Evaluative Evidence

Evaluative evidence provides documentation of a teacher's attainment of performance expectations. The

types of evaluative evidence are as follows:

FORMAL OBSERVATION - an extended observation, usually the length of a class period. When the

formal observation is an announced observation, the teacher will be afforded the opportunity to complete a pre-observation form prior to the week of the observation (Appendix B). The announced formal

observation will take place within a week’s specified time period to view the instructional activities of the teacher. See Evaluation Process Overview for Description of the Announced or Unannounced nature of observations.

INFORMAL OBSERVATION - a short unannounced visitation (duration usually 10-15 minutes) by the

evaluator to observe the teacher in any of the domain areas.

In addition, ARTIFACTS can be presented and reviewed as needed to document attainment of performance expectations. Artifacts are materials that relate to or affect instruction (e.g. lesson plans,

assessments, unit planning materials, study guides, homework assignments, student work, professional development documentation, technology integration, student intervention documentation, newsletters,

communication logs, discipline logs, emails, agendas, professional development presentations, IB

portfolios, and other materials of a similar nature).

Evidence, specific to areas of teaching such as counseling, art, music, physical education, instructional coaches, etc. may be developed and used to provide feedback on teachers’ performance relative to the Performance Expectations.

Post-Observation Conference

This conference is to be held after each formal or participatory observation to reflect upon all observed performance indicators. A copy of the observation with the evaluator’s comments and observation notes will be given to the teacher within a reasonable time after the conference. At the conference, the teacher and evaluator will: 1. Review all performance expectation(s). 2. Provide encouragement to the teacher to continue with practices that are performed at a high

level. 3. Answer questions and clarify expectations of the evaluator. 4. Suggest pieces of evidence/artifacts the teacher could use to document attainment of performance

expectations. In addition to items 1-4 above, if the evaluator has determined that the teacher’s performance in a domain is at the Improvement Necessary level, the teacher and evaluator will: 1. Review the specific performance expectation(s) not being met. 2. Specify what is needed to improve the level of performance shown on Appendix B. 3. Provide resources and guidance to the teacher in goal setting. When the level of Ineffective or Improvement Necessary is selected for one or more Performance Indicator, a Plan of Assistance is not required. However, if the evaluator determines that there is a significant lack of proficiency in any domain area or specific teacher performance expectations rated as Improvement Necessary or Ineffective, then the administrator may:

1. Implement a Plan of Assistance at the conclusion of a scheduled Post-Observation Conference 2. Schedule a Mid-Year Conference for Ineffective, or Improvement Necessary performance to

develop and implement a formal Plan of Assistance.

Plan of Assistance (Mid-Year Conference) for Ineffective or Improvement Necessary Performance This conference is only to be held if at a Post-Observation Conference it is determined that there is a significant lack of proficiency in any domain area specific teacher performance expectation(s) rated as Improvement Necessary or Ineffective. The purpose of this conference is to develop/implement a formal Plan of Assistance for the teacher. When developing/implementing the Plan of Assistance (Appendix D), the evaluator will: 1. Identify and review the specific performance expectations not being met. 2. Specify what is needed to improve the level of performance as shown on Appendix B. 3. Provide suggestions, resources, strategies, and support the teacher may use to improve

performance. 4. Provide timelines for the teacher to follow when addressing performance expectations, ensuring

the teacher has reasonable time to show improvement. 5. Provide ongoing observations and feedback to the teacher throughout the duration of the plan. The Mid-Year Conference POA may be implemented during a Post-Observation Conference. Whenever a teacher is required to have a Mid-Year Plan of Assistance, the building principal will inform the Director of Human Resources who will, in turn, inform the Association President.

Summative Evaluation Conference &

Summative Evaluation Documentation

A Summative Evaluation Conference between the primary evaluator and a teacher receiving an Effective or Highly Effective rating is NOT REQUIRED. The primary evaluator or the teacher may request a Summative Evaluation Conference. If a conference is requested, the evaluator will: 1. Review all performance expectation(s). 2. Provide encouragement to the teacher to continue with practices that earned Effective and Highly

Effective ratings. (Acknowledge some of the teacher’s strengths or achievements that led to Effective and Highly Effective ratings.)

