1 SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY EVALUATION SYSTEMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEE The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) and the Palm Beach County Classroom Teachers Association (CTA) have established a Joint Evaluation Negotiations Committee (JENC) for the purpose of developing processes and making decisions concerning the implementation of the teacher evaluation system. The JENC is comprised of classroom teachers, principals, SDPBC administrators, SDPBC labor relations, teacher union representatives as well as representatives from Florida Education Association (FEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). 1. Evaluation Rating Criteria a. The SDPBC will implement the following overall final ratings in the school year: Highly Effective, Effective, Needs Improvement/ Developing and Unsatisfactory. The overall final ratings and weighting were developed and will be monitored by the JENC, which will recommend adjustments to the Superintendent for approval when appropriate. Ratings for Teachers with up to 2 years of service Highly Effective Effective Developing Unsatisfactory Ratings for Teachers in years 3+ Highly Effective Effective Needs Improvement Unsatisfactory b. Rubric scales and ratings for instructional practice are incorporated within the Marzano Observation and Evaluation System (MOES). The four domains within the MOES contain sixty elements of classroom strategies that contemporary research identifies to increase student achievement. Rubrics associated with each strategy identify the teacher s performance along a continuum from Innovating to Not Using. The ratings for instructional practice will be adjusted and monitored by the JENC, which will make recommendations for adjustments to the Superintendent for approval when appropriate. Rubric Scales Innovating Applying Developing Beginning Not Using Ratings for Instructional Practice Highly Effective Effective Developing Unsatisfactory Page 1 of 9 SDPBC EVALUATION SYSTEMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEE Updated 02/25/2015

2 c. The principal or supervisor of each instructional employee will be responsible for compiling the information and assigning the overall final rating. d. The overall final rating of each instructional employee will be based upon a two part system comprised of the MOES in combination with the state s required student growth measures. Current plans call for using a variety of statistical and standard setting models based on student learning growth. The final overall ratings were developed and will be monitored by the JENC which will recommend adjustments to the Superintendent for approval when appropriate. The overall evaluation will consist of the following components (overall evaluation rating calculations are included in Appendix 5): Overall Evaluation Components Teachers With 3+ of Data Non-Classroom Teachers and Teachers with less than 3 years of data Instructional 48% 58% Practice Deliberate Practice 2% 2% Student Growth 50% 40% Page 2 of 9 SDPBC EVALUATION SYSTEMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEE Updated 02/25/2015

3 Deliberate Practice Rating* Highly Effective % Effective 15-86% Need Improvement (Cat 2) / Developing (Cat 1A & 1B) 2-14% Unsatisfactory 0-1% Student Learning Growth Rating* Highly Effective % Effective 15-86% Need Improvement (Cat 2) / Developing (Cat 1A & 1B) 2-14% Unsatisfactory 0-1% 2. Student Growth Measures a. In school year , a committee (Assessment Steering Committee) comprised of district and school leaders as well as teachers was been formed to identify and/or develop assessments for all courses that are not associated with a statewide assessment. The statewide assessments that are predetermined to be utilized include 5 th grade Science, 8 th grade Science, ELA FSA 3-11, Math FSA 3-8, and the following EOC s: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Civics, Biology, and Geometry. The 50% calculation of student growth will consist of state standardized assessments assigned to courses and /or local assessments created as identified by F.S A chart of the local assessments to be utilized will be available when finalized by the Assessment Steering Committee. The SDPBC will use three years of student learning data (when available) when calculating the student growth measures for the educator evaluation. The rubrics to determine student growth ratings that will be derived from these assessments will be determined by the JENC. Palm Beach will develop/implement, a school board policy that includes the selection, development, administration, and scoring of local assessments. b. In school year , the SDPBC will investigate additional measures other than state assessments including but not limited to SAT, ACT, AP, PSAT, CPT, EOCs, PERT and Industry Certification Exams. As they become available, the SDPBC will implement additional student growth measures selected by the Commissioner for statewide assessments.

