Putting Evidence
Into Context<Insert Date Here>
<Insert Your Name>, Trainer
Learning Target:To have the skills, knowledge and confidence to use eVAL to support the integration of multiple measures of evidence into educator evaluation
Essential Questions:How do different types of measures and evidence fit into an evaluation cycle?
When submitting artifacts as evidence, why is it important to provide information about those artifacts to the evaluatee or evaluator?
How does the eVAL tool support multiple measures of evidence?

Important Principles About Evidence
1. The requirement for multiple measures of evidence over time (more than one).
2. Importance of quality over quantity
3. Based on naturally occurring documents and materials.
4. The importance of selecting artifacts that measure growth as described in your district’s adopted instructional framework.
Types of MeasuresFor Teacher Evaluations For Principal Evaluations
1. Planning documents 1. Classroom observations
2. Classroom observations 2. Parent and student surveys
3. Self-assessment & reflection 3. School climate surveys
4. Perception survey data 4. Evaluator/teacher/self reports
5. Peer evaluation
6. Portfolios
7. Student achievement data
8. Student work samples

Evaluation…from beginning to end
1. Self-assessment2. Goal-setting3. Evidence gathering4. Formative feedback5. Repeat Steps 3 & 46. Summative scoringSource:

To Prepare for ScoringEvaluatee’s self-assessment
Goal-setting conference
Gathering of formative evidence
against the framework(shared responsibility)
Conference with formative feedback
Repeat cycle of gathering formative evidence,
conferencing and feedback

Evidence vs. Artifacts
Evidence:Something that furnishes proofinstructional/leadership and professional practice ● student growth
Artifact:1. Something created by humans usually for a practical purpose.2. Something characteristic of, or resulting from, a particular
human institution, period, trend, or individual (evaluatee) .

ArtifactsObservations are appropriate for classroom or leadership-based activities, or other live professional activities.
STATE CRITERIA# CRITERIA
1 Centering instruction on high expectations for student achievement.
2 Demonstrating effective teaching practices.
3 Recognizing individual student learning needs and developing strategies to address those needs.
4 Providing clear and intentional focus on subject matter content and curriculum.
5 Fostering and managing a safe, positive learning environment.
6 Using multiple student data elements to modify instruction and improve student learning.
7 Communicating and collaborating with parents and the school community.
8 Exhibiting collaborative and collegial practices focused on improving instructional practice and student learning.
Observationsvs.
ArtifactsWhen observations won’t produce the required evidence, artifacts may be used as an alternate demonstration of growth or in the state’s criteria.

Multiple measures of evidence(more than one required for each area of growth identified)
Teacher communicates
frequently with families
about the instructional
program and conveys
information about
individual student
progress.
Teacher makes some
attempts to engage
families in the instructional
program.
Information to families is
conveyed in a culturally
appropriate manner.
1. Evidence of frequency: four weekly blogs with info re: instructional program.
2. Evidence of individual student progress: current grades on our district’s SIS.
3. Evidence of attempts to engage families: additional “family nights” offered.