3. Answer questions and clarify the reason(s) for the overall performance level.

A Summative Evaluation Conference between the primary evaluator and the teacher IS REQUIRED if the teacher’s overall rating is determined to be Improvement Necessary or Ineffective. At the conference the evaluator will: 1. Review all performance expectation(s). 2. Provide encouragement to the teacher to continue with practices that earned Effective and Highly

Effective ratings. (Acknowledge some of the teacher’s strengths or achievements that led to Effective and Highly Effective ratings).

3. Answer questions and clarify the reason(s) for the overall performance level. 4. Discuss with the teacher the evaluative recommendation for the next school year (i.e. Renewal,

Non-Renewal, or Plan of Assistance).

In the event a teacher was placed on a Plan of Assistance initiated at a Mid-Year Conference, an additional Plan of Assistance may or may not result depending on expectations met at the time of the Summative Evaluation Conference. A printed final Summative Evaluation will be provided to the teacher at the conclusion of the rating process (this may or may not be available at the time of a Summative Evaluation Conference. Due to the likely delay in receiving test scores from the IDOE or delays in testing windows, Summative Evaluation documents may not be available to teachers in printed form until the following school year. All information, including individual Performance Indicator scores, comments, and available Student Achievement and Growth measure scores will be accessible through Standard for Success. (See Appendix C). Comments made by evaluators on the Summative Evaluation are only required if the teacher is rated in the Improvement Necessary or Ineffective categories. Teacher Submission of Student Achievement Measures as Part of the Summative Evaluation Prior to submitting Student and Achievement and Growth Measures, teachers must acknowledge that all protocols and expectations were followed with respect to assessment security and integrity and honesty in reporting student information. Should it be determined that expected protocols were not followed, the teacher shall receive a score of “0” for the appropriate Primary or Secondary Measure.

based on the teacher’s performance during the current school year. A Plan of Assistance initiated after

March 15 will remain in place until the entire summative evaluation instrument (Appendix C) is completed.

At the conclusion of the Plan of Assistance, the evaluator will make a judgment as to whether the teacher will be recommended for renewal or non-renewal or be placed on an ongoing or additional Plan of Assistance.

If the evaluator and the teacher cannot jointly establish the Plan of Assistance, the administrator shall do so unilaterally. The evaluator shall monitor the teacher's progress in following the plan and hold a conference with the teacher. At this conference (refer to conference form), the evaluator will: If the status of the teacher is Improvement Necessary - make a judgment as to whether the teacher has progressed to a performance level of Effective or Highly Effective or will be required to have a Plan of Assistance for either Improvement Necessary or Ineffective. If the status of the teacher is Ineffective - make a judgment as to whether the teacher will be recommended for renewal or non-renewal or be required to have a Plan of Assistance for either Improvement Necessary or Ineffective. Whenever a teacher is required to have a Plan of Assistance, the building principal will inform the Director of Human Resources who will, in turn, inform the Association President. Second Evaluator When a teacher has been placed on a Plan of Assistance for Ineffective performance level(s), at the option of the teacher or the administrator, a second evaluator shall be appointed by the Superintendent or designee. The second evaluator will be an administrator in the building of the teacher making the request/primary evaluator making the request (or if necessary, an administrator from another building that possesses appropriate expertise). Notice of this appointment shall be sent to the teacher and the Association president. The second evaluator shall review the Plan of Assistance and previous evaluations. In addition to the evaluator, the second evaluator shall monitor the teacher's progress on the plan and make a judgment on contract renewal. The second evaluator's judgment is moot if the evaluator concludes that the objectives of the plan have been met. The second evaluator and primary evaluator will discuss the teacher’s progress and status with the final responsibility of determination of employment status resting with the building principal.