4 c. In school year , classroom teachers, non-fsa classroom teachers and non-classroom teachers (excluding substitute teachers) will be assigned the student growth scores from the FSA, Algebra I EOC, EOCs for non-algebra Courses, and other assessments identified by the Assessment Steering Committee. The student growth scores will count for 50% of the instructional employee performance evaluation if three years of student growth data are available. If less than three years of student growth data is available student growth scores will count for 40% of the evaluation. Teacher schedules will be used to determine which student growth scores will be utilized for evaluation purposes. Classroom Teachers In school year , the student growth measures portion of the evaluation of classroom teachers, excluding substitute teachers, will include student growth scores for the FY15 school year. Teacher schedules will be used to determine which student growth scores will be utilized for evaluation purposes. FY2015 Classroom Teachers & FY2015 Non FSA Classroom Teachers In school year , the SDPBC will utilize the Commissioner of Education s student learning growth formula for statewide assessments for teachers of all subject areas in grades The SDPBC will use student growth scores provided by the FLDOE for assessments with approved growth models. A committee (Assessment Steering Committee) comprised of district leaders, school leaders, and teachers has been formed to identify and/or develop assessments for all courses that are not associated with a statewide assessment. FY2015 Non Classroom Teachers In school year , school-based non-classroom teachers will be assigned the school student growth scores because they are responsible for all students in the school. The student growth scores will count for 50% of the instructional employee performance evaluation if three years of student growth data are available. If less than three years of student growth data is available student growth scores will count for 40% of the evaluation. Non-school based non-classroom teachers will be assigned the District student growth scores because they are responsible for all students in the District. Both school-based and non-school based classroom teachers will their own students growth scores if they are assigned ten or more students in both Survey 2 and Survey 3 (if they do have students assigned the student growth score calculation will be consistent with that of classroom teachers). The student growth scores will count for 50% of the instructional employee performance evaluation if three years of student growth data are available.

5 If less than three years of student growth data is available student growth scores will count for 40% of the evaluation. Four categories of Non-Classroom Teachers will be observed utilizing job specific observation instruments. These Non-Classroom Teachers are as follows: a. School Counselors b. Media Specialists c. Therapists d. Psychologists All other Non-Classroom Teacher will be observed utilizing MOES. 3. Core of Effective Practices a. The central purpose of the School District of Palm Beach County Instructional Employee Performance Evaluation System is to increase student learning and achievement by improving the performance of all instructional employees through a comprehensive program of support, training and documentation of teaching practices. b. The SDPBC will implement the state adopted model, the MOES. c. The MOES are aligned to the six Florida Educators Accomplished Practices as adopted by the Florida Department of Education (Appendix 1). d. The MOES are based on contemporary research. See attachments entitled: Research Based Validation studies on the MOES (Appendix 2) Contemporary Research on the Supervision and Evaluation of Teachers (Appendix 3) A Meta-Analytic Synthesis of Studies Conducted at Marzano Research Laboratory on Instructional Strategies (Appendix 4) e. The SDPBC partnered with Learning Sciences International to train district administrators that conduct or will be conducting evaluations/observations of instructional employees. The SDPBC will also develop capacity by identifying district and/or school level administrators to participate in Train the Trainers sessions to provide training for future evaluators/observers. f. The success of the new evaluation system is dependent upon the fidelity with which all administrators conducting the evaluations/observations adhere to the core of effective practices. The SDPBC will provide in-depth professional development on the MOES followed by training on the observations and other components of the evaluation system. After the initial training of school and district administrators, all administrators will complete Page 5 of 9 SDPBC EVALUATION SYSTEMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEE Updated 02/25/2015

6 Inter-Rater Reliability Training and participate in instructional rounds to ensure accuracy and consistency in observations. Ongoing follow-up will occur during scheduled meetings as well as through other content delivery options. By FY2014 all administrators will have a Level One Observer Certification in this observation/evaluation system. By FY2016 all administrators will have Level Two Observer Certification. 4. Annual Evaluation All instructional employees will be evaluated annually and notified of their results. Teachers new to the SDPBC and first year teachers will be evaluated twice. The SDPBC will adopt the state s recommended implementation as follows: a. FY2013, focus on compiling baseline data and providing feedback to sustain growth in professional practice. b. FY2014, evaluators/observers and instructional employees will learn about deliberate practice by studying the teaching competencies indicated in the MOES. c. FY2014, professional development initiates for Domains 2-4. d. FY2014, Domains 2-4 implemented. 5. Evaluator Training a. All SDPBC evaluators/observers responsible for evaluating instructional employees will be trained in the MOES. b.

