PVAAS Teacher Reporting: Teachers in Which Tested Grades/Subjects/Courses?

• PSSA: With/Without Accommodations (Not PASA)• Grades 4-8: Reading and Math• Grades 4 & 8: Science• Grades 5 & 8: Writing• Future: Transition into ELA Assessment

• Courses Culminating in Keystone Exams: With/Without Accommodations• Algebra I• Literature• Biology

Approximately 30-40% of your teaching staff will be

eligible for a PVAAS teacher specific score

9

What is content-specific instruction?• Responsibility to plan the instruction of the assessed

eligible content, provide the instruction of the assessed eligible content, and use the assessment information to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction of the assessed eligible content on a PA state assessment.• Defined on the Framework for Teaching by both

Domains 1 and 3:• Content specific instruction is a determination made

locally by the LEA.

10

Are special education teachers, intervention specialists, reading/math specialists, ESL teachers, and gifted teachers eligible for a PVAAS score?

• Yes, if the teacher is responsible for Domains 1 & 3.• There may be more than one teacher planning,

instructing, and assessing the students (i.e., co-teaching, team teaching).

Are instructional coaches eligible for a PVAAS score?

• If the role of the instructional coach is only to provide support and consultation to PA certified educator(s)/adults this does not meet the criteria for PVAAS teacher-specific reporting. • PVAAS teacher-specific reporting is provided

to those who provide content specific instruction to the students. (Framework for Teaching, Domains 1 and 3)

Ensuring Accurate Information: PVAAS Roster Verification

Provide PVAAS teacher specific reporting based on an accurate representation of a teacher’s responsibility and influence on the academic growth of students.

Essential Linkages in PIMS• Make sure the right teachers are linked to the right

students for the right proportion of instructional responsibility for the right tested grade/subject/course to yield PVAAS Teacher Reporting.
