2 Agenda Introduction to AchieveNJ Overview of Teacher Evaluation Teach. Lead. Grow. 2
3 What is AchieveNJ? AchieveNJ is a comprehensive educator evaluation and support system Teach: Help educators better understand their impact and ultimately improve student outcomes. Lead: Align leadership responsibilities with practices that we know have the greatest influence on learning. Grow: Foster an environment of continual growth for all students and educators in New Jersey. Introduction to AchieveNJ 3
4 AchieveNJ is Part of Broader Reforms Common Core AchieveNJ, together with the initiatives to implement Common Core Standards and PARCC assessment, form the key elements to improve student achievement. PARCC Instruction Evaluation and Support Student Achievement Introduction to AchieveNJ 4
5 Goal: Improved Student Achievement Parents are a child s first teachers, but teachers and principals have the biggest in- school impact on student learning. Research shows effective teaching can be measured. Better educator evaluations will improve teaching and learning so that all teachers and students perform at high levels. ADMINISTRATORS PRINCIPALS TEACHERS STUDENTS Introduction to AchieveNJ 5
6 Effective Teachers Make a Significant Difference Months of Learning Gained (Lost) Compared to Average Teacher Average Teacher +4.8 months -2.7 months State Math Test +2.9 months -3.2 months Balanced Assessment of Mathematics Top 25% of Teachers +1.4 months -1.4 months State ELA Test Bottom 25% of Teachers +5 months -5.8 months SAT9/Open-Ended Reading The difference between an effective and ineffective teacher can approach 11 months of learning for a student in one year.

27 Student Growth Percentile Overview Practice Student Achievement Teacher Practice Based on classroom observations Student Growth Objective (SGO) Set by teacher and principal Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Based on NJ ASK performance Summative Rating Overall evaluation score All teachers and principals Less than 20 percent of teachers TEACHERS 28
28 Calculating Student Growth Percentiles All students can show growth. Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) measure how much a student has learned from one year to the next compared to peers with similar academic history from across the state. Growth baseline information is established by a student s prior learning as measured by all of student s NJ ASK results. Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS: SGP 28
29 Student Growth Percentiles For Grades 4 8 teachers that are considered tested more information will be provided to you where you will have a chance to understand how SGPs are calculated and ask any questions about the process. Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS: SGP 29
30 Understanding Student Growth Objectives Practice Student Achievement Teacher Practice Based on classroom observations Student Growth Objective (SGO) Set by teacher and principal Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Based on NJ ASK performance Summative Rating Overall evaluation score All teachers and principals Less than 20 percent of teachers All teachers will set academic goals for their students at the beginning of each school year called Student Growth Objectives (SGOs). TEACHERS 38
31 All Teachers Set Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) Teachers with an SGP score Teachers without an SGP score 2 SGOs 2 SGOs SGOs: Annual, specific, and measureable academic goals for groups of students that are locally developed and assessed Creating an SGO: Collaborative process between teacher and immediate supervisor Principal has final decision SGOs can be based on: Appropriate national, state or LEA-developed assessments Rubric-measured portfolios or performance assessments Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS: SG0 38
32 Basic SGO Training 9:00 10:00 Today In setting SGOs, teachers should take the following steps: 1. Choose or develop a quality measurement tool (examples follow) that is aligned to applicable standards. 2. Determine students starting points based on available data. 3. With principal or supervisor input and approval, set ambitious yet achievable student learning goals. 4. Track progress and refine instruction accordingly. 5. Review results and discuss score with principal or supervisor. Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS: SG0 32
33 Summative Percentages for Graded Subjects Tested Grades and Subjects (Currently grades 4-8, LAL & math) SGOS 15% SGPS 30% TEACHER PRACTICE 55% 55% teacher practice 45% student achievement 41
34 Summative Percentages Non-Tested Grades and Subjects SGOS 15% TEACHER PRACTICE 85% Teacher in Non-Tested Grades and Subjects: Student Achievement will be 15% in SY13-14, Teacher Practice will be 85%. 42

The NJDOE will determine the actual scale prior to September Points 2.76 Ineffective Partially Effective Effective Highly Effective 1.75 Points Points Points 4.0 Points Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS 36
37 Summative Rating Timeline Rationale Teachers in tested grades and subjects in New Jersey will not receive their SGP scores in time for their summative conference. There are several reasons for this delay: 1. Full Year Snapshot of Growth: New Jersey does not give the NJASK until May. 2. Emphasis on Writing: The NJASK has more constructed response and long answer questions than many other states, so the test takes longer to score. 3. Careful Process: Once scores are finalized, there is a careful process for calculating student and teacher level SGP scores. Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS 37
38 Summative Rating Timeline Details At the summative conference, all available component scores (teacher practice, SGO results) will be discussed. SGP data will be available on the following timeline. Annual summary conference includes: available component measures. NJASK scores released. Department calculates SGP data and sends to districts the SGP and summative rating of each teacher with an SGP score. June October November/ December January Department collects all other component measures for teachers with SGP. Summative rating added to personnel file. Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS 38
39 Implications of Ratings Teachers rated Ineffective or Partially Ineffective receive support through Corrective Action Plans Once the system is fully implemented, districts will be able to identify Highly Effective teachers for recognition such as: Differentiated observation protocols Expanded career pathways and leadership opportunities Awards and recognition initiatives Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS 39
40 Teachers on Corrective Action Plans June December: If SGP isn t available, teachers use Practice measure until data is ready May September: Non-SGP Teachers, CAP is developed by September 15 By February 15: Extra observation done if CAP was created at beginning of school year Plan content: Clear improvement needs Specific goals and timeline Progress toward goals in plan: One extra observation and conference required mid-year Tenured teachers must have multiple observers Practice SGO SGP Summative TEACHERS 40
41 Agenda Introduction to AchieveNJ Overview of Teacher Evaluation Teach. Lead. Grow. Updated May 3,
42 Meaningful Feedback and Support Increased number of conferences (goal setting, post-observation) allows for increased and better professional conversation. More objective and nuanced observation ratings allow educators to reflect on practice with more depth. Student achievement scores based on student growth give teachers a more accurate idea of their impact and let them work with administrators to improve results. All information gathered helps tailor professional development to meet staff needs. TEACH. LEAD. GROW. 42
43 Commitment to Communication and Support Support Informational Materials and Sample Forms Presentations and Training Guidebooks Ongoing Communication Examples Informational guide and presentation Overviews of new measures Summative evaluation forms, Goal-setting forms, Sample templates Evaluation leadership rubric 8 regional presentations Implementation managers visit districts and schools Superintendent /Curriculum Directors roundtables Conferences and symposiums Goal-setting methodology and examples Principal evaluation Teacher evaluation Redesigned website: Phone support: (609) support: educatorevaluation@doe.state.nj.us Regular communication to school leaders and teachers TEACH. LEAD. GROW. 43
44 Helping All Students Achieve NJ students outperform children in most US states on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) But gaps persist, and student achievement still needs to improve in order to prepare our children to compete in a global economy. TEACH. LEAD. GROW. 53
45 Summary and Next Steps Training in September; Half Day in January and Throughout The Year Non-Tested Subcommittee Meeting Now Through End of Year for SGOs Teachers Will Have Resources and Training to Succeed Deliberate Practice - Focus on Teacher Growth Teacher Select Elements Creating Soft Landings Ensuring Highly Effective & Effective Summative Ratings are Attainable Meaningful Phase in Doing What is Right for Monroe! 54
