (are students learning?)

• Focuses on teacher and principal professional growth; is fair and equitable to those being evaluated

Characteristics of the New System

• Developed through a collaborative, inclusive and transparent process

• Comprehensive/holistic approach incorporating multiple measures.

What are the

Multiple Measures?

What progress has been made to date?

• Through a focus group process, 25 volunteer districts recommended changes to the initial and subsequent rubrics over the course of 2010-11. A design team of KDE, KLA*, and Education Partners incorporated those changes to create revised version(s) of the rubric.

• The recommended changes were submitted to the steering committees on three

separate occasions for review and additional recommendations, using a focus group cycle to receive input. A professional development initiative within the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA).

Progress to Date: Implementation Cycle

The feedback loop provided local districts and steering committee members the opportunity to inform the work at each stage of the process.

Progress to Date: Guidance from Experts

• James Stronge (2-day training, April 2011; review of rubric), Charlotte Danielson, Robert Pianta, Doug Reeves, Jon Saphier, Laura Goe

• Experts on the Val-Ed* 360 degree component of the principal rubric are scheduled to be brought in to work with the principal effectiveness steering committee

• and volunteer districts.

The Vanderbilt Assessment for Leadership in EducationTM (VAL-ED) is a research-based evaluation tool that measures the effectiveness of school leaders by providing a detailed assessment of a principal's performance.

Timelines for Deployment of the New System

Next Steps: Development Work

• Continued steering committee and volunteer district meetings scheduled for the upcoming year.

• Revisions to the rubric will continue based on data gleaned from initial focus group and steering committee work.

• Large-scale field-testing will occur during the 2011-2012

school year.

• Communication of the status of the work to

interested parties through presentations to

organizations will continue (KASA, NMSA,

KAAC, KSBA, OVEC, KEDC, CKEC).
