4 SCHOOL REFORM INITIATIVES Reforming the public school education system originates from many different places Federal Government No Child Left Behind Waivers Race to the Top Local School Boards Schools of Choice Local Government and Organizations Mission Graduate State Government School Grading Teacher and School Leader Evaluations 4

5 TEACHER AND SCHOOL LEADER EFFECTIVENESS HB249 Teacher and School Leader Effectiveness APS opposed this bill during the 2012 NM Legislative session Evaluation on one test score even though it is three years of scores it is still one test Timelines were too accelerated APS supported alternative legislation in 2012 and 2013 sponsored by Sen. Howie Morales Passed the House Floor but failed to pass out of Senate Judiciary and on to the Senate Floor Governor Martinez ordered, through Executive Order, a new evaluation system NCLB Waiver has a principle requiring evaluations be tied to student achievement Extensions for implementation have been granted by the US Government, however, NM has chosen not to take advantage of the extension. NMTEACH Council was created Members from around the state 5

6 HOW DID WE GET HERE? School Year: 5 APS schools participated in a limited pilot for the new observation rubric Summer 2013: APS & RRPS submit alternative evaluation plans to the NM PED which are later denied NM PED mandatory training for all principals and asst. principals on observation protocol July 2013: APS administrator training August 2013: Full implementation in every district in the state 6

10 HOW DO NEW TEACHER EVALUATIONS IMPACT MY STUDENT? 50% of a teacher s evaluation will now be based on standardized test scores Teachers will be held accountable for academic performance of their students In order to determine how well a student academically performs, the state must have a measure of that performance The state determines academic performance of students through standardized tests There are some teachers who teach grade levels and subjects not covered by existing standardized tests Examples include Fine Arts, advanced math courses and social studies 10

11 STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Student achievement will use 3 years of standardized test data whenever possible Student achievement will be based on Value- Added Model (VAM) scores The VAM is a formula developed by the NM PED just like the school grading VAM Individual student standardized test scores will be submitted to NM PED NM PED will run the VAM NM PED will use the VAM score to rank a teacher s effectiveness 11

12 WHAT IS VAM? The expected performance is based on prior performance after statistically accounting for factors through a value-added model. The difference between the expected performance and the actual performance represents the valueadded by the teacher s instruction. Value Added Prior Perf Expected Perf. Value Added 12

13 WHAT KINDS OF TESTS WILL MY STUDENT TAKE? Formative Assessment: The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments: help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work help faculty recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately Example: Interim Assessment Pop Quiz 13

14 WHAT KINDS OF TESTS WILL MY STUDENT TAKE? Summative Assessment: The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Summative assessments attempt to measure how much a student learned throughout a certain period of time, like a school year. Example: NM Standards Based Assessment (SBA) End of Course Exam (EOC) 14

18 NM STANDARDS BASED ASSESSMENT (NMSBA) NMSBA is a summative assessment Testing Window: March 10, 2014 April 4, 2014 The majority of testing will take the week of March 10 and the week of March 17. Some schools will move to online delivery of the NMSBA dependent on the school s tech readiness Spring 2014 SBA is a bridge assessment for the Partnership for Assessment Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) Common core items have been prioritized by the vendor as testing items Some schools will participate in the PARCC field test after NMSBA administration has concluded 18

19 WHAT WILL STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE NMSBA IMPACT? 1. School Grades The majority of a school s grade is determined by individual student performance on the NMSBA The better students perform on the NMSBA year-over-year (a.k.a show growth), the better the school s grade will be 2. Teacher Evaluation Results Teachers who teach grades and subject areas for which there is an NMSBA will have their teacher evaluation partially based on the results of the NMSBA If students do not perform well on the NMSBA, the teacher s evaluation score will be lower 3. Graduation Requirements High school students must show competency prior to receiving a diploma Achieving a passing score on the NMSBA is the primary way for a student to show competency for graduation 19

22 ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY INTERIM ASSESSMENTS Interim assessments are formative assessments Tests are given 3 times a year (Fall, Winter, Spring) First Testing Window: October 7, 2013 October 30, 2013 Some schools will move to online delivery of the interim assessment dependent on the school s tech readiness 22

23 WHAT WILL STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE INTERIM ASSESSMENT IMPACT? 1. Teacher Evaluation Results Teachers who teach grades and subject areas for which there is an interim assessment will have their teacher evaluation partially based on the results of the interim assessment If students do not perform well on the interim assessment, the teacher s evaluation score will be lower 2. Academic Improvement Plans and Instructional Planning If students are performing below grade level academic improvement plans are implemented at the school Results of interim assessments help plan the progression of courses enrolled in by students at the secondary level. 23

25 WHAT IS AN END OF COURSE EXAM? End of Course exams are summative assessments that most closely resemble standardized final exams. Students across New Mexico will take the same exams at the end of a school year to determine their academic performance in specific content areas. End of Course exams are created by the PED. 25

26 NM PED GUIDANCE REGARDING END OF COURSE EXAMS (EOC) If a statewide EOC exists, then the district must administer the statewide EOC If a statewide EOC does not exist, then the district may submit a district EOC for PED approval. If no statewide nor district EOC exists, then teachers will be evaluated based on other measures available (e.g., SBA, interim assessment, school grade) regardless of the content taught. 26

On October 28, 2013, the NMPED released a new memo with additional EOC retake options for graduation purposes. 32

33 END OF COURSE EXAMS All EOCs have been developed by the NM PED PED released the blueprints for all EOCs on Tuesday, Oct. 4, APS is currently reviewing these blueprints which outline the standards that each EOC will assess. APS will not have access to the EOCs prior to administration of the test NM PED s goal is to create an EOC for every subject area EOCs require the same test security as the NMSBA Teachers of record may not score the EOC of their own students Invalidation of EOCs will occur if test security and accommodation measures are not properly followed by APS staff APS is attempting to receive clarification from NM PED regarding scoring of and other issues regarding EOCs 33

34 WHAT WILL STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE END OF COURSE EXAM IMPACT? 1. Teacher Evaluation Results Teachers who teach grades and subject areas for which there is an EOC will have their teacher evaluation partially based on the results of the interim assessment If students do not perform well on the EOC, the teacher s evaluation score will be lower 2.