7 Marzano s The Art and Science of Teaching will continue to be utilized as a resource when providing professional development to instructional and administrative personnel. The SDPBC will create resources for all principals to share with their instructional employees on deliberate practice as well as Domains 2, 3, and 4 prior to September The SDPBC and the CTA will provide ongoing communications to all instructional and administrative employees. b. All new instructional employees will be provided an opportunity to participate in professional learning opportunities pertaining to this new observation/evaluation system through school-based professional development, online book studies, and/or job-embedded professional development through Palm Beach County s New Educator Induction Program (Educator Support Program). 7. Evaluation by Supervisor All school based instructional employees will be evaluated by the school principal. The assistant principal will conduct observations and assist in the evaluation process. All non-classroom teachers will be evaluated by the employee s direct supervisor. 8. Teaching Fields Requiring Special Procedures The SDPBC and the JENC identified the following four employee groups that have job-specific observation instruments. The Non-Classroom Teacher groups these apply to are as follows: e. School Counselors f. Media Specialists g. Therapists h. Psychologists See the FY2015 Non-Classroom Teachers section on page three for more detail on how the above Non-Classroom Teachers will be assigned student growth scores. The MOES will be utilized during school year for all nonclassroom teachers not specified above. 9. Annual Review by the District At the conclusion of each school year, the SDPBC evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the new system in supporting improvement in instruction and student learning. This review was completed by exploring the following data: Page 7 of 9 SDPBC EVALUATION SYSTEMS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEE Updated 02/25/2015

8 a. Reviewing the results of instructional employee evaluations, SDPBC and school level trends. b. Reviewing the effectiveness of professional learning opportunities. c. Identifying strengths and weaknesses associated with the design and implementation. Based upon this review, the SDPBC decided to continue to provide professional learning opportunities for administrators and teachers to deepen their understanding of the MOES. 10. Multiple Evaluations for Newly Hired Teachers a. The SDPBC s newly hired employees will be categorized as 1A s for evaluation purposes. Category 1A employees will be evaluated twice. The first evaluation will be provided to the employee mid-year. If a Category 1A employee is hired prior to November 1, he/she shall receive the Instructional Practices portion of his/her evaluation prior to the end of January. The second evaluation will occur at least ten (10) working days prior to the employee s last duty day of the school year. 11. Multiple Data Sources for Final Evaluations a. The MOES will be used to collect evidence on instructional practices. b. The student growth measures as stated in Section 2, pages 2-3. c. Professional standards and ethics; school board policies, school policies and school based responsibilities and CBA. d. The SDPBC will continue to work collaboratively with the JENC to establish additional measures. 12. Improvement Plans The teacher evaluation system and the district and school improvement plans provide the foundation for improving teacher effectiveness and student learning. Data related to teacher observation and evaluation and student growth will be collected and analyzed from a number of sources, including but not limited to iobservation provided by Learning Sciences International, school improvement plans, and student data in the Educational Data Warehouse. 13. Continuous Professional Improvement a. The MOES is designed to support the professional growth of teacher s daily instructional practices. b. The SDPBC will utilize the iobservation System and Resource Library as well as student growth measures to provide timely and relevant feedback and professional learning opportunities to instructional employees.

39 Research Base and Validation Studies on the Marzano Evaluation Model, April 2011 Appendix 9 Research Base and Validation Studies on the Marzano Evaluation Model The Marzano Evaluation Model is currently being used by the Florida Department of Education (DOE) as a model that districts can use or adapt as their evaluation model. That Marzano Evaluation Model is based on a number of previous, related works that include: What Works in Schools (Marzano, 2003), Classroom Instruction that Works (Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock, 2001), Classroom Management that Works (Marzano, Pickering, & Marzano, 2003), Classroom Assessment and Grading that Work (Marzano, 2006), The Art and Science of Teaching (Marzano, 2007), Effective Supervision: Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching (Marzano, Frontier, & Livingston, 2011). Each of these works was generated from a synthesis of the research and theory. Thus the mode can be considered an aggregation of the research on those elements that have traditionally been shown to correlate with student academic achievement. The model includes four domains: Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors Domain 2: Preparing and Planning Domain 3: Reflecting on Teaching Domain 4: Collegiality and Professionalism The four domains include 60 elements: 41 in Domain 1, 8 elements in Domain 2, 5 elements in Domain 3 and 6 elements in Domain 4. The specifics of each domain are listed in Figure 1. For a detailed discussion of these elements see Effective Supervision: Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching (Marzano, Frontier, & Livingston, 2011).

Participating in district and school initiatives As indicated in Figure 1, Domain 1 contains 41 elements ( ); Domain 2 contains 8 elements ( ); Domain 3 contains 5 elements (3 +2) and Domain 4 contains 6 elements ( ). Given that 41 of the 60 elements in the model are from Domain 1, the clear emphasis in the Marzano model is what occurs in the classroom the strategies and behaviors teachers use to enhance student achievement. This emphasis differentiates it from some other teacher evaluation models. Teacher status and growth can be assessed in each component of the model in a manner that is consistent with the Florida DOE guidelines and the requirements of Race to the Top legislation Robert J.

