Teacher Self-Assessment

1. In each evaluation cycle, the teacher begins by completing the “Teacher Self-Assessment” in the online tools.

2. By using the rubric as a guide to examine their own performance, teachers can use the reflective data to focus the goals for professional development that are recorded on the PDP.

Scenario #1

• Teacher A is a probationary teacher hired in July and she has an assigned teacher mentor who teacher the same grade level. Teacher A completes an Orientation training to the NCEES with her mentor. She is assigned a Username and she creates her password in the NCEES. She logs in to complete a Self-Assessment online and provides access to her principal. Then she consults with her mentor to develop her Preliminary Professional Development Plan. She focuses on 2 goals in her PDP based on her Self-Assessment data. She meets with her principal for a Pre-Observation Conference prior to the first scheduled formal observation. During the conference, the teacher and principal discuss the teacher’s Self-Assessment, Preliminary PDP and the lesson to be observed. During the formal lesson observation and subsequent walkthroughs, the principal consistently assesses the teacher as lacking in Standard 4 Element D. The teacher has been provided extensive training in integration and utilization of technology in instruction, yet there is not evidence that the teacher is making progress facilitating technology enabled learning. The principal conferences and coaches the teacher for approximately 3 months and observes no improvement. What must the principal do to move the teacher to a Monitored Professional Development Plan?

Scenario #2• Teacher B is a career status who struggles to contribute positively to the work

of his department professional learning community (PLC). He resists the positive change initiatives in policies and practices that are developed by the School Improvement Team (SIT). Throughout the 2011-2012 school year his principal has provided guidance, support and encouragement to engage Teacher B. Teacher B calls local board of education members to complain about the district professional development sessions held to prepare teachers in his department to teach the new North Carolina State Standards in English Language Arts. He teaches HS Biology and he does not feel the need to attend professional development to support integrating the Common Core ELA Standards into the development of instructional units. He feels that his students are successful without adapting new strategies for integrating writing and informational texts into his lessons. In addition, he refuses to differentiate his instructional methods. After reviewing all the observations and evidences collected throughout the school year on Teacher B, his principal assessed the overall rating for Teacher B as developing in Standard 1 and 4 on the Teacher Summary Rating Form. How will those ratings on the Summative affect his Professional Development Plan next year?

Scenarios for PDP Development

• Preliminary PDP for new teachers

• Teachers with existing PDP that will roll over into the next school year

• Teachers who have previous work experience evaluated using the current NCEES, those PDP will roll over in the system

• Teachers with existing PDP that will roll over with areas of Not Demonstrated or Developing

– Monitored or directed PDP for the next school year

PDP Rollover into the Succeeding School Year

04/21/23 • page 15

Key Elements

04/21/23 • page 16

1. Must have a Summary Rating Form entered into the McRel System at the end of the current school year of evaluation cycle in order to have a PDP Roll Over into the succeeding school year.

2. Succeeding school year PDP will pre-populate with teacher demographic information.

Summary Ratings of Developing or Not Demonstrated Recorded on the Summary Rating Form at the end of the School Year

04/21/23 • page 17

1. Professional Development Will automatically populate in the rollover PDP any Standard and Element rated on the summary form as Developing or Not Demonstrated

2. Apply the LEA/Charter policy regarding moving the teacher in areas where improvement is needed

3. Apply LEA/Charter policy regarding the addressing areas of concern and improvement planning

PDP Form Roll Over• Any teacher who was evaluated using the NCEES in the

previous school year will have a PDP that will roll over into the succeeding school year

– PDP will be pre-populated with teacher demographic information

– Teachers’ summative rating form; if there are areas of developing or not demonstrated

– In the Teacher Evaluation Process manual there is a Teacher Summary Rating Form (p.39)

– Progress Toward Achieving Goals is an optional form found on p.38 in the Teacher Evaluation Process Manual. This is an excellent tool to use mid-year to support the progress of a teacher towards goals in each standard.

Formulate SMART Goals• Teacher Observation Rubric (Rubric for Evaluating Teachers)

• Peer Evaluation Rubric (Rubric for Evaluating Teachers)

• Self Evaluation Rubric (Rubric for Evaluating Teachers)

• Principal Self-Assessment (Evaluation Rubric)

• Principal Evaluation (Evaluation rubric)

• Teacher Summative Rating Form

• Principal Summary Rating Form

Three Levels of SupportEvery teacher will use a Professional Growth Plan to identify goals and

strategies to improve performance.

• Teachers who are rated as “Proficient” or higher on all Standards will develop an Individual Growth Plan and discuss with the principal

• Teachers who are rated as “Developing” on any Standard will be placed on a Monitored Growth Plan that has been developed and will be monitored by the principal and the teacher.

• Teachers who are rated as “Not Demonstrated” on any Standard or has a rating of “Developing” for two sequential years will be placed on a Directed Growth Plan that has been developed and is monitored by the principal.

• Monitored and Directed Plans meet the state guidelines of an “action plan”. Individual districts determine those recommendations.

SMART Goals and PDPs

• SMART Goals provide a process for effective goal setting

• Any existing observations and/or artifacts guide the goal setting

SMART Goals Process

SMART• Specific and Strategic goals are clearly

stated, long-term and aligned

• Measurable goals:

• Attainable or achievable:

• Results-oriented:

• Time-bound:

Data for Setting Goals

• Determine greatest area of need

• Determine the range of improvement

• Review hard and soft data over time

Goal Setting Process

• Use SMART Goals template

Demo Site

How does a teacher add comments to a rubric?

How often is the demo site refreshed?

Is the mentor able to sign the preliminary PDP?

Will the online system change a lot for the 2012-2013 school

year?

End of the Year Requirements

Final Summary Rating Form

Required for all probationary teachers and teachers in the renewal cycle

Review the components in the demo site

If your LEA is only adding the summative rating data

Remember these tips

• Make sure the spreadsheet is accurate

• If spreadsheet needs attention, updates, changes, the district/charter school contact must email it to evalinfo@mcrel.org

• If teacher or principal does not know their UID, they must contact you, the district/charter school contact to get the information

• Teachers and principals must complete the summary rating form

• Principals and teachers must electronically sign the summary rating sheet in the online tool

Reminder

• Full use of the system is required beginning July 1, 2011

• You are the local expert

– You will provide the necessary training and support for your colleagues
