Guidance
• Teacher and Principal Effectiveness Steering Committee(s) (KASA, KSBA, KEA, JCTA, CPE, colleges and universities, EPSB, parents, and individual teachers, principals and superintendents).
PARADIGM SHIFT
Transitioning from Teacher & Principal Quality to Teacher & Principal Effectiveness
Grassroots effort to develop teacher & principal expectations
Holistic approach to determining teacher & principal effectiveness
PARADIGM SHIFT
Use student data to inform evaluationMeet mandates associated with federal
fundingValidity and reliability studyMaintain teacher protections
Characteristics of the New System
• Moves the discussion from teacher quality (as measured by degrees/rank) to teacher & leader effectiveness (are students learning?)
• Focuses on teacher and principal professional growth; is fair and equitable to those being evaluated
Characteristics of the New System
• Developed through a collaborative, inclusive and transparent process
• Comprehensive/holistic approach incorporating multiple measures.
What progress has been made to date?
• Through a focus group process, 25 volunteer districts recommended changes to the initial and subsequent rubrics over the course of 2010-11. A design team of KDE, KLA*, and Education Partners incorporated those changes to create revised version(s) of the rubric.
• The recommended changes were submitted to the steering committees on three
separate occasions for review and additional recommendations, using a focus group cycle to receive input. A professional development initiative within the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA).
Progress to Date: Implementation Cycle
The feedback loop provided local districts and steering committee members the opportunity to inform the work at each stage of the process.
Progress to Date: Guidance from Experts
• James Stronge (2-day training, April 2011; review of rubric), Charlotte Danielson, Robert Pianta, Doug Reeves, Jon Saphier, Laura Goe
• Experts on the Val-Ed* 360 degree component of the principal rubric are scheduled to be brought in to work with the principal effectiveness steering committee
• and volunteer districts.
The Vanderbilt Assessment for Leadership in EducationTM (VAL-ED) is a research-based evaluation tool that measures the effectiveness of school leaders by providing a detailed assessment of a principal's performance.
Next Steps: Development Work
• Continued steering committee and volunteer district meetings scheduled for the upcoming year.
• Revisions to the rubric will continue based on data gleaned from initial focus group and steering committee work.
• Large-scale field-testing will occur during the 2011-2012
school year.
• Communication of the status of the work to
interested parties through presentations to
organizations will continue (KASA, NMSA,
KAAC, KSBA, OVEC, KEDC, CKEC).