43 Research Base and Validation Studies on the Marzano Evaluation Model, April 2011 The Research Base from Which the Model Was Developed Each of the works (cited above) from which the model was developed report substantial research on the elements they address. For example, The Art and Science of Teaching includes over 25 tables reporting the research on the various elements of Domain 1. These tables report the findings from meta-analytic studies and the average effect sizes computed in these studies. In all, over 5,000 studies (i.e., effect sizes) are covered in the tables representing research over the last five decades. The same can be said for the other titles listed above. Thus, one can say that the model was initially based on thousands of studies that span multiple decades and these studies were chronicled and catalogued in books that have been widely disseminated in the United States. Specifically, over 2,000,000 copies of the books cited above have been purchased and disseminated to K-12 educators across the United States. Experimental/Control Studies Perhaps one of the more unique aspects of the research on this model is that it has a growing number of experimental/control studies that have been conducted by practicing teachers on the effectives of specific strategies in their classrooms. This is unusual in the sense that these studies are designed to establish a direct causal link between elements of the model and student achievement. Studies that use correlation analysis techniques (see next section) can establish a link between elements of a model and student achievement; however, causality cannot be easily inferred. Other evaluation models currently used throughout the country only have correlational data regarding the relationship between their elements and student achievement. To date over 300 experimental/control studies have been conducted. Those studies involved over 14,000 students, 300 teachers, across 38 schools in 14 districts. The average effect size for strategies addressed in the studies was.42 with some studies reporting effect sizes of 2.00 and higher. An average effect size of.42 is associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. Stated differently: on the average, when teachers use the classroom strategies and behaviors in the Marzano Evaluation Model, their typical student achievement increased by 16 percentile points. However, great gains (i.e., those associated with an effect size of 2.00) can be realized if specific strategies are use in specific ways. Correlational Studies As mentioned above, correlational studies are the most common approach to examining the validity of an evaluation model. Such studies have been, and continue to be conducted, on various elements of the Marzano Evaluation Model. For example, such study was recently conducted in the state of Oklahoma as a part of their examination of elements that are related to student achievement in K-12 schools (see What Works in Oklahoma Schools: Phase I Report and What Works in Oklahoma School: Phase II Report, by Marzano Research Laboratory, 2010 and 2011 respectively). Those studies involved 59 schools, 117 teachers and over 13,000 K-12 students. Collectively, those reports indicate positive relationships with various elements of the Marzano Evaluation Model across the domains. Specific emphasis was placed on 2011 Robert J. Marzano.

44 Research Base and Validation Studies on the Marzano Evaluation Model, April 2011 Domain 1 particularly in the Phase II report. Using state mathematics and reading test data, 96% of the 82 correlations (i.e., 41 correlations for mathematics and 41 for reading) were found to be positive with some as high as.40 and greater. A.40 correlation translates to an effect size (i.e., standardized mean difference) of.87 which is associated with a 31 percentile point gain in student achievement. These studies also aggregated data across the nine design questions in Domain 1. All correlations were positive for this aggregated data. Seven of those correlations ranged from.33 to.40. These correlations translate into effect sizes of.70 and higher. High correlations such as these were also reported for the total number of Domain 1 strategies teachers used in a school. Specifically the number of Domain 1 strategies teachers used in school had a.35 correlation with reaching proficiency and a.26 correlation with mathematics proficiency. Technology Studies Another unique aspect of the research conducted on the model is that its effects have been examined in the context of technology. For example, a two year study was conducted to determine (in part) the relationship between selected elements from Domain 1 and the effectiveness of interactive whiteboards in enhancing student achievement (see Final Report: A Second Year Evaluation Study of Promethean ActivClassroom by Haystead and Marzano, 2010). In all, 131 experimental/control studies were conducted across the spectrum of grade levels. Selected elements of Domain 1 were correlated with the effect sizes for use of the interactive white boards. All correlations for Domain 1 elements were positive with some as high as.70. This implies that the effectiveness of the interactive whiteboards as used in these 131 studies was greatly enhanced by the use of Domain 1 strategies. Summary In summary, the Marzano Evaluation Model was designed using literally thousands of studies conducted over the past five or more decades and published in books that have been widely used by K-12 educators. In addition, experimental/control studies have been conducted that establish a more direct causal linkages with enhanced student achievement that can be made with other types of data analysis. Correlation studies (the more typical approach to examining the viability of a model) have also been conducted indicating positive correlations between the elements of the model and student mathematics and reading achievement. Finally, the model has been studied as to its effects on the use of technology (i.e., interactive whiteboards) and found it to be highly correlated with the effectiveness of that technology Robert J.
