• Every child in every classroom will be taught by a highly effective teacher.
• Every school in every district will be led by a highly effective principal.
PGES is one system. OPGES & TPGES are distinguished by the frameworks for observation used in each setting.
The purpose of the OPGES portion of PGES is to meet the needs of other professionals who impact student learning but are not in a traditional classroom setting.
The OPGES pilot during the 2014-2015 school year does not permit evaluation for personnel decisions.
Other Professionals will be evaluated using the OPGES framework in 2015-2016.
Categories
Library Media Specialists
School Guidance Counselors/Social Workers
Speech Pathologists
School Psychologists
School Instructional Specialists/ coaches o personnel who work a portion of their day with students and a portion
with teachers.o interventionists whose full responsibility is working with students, such
as reading recovery or math intervention will use the TPGES framework.

The 2014-15 OPGES pilot will be comprised of individuals who are:oTenured oHave an EPSB certificationoNot in their summative year, unless a
counselor*** If the district is running a dual system during 2014-2015 and Other Professionals are on a yearly summative cycle, they may participate in the pilot.
All districts are required to participate in the OPGES pilot and should identify at least one person from each of the categories.
Districts may select more than one participant per category.
Schools that have participants participating in the OPGES pilot will also have principals/assistant principals participating as primary evaluators.
Peer Observers are required for OPGES. (Peer does not need to be an “Other Professional”)
Other Professionals designated to participate or who wish to volunteer can have principals register them this summer using KDE's web collector. https://applications.education.ky.gov/login/
Guidance on how to register using the web collector is available on the KDE/OPGES webpage. http://education.ky.gov/teachers/PGES/otherpages/Pages/default.aspx
(It is possible that some districts will not have pilot participants in all 5 categories. If the ‘met criteria’ button is not marked, it is ok, districts should continue registering participants they do have available.)
The OPGES pilot is designed to take feedback from the field and develop a system that best accommodates these roles.

Take a moment to look over the individual “specialist” framework.
What do you notice an accomplished professional does?
Are Other professionals in your school already doing these skills? If so then they are accomplished.

Looking deeper: Sources of Evidence:
o Student Growth Goals
OPGES – growth goals.o May be connected to school goals, similar to
principals and assistant principals student growth goals.
• (i.e counselors or instructional coaches.)
o OPGES have more emphasis on local growth goals, not state goals.
o OPGES goals may not be directly academic. Use many sources of data. (ex. Counselor – reducing # of behavior referrals.)
o OPGES goals will impact other academic areas.
o Samples as to what ‘Other Professionals’ growth goals look like, will be created by the committee, teachers in the field, Effectiveness coaches & PGES consultants.
• (As Student growth goals cannot be written without current year student data, these samples will be available in the fall after school starts.)
o Growth goals are not completed until beginning of school year after needs of that years students are determined.
Common misconceptions
I don’t have test scores, how can I make a goal?
Facts A student growth goal
will help the academic goals, but may not be directly related to test scores. Many sources of data are used.
o Ex. Counselors goal designed around reducing behavior referrals. This in turn allows the student to be in class more often, therefore increasing instructional time.
Common misconceptions
I only see my students a few times each month or my student groups are constantly changing. How can I make a goal for each kid?
Facts Student growth goals
are not built around individual students. They are built on group needs determined at the beginning of the school year.
Goals built on what impact an individual teacher/ professional has on students.
Common misconceptions
I don’t have a regular group of students, my work is more teacher support and training.
Facts Student growth goals for
principals are similar to professionals in this situation. They are building student growth goals to support unique groups or needs within the school
Student Growth goals can be similar to a teacher the Other professional works with.
Think: 1. What matters most for my content
area? 2. How do I know? – what standards,
expectations, etc. guides my work? 3. What makes it meaningful?
Before writing goals – gather your content standards/ expectations. Know what is important. Plan it out. Development of the goal is key.
Tools:oEnduring skills list, Content or
program standards, processes, understanding or concepts expected to be mastered.

On your own . . .
Learning that: • ENDURES beyond a single test date,• is of value in other disciplines, • is relevant beyond the classroom• may be necessary for the next level of instruction.
1 goal per year is written Can be specific to a particular group/ age. uses data beyond KPREP or MAP tests etc…
o Ex. – Counselors -Create a goal around reducing behavior referrals. Measured by a decrease in the number of office referrals.
o Speech – Increase communication skills in the ability to comprehend, express, and articulate information.
• Non academic goals of OGPES will still impact academic growth.• (example = less office referrals = more time in class learning.
• Increase of communication skills impacts all subject areas.)
Enduring learning: • ENDURES beyond a single test date,• is of value in other disciplines, • is relevant beyond the classroom• may be necessary for the next level of
instruction
How does your school collect data?
How do you collect data in the library, counseling office, speech center, etc.?
Which data can you use to measure student growth?
Previous years’ data Conversations with previous teachers Formative assessment processes Student work
This is NOT the baseline data used for developing a student growth goal.