Negative Impact on Student Learning

IC 20-28-11.4-4 (c) (4) and (6) requires that the following provision be included in each school district’s teacher evaluation plan: A provision that a teacher who negatively affects student achievement and growth cannot receive a rating of highly effective or effective. Negative Impact on Student Learning will be determined by the following:

Teachers Receiving Growth Measure Data from IDOE (Classroom Teachers Grades 4-8 E/LA and Mathematics): Negative Impact is characterized by a significant decrease in student achievement and a significantly low level of student growth. If teachers’ year 1 ISTEP mean minus year 2 ISTEP mean is greater than or equal to 15 AND the teacher’s median growth percentile is less than or equal to 15, then the teacher will be determined to have a Negative Impact on Student Learning. If there is a determination of Negative Impact, and the teacher’s combined rubric and student achievement and growth summative level is Effective or Highly Effective, the summative level will be reduced to no higher than Improvement Necessary.

All Other Teachers: If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning. Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement. When a teacher falls into the Ineffective category within the Student Achievement and Growth Component of the Summative Teacher Evaluation criteria, the evaluator will communicate with the teacher regarding what other classroom measures will be examined and the teacher will have the opportunity to explain and provide context to the classroom data prior to a final determination of Negative Impact on Student Language will be made.

Number of Teacher Days Required for a Qualifying Evaluation – Planned Leave

A Qualifying Evaluation refers to an evaluation of a teacher that has attended a minimum number of days required for the evaluation to be considered for any additional compensation resulting from the collective bargaining process. Any teacher who plans to teach at least 120 instructional days in a school year should follow procedures of administering and documenting student achievement and growth measures (SAGM). These measures should be written with all planned extended leaves in mind: both the assessment of student learning and content mastery standard should consider the timing and duration of the teacher’s planned absence. The evaluator must approve all parts of these student achievement measures. If an unplanned extended leave is necessary, and the teacher’s approved measures are therefore not appropriate, the percentage of the teacher’s summative rating that would have been based on the student achievement and growth measures will be moved to the percentage based on the Washington Township Teacher Performance Expectations Rubric (TPER) at 100%. The weighting of the points will be adjusted as necessary for the designation of the teacher’s performance level.

DAYS PRESENT EVALUATION PROCESS

120+ days No change – As prescribed.

46-119 days Summative rating based upon measures available and appropriate: TPER, SAGM weighted for their category. Rubric score will include data from at least one formal and

one informal observation by primary evaluator.

0-45 days Evaluation declared incomplete for the school year. Implications for eligibility for pay raises will be determined through the collective bargaining process.

NOTE: Should unexpected illness or absence prevent a teacher from who is present for less than 120 days from completing student achievement and growth measures data, the evaluation shall be completed using only the TPER at 100% as noted in the above chart. If the teacher’s unexpected illness or absence prevents a principal from completing at least one formal observation and one informal observation, the evaluation shall be declared incomplete. A teacher who questions how his/her summative rating is affected by an extended leave may request a meeting with the building principal.

Formal Plan of Assistance

Teacher:

Evaluator:

Type of Assistance Plan: Improvement Necessary Ineffective

If a teacher’s Summative Performance level is Improvement Necessary, the evaluator will determine if the teacher’s overall performance or performance on selected expectations requires a formal Plan of Assistance. If a teacher’s summative performance level is Ineffective, the evaluator will meet with the teacher to determine a formal Plan of Assistance. If, during a Post-Observation Conference, it is determined that there is a significant lack of proficiency in any domain area or specific teacher performance expectations have been rated as Ineffective, then the teacher and administrator will: 1. Schedule a Mid-Year Conference to develop and implement a formal Plan of Assistance. 2. Review what will occur at the Mid-Year Conference. A Plan of Assistance shall be established between the evaluator and the teacher to include the following:

Plan Components Action/Comments

1. Note the specific performance expectation(s) not being

met. Refer to the appropriate Teacher and Student Evidence associated with the referenced performance

expectations.

2. Refer to the appropriate Teacher and Student Evidence (Rubric with Evidences) associated with the identified

performance expectations addressed in this plan. Make additions to or clarify evidence in order to assist the

teacher in meeting the expectations of the Plan of Assistance. Note below the Teacher/Student evidences to

be addressed.

3. Note the system that will be used to monitor this Plan of Assistance. Examples: increased number of classroom walk-throughs, formal or informal observations; methods of collecting feedback from teacher on assigned reading; scheduled follow-up meetings; manner that teacher may submit written evidence or examples of student work.

