(EoCs) for Teacher Effectiveness

EoCs—Purpose

1. Use in Teacher Effectiveness

2. For HS students to meet graduation requirements (9‒12)

2

If EoCs are in the District/Charter Teacher Effectiveness Plan:

• Group A: 15% EoCs for Other Measures of Student Achievement

• Groups B: 35‒50% EoCs for Student Achievement Measures

3

If EoCs are in the District/Charter Teacher Effectiveness Plan:

• Teacher with multiple preps?

• ONE EoC

• More data = better results

4

PED-Developed EoCs

5

• Elementary, Middle, and High School

• Paper-Based Assessments (PBA)

• Student Performance Assessments (SPA)

• Core and elective subjects• Developed by groups of

NM Educators

• Include assessed standards and test blueprints

• Essential for teachers!

• Is the PED EoC appropriate for my class?

• Check framework.

• Assessed standards should align with curriculum.

District-Developed EoCs

When to create?

• If no EoC exists for a course

• If PED EoC does not align with curriculum*

*Must be significantly different

Made available statewide once approved

Quality Criteria on PED Website

District-Developed Common Assessments

12

May be used 2013‒2014 only.

Modified Quality Criteria for ease of development (on PED website).

Must be uniform across district.

Teacher-Developed EoCs

13

May be used 2013‒2014 only.

Developed by one teacher when no other teachers in school or district teach that course.

Modified Quality Criteria for ease of development (on PED website).

Growth Model

14

“Student Achievement Measures” based on growth model.

PED uses data of past student achievement to produce “projected score.”

Achievement compares “projected score” to actual student score.

Growth Model

15

If actual student scores are higher than projected student scores, teacher receives a high rating for Student Achievement Measures.

Model produces high correlation between predicted and actual scores.

16

EoCs

Correlation between predicted and actual EoC at the student level = .86

At the teacher level = .94
