Formal Evaluation of Professional Practices BPS Instructional Performance Appraisal System Dimensions

Both are formative in nature, providing evidence for midterm, interim, and annual evaluationsObservers score only what they see and hearObservers may add or change data in the observation based on evidence collected from pre- and post-conferences with the teacher, review of student work samples and/or lesson plans, teacher attendance at parent conferences or professional development activities, as examplesFormal and Informal Observations

Observation ≠ Evaluation

The fixed mindset makes you concerned with how you’ll be judged; the growth mindset makes you concerned with improving.Carol Dweck, author of Mindset

Observations represent a snapshot, a moment in time.The annual evaluation is the movie, the whole picture of a year’s worth of professional growth and accomplishment.Key Learning:

The annual evaluation of professional practices will be worth a total of 45 points, 9 points per dimension.Teachers will continue to self-assess prior to the final evaluation conference.Administrators will review all evidence related to high quality teaching in assigning the final ratings (formal and informal observations, student work samples, parent communication, lesson plan, Edline, etc.)

Also derived from the requirements in State Board Rule 6A 5.065, Florida Educator Accomplished PracticesAdditional required elements includeDemonstrating continuous professional growthEstablishing purposeful professional goalsUsing data-informed research to guide and improve practiceCollaborating with professional colleagues to improve teaching and learning Professional Growth Plan Development and Implementation and Collaboration and Mutual Accountability Teams

A. Traditional PGP—action research, based on a teacher’s identification of a new skill, a new strategy, or a new method for improving instruction that the teacher wishes to tryB. Evaluation-based PGP—teacher uses 2015-2016 evaluation results to identify an element in the IPPAS rubrics to improve in order to reach a distinguished level of practice in that areaNew for 2016-2017: 2 PGP Options

Development: 8 points possiblePeer review team will continue to score, using revised rubrics, and scores will be averaged with administrator scoreImplementation: 10 points possibleAdministrator and Teacher will score, using revised rubrics, and scores will be averagedSee the revised forms and rubrics on the IPPAS website under Human Resources/EvaluationsNon-compliance: Failure to submit or implement a PGP may result in 0 points for non-compliance PGP Scoring

Collaborative teams of teachers will continue to meet regularly to plan together, examine student work, share effective strategies and feedback, to improve teaching and learningCollaborative teams of teachers will also share efforts to support and mentor struggling studentsNo student achievement scores will be tied to collaborative teamsCollaborative Teams

Team members will continue to self-assess and score each other, using the CMA rubricsTeam scores will be averaged for a total of 4 points possibleTeam members who believe a score has been unfairly entered will appeal to their principal for reviewCollaborative Teams

Scores will be determined by the achievement results of the teacher’s students on state or district standardized measuresTeachers of students who do not take the FSA (Florida Standards Assessment) will use the alternative measures identified in the updated IPPAS handbookVAM scores/Student Achievement Results will be assigned a categorical value, based on Highly Effective, Effective, Needs Improvement, UnsatisfactoryStudent Achievement:

Categorical values for student achievement will be assigned a scaled number worth a total of 33 possible points (1/3 of the final evaluation)Student achievement results will be added to Summative Part One results for a final summative rating of HE, E, NI, or USummative Evaluation Part Two:
