Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
“…teacher quality matters – and… it matters a great deal. If we are committed to this premise, then we must be committed to populating our
schools with the highest quality teachers possible.”
Stronge, Gareis and Little (2006)
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
“The power of an effective teacher transforms a classroom into an exciting and fascinating place for students. Teachers who are passionate about their work and demonstrate an attitude of caring for their students help create a positive culture in
their schools and facilitate meaningful student learning. The Professional Growth and
Effectiveness System recognizes the extraordinary contributions teacher make every day in our
schools.”
Dr. Terry Holliday
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Effective teacher and school leadership depend on clear standards and expectations; reliable feedback; and the tools, resources and support for professional growth and continuous improvement.
The Professional Growth and Effectiveness System is designed to measure teacher and leader effectiveness and serve as a catalyst for professional growth and continuous improvement and is a key requirement of Kentucky’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act flexibility waiver and the state’s Race to the Top grant.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
With the passage of Senate Bill 1 in 2009, Kentucky embarked on a comprehensive system of education reform integrating:
relevant and rigorous standards
aligned and meaningful assessments
highly effective teaching and school leadership
data to inform instruction and policy decisions
innovation
school improvement
All are critical elements of student success, but it is great teaching supported by great leadership that will ensure all Kentucky students are successful and graduate from high school college/career-ready.

The Teacher PGES (TPGES)

Planning and Preparation
Classroom Environment
Instruction
Professional Responsibilities
Student Growth

Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Teaching is too complex for any single measure of performance to capture it accurately.
Assessing effective teaching requires multiple, valid measures supported by evidence.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Multiple Measures for Teachers:
Observation
Peer Observation
Reflection
Professional Growth
Student Growth
Student Voice
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Observation:
A principal is trained and certified to objectively identify effective teaching and document a teacher’s professional practice on multiple occasions, both formally and informally, in order to provide high quality feedback that can be used to improve practice.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Peer Observation:
A trained colleague observes and documents another teacher’s professional practice to increase observation reliability and provide supportive and constructive feedback that can be used to improve practice.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Reflection:
A teacher performs critical self-examination of practice on a regular basis to deepen knowledge, expand a repertoire of skills and incorporate findings to improve practice.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Professional Growth:
A teacher engages in professional growth planning specific to individual needs based on feedback and data from multiple sources and self-reflection.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Student Growth:
The impact a teacher has on a student or set of students as measured by multiple sources of data over time.
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Student Voice:
Student perception surveys provide a reliable indicator of the learning environment and give voice to the intended beneficiaries of instruction.
Example of Student Voice Survey Questions (3rd-5th)
My classmates behave the way my teacher wants them to.
My teacher pushed us to think hard about things we read.

What will PGES look like during the 2013/2014 school year?
During the statewide pilot, at least 10% of the schools in each district will implement PGES.
Teachers required per participating school:
ELA: 1-2
Math: 1-2
ELL/SPED: 1-2
Non-assessed: 2-3
Professional Growth and Effectiveness System
Additional schools within the district are encouraged to participate in the pilot.
Participating teachers should not be in their evaluation cycle year.