Once you know your studentsOnce you know your studentsDecide on sources of evidence that can provide pre- and post-data on student progress toward the identified skills & concepts for your content area.
By the end of the 2013-14 school year,
all of my 4th grade students (100%) will show
growth in summarizing key ideas and details
in what they read. Each student will improve
by 2 or more levels on the rubric developed
by my PLC team for summarization.
In addition, xx% of students will score Proficient or above on the rubric by the end of the year.

By the end of the school year, xx% of my fluency students will show growth in verbal discussion and questioning. Each student will show growth by volunteering to participate in class discussion or ask a question during class at least 1 time per week. In addition xx % will score proficient on the fluency rubric designed by my district special education team.
By the end of the school year, xx% of my student with receptive language goals will improve their reading ability by at least 2 levels as measured by the fall pretest and spring post test. In addition xx% will score proficient on the spring test.
By the end of the school year students with 4 or more behavior referrals will show growth in acquiring the attitudes, knowledge and skills that contribute to effective learning in school. Each student will reduce their number of referrals compared to the previous years data. In addition, xx% of these student will reduce their behavior referrals by 50%.

Looking deeper: Sources of Evidence:
oProfessional Growth Goals
What do I want to change about my practice that will positively impact student learning?
What is the plan of action?
How will I know if I accomplished my objective?
Professional growth data is not student growth data
Should show evidence of change in teacher practice
Examples:• PL agenda or completion certificate• observational data• staff or student surveys• website hits
During the school year, I will improve my questioning techniques to engage students in higher level critical thinking and problem solving. I will implement learning from study of Thinking Strategies. Growth will be evidenced through lesson plans, observation, self-reflection, and student work samples.
During the 2011-2012 school year, I will learn to incorporate online writing tools in my writing workshop. After collaborating with the technology resource teacher to investigate Google Docs and other on-line tools, my students will have opportunities to write independently, collaboratively and give/receive feedback using the tools. This will be evidenced by student writing samples, lesson plans, and reflection.
Looking deeper: Sources of Evidence:oObservation
OPGES – Observations/ site visito Evaluator will be observing/ reviewing
all 4 domains. • Evaluator may be observing an “Other Professional” during ‘planning time’ or when no students are present.
oMay observe more samples/evidence around domains 1 & 4 rather then domains 2 & 3.
oPrimary evaluators will be ‘Teachscape’ certified.• Will receive extra guidance on what OPGES observations look like.
• Variation in OPGE observation comes in the use of the specialist frameworks and in pre-conferencing with the “Other Professional” to discover what will be observed.
oPeer Observer does not have to be in the ‘Other Professionals’ category.
• It is encouraged that ‘other professionals’ in the same building act as peer observers for each other if possible, or the peer may be a classroom teacher. (ex. Counselor observe librarian & vice versa.)
• Variation in OPGE observation comes in the use of the specialist frameworks and in pre-conferencing with the “Other Professional” to discover what will be observed.
• Peer observers complete the KET Peer observation training.
How many observations/site visits will be required for each individual?o All teachers/ professionals have 4
observations by their summative year. The usual cycle is 3 principal observations and 1 peer observation.
• See the District CEP for the observation cycle determined by your district.
Who do you think should do peer observations?Stepping outside your contentStepping outside your grade level
What difference can a peer observation make?New perspective on prior knowledge Cross content collaboration leads to continuity for students
Looking deeper: Sources of Evidence:oStudent Voice
All Teachers/ Professionals will participate in a Student voice survey. Student voice is required by Kentucky regulation.
Feedback will be gathered during the OPGES pilot. Other Professionals Student voice survey will not be administered in Infinite Campus. (details to come)
Student Voice results are used to provide formative feedback and evidence of effectiveness to other professionals and school administrators. Additionally, it is one source of evidence used to determine an educator's Overall Professional Practice Rating. They are also to be used in a professional conversation between teacher and evaluator for Professional learning needs.
CIITSEDUCATOR DEVELOPMENT SUITE (EDS)
All other professionals will need to have access to CIITS. All portions of PGES will be submitted into CIITS. Please verify all staff have login information.
