Professional Growth

Self Reflection

Student Voice

Student Growth

All measures are supported through evidence.

Explanation of Multiple Measures

Student Growth Quantitative measure of the impact a teacher or principal has on a student (or set of students) as measured by student growth goal setting and student growth percentiles.

Student Voice Student feedback around teacher performance based on survey data

Professional Growth Increased effectiveness resulting from experiences that develop an educator’s skills, knowledge, expertise and other characteristics

Self ReflectionCritical self-examination of practice on a regular basis to deepen knowledge, expand repertoire of skills and incorporate findings to improve practice

Peer Observation Process of a peer observing another’s professional practice and observable behaviors, providing supportive and constructive feedback for formative purposes

Observation Evaluator’s observation, documentation and feedback on a teacher’s professional practices and observable behaviors

Documents or demonstrations that indicates proof of a particular descriptor. Should be a natural by-product created through the process of teaching

• Clarifying lessons (Success Seems Feasible)

• Challenging students (Press for Effort, Perseverance and Rigor)

• Consolidating knowledge (Ideas get Connected and Integrated)

Student Growth Measures

Goal Setting for Student Growth• Applies to all teachers

Student Growth Percentiles• Applies to grades 4 – 8 reading & math