4. Note the resources and support that will be extended to

the teacher to assist in meeting the expectations of the Plan of Assistance. Support may include the services of a

fellow teacher to serve as a classroom observer (non-evaluative), coach or mentor.

Appendix E Test Security Procedures and Expectations Policy

MSDWT Teacher Signature – Test Security Local Assessments Form Every teacher must sign a form indicating that he/she understands the requirements and expectations regarding ethical testing and reporting procedures. The MSDWT Teacher Signature – Test Security Local Assessments Form can be found in Appendix F of the Guidebook or on the Teacher Evaluation website: www.msdwt.k12.in.us/teacher-evaluation/

This acknowledgement form must be signed, either in paper form or through electronic signature through an online training platform such as Safe Schools, by any staff member responsible for the handling, administration, scoring, storage, transport, or development of assessments used in the Student Achievement and Growth Measure as part of the MSDWT Teacher Evaluation System. Acknowledgement of the receipt and understanding of the information below is required of all teachers and is IN ADDITION to any documentation required by any other agency or organization. Faculty will be required to complete any and all training and documentation related to required standardized testing through the state of Indiana or the United States Department of Education.

Fidelity and Integrity: Requirements and Potential Consequences Quality instruction leads to better learning, which will be reflected in higher assessment scores. Narrowing the curricula to align to the content of an assessment, however, is weak pedagogical practice that erodes the measurement process. Any individual with a license granted by the IDOE who violates the Code of Ethical Practices and Procedures as established and published may face disciplinary action by MSDWT, and/or other applicable remedies available under the state and federal laws.

Test Examiners and Their Role Statewide Tests The assessments are to be administered only by personnel who hold a license granted by the Indiana Department of Education. The license must be an instructional, administrative, or school services license. Personnel not properly trained and certified (e.g., teacher’s aides, secretaries, or substitute teachers who do not hold one of the above mentioned licenses) may not serve as test examiners. (For state assessments, they may serve as proctors.) In no case may unlicensed personnel be allowed to supervise the test administration without the guidance of a test examiner. Local Assessments Assessments that impact teachers’ Primary or Secondary Measure as part of the MSDWT Evaluation System should be administered by the classroom teacher, or a trained employee. The MSDWT administration understands that circumstances may impact a teacher’s ability to administer the assessment on the specified day or individual student circumstances exist impacting the teacher’s ability to administer the assessment.

Administrative Guidelines for Teacher Performance Evaluations

Property of MSD of Washington Township | 26 Updated 5/15/2018

Teachers should: Follow department protocol when administering, scoring, recording, and storing student

assessments Administer assessments whenever possible Consult department chair or principal when assessments are scheduled and teacher must be

absent Use district-wide protocols when administering assessments such as NWEA or other commercially

designed assessments Follow student’s IEP or ILP – if an Instructional Assistant (IA) is trained and approved to administer

local assessments, in most cases, the IA will be allowed to administer or proctor If an IA or other non-certified staff administers the assessment, take all steps necessary to protect

the security, confidentiality, scoring, reporting, and storage of test materials per district/department expectations

Test examiners should be thoroughly familiar with the tests to be administered and with the procedures to be followed during testing. This includes reviewing the MSDWT Testing Security and Integrity Agreement electronic signature page through Safe Schools. The above information referenced from the Indiana Department of Education Office of Assessment. To ensure test integrity: Give students the test only one time per administration (pre and post). Tests should be administered to all students on the same day. Absent students should make the

test up as soon as possible. Do not review questions or answers with students at any time throughout the year. Students should not grade the assessments. Do not send tests home with students. Make assurances against cheating (students may not take the test in groups). Monitor students and do not alter their answers. Teachers may not complete answer documents for students unless required by the student’s

IEP. Pre-tests must show effort. Incomplete essays and multiple-choice tests with excessive blanks

will not be considered complete and will therefore count as not passing, regardless of the post-assessment score. We suggest monitoring students during test administration, as the test cannot be given again at a later date.

Hints, helping tools, detailed instructions, etc., are not allowed. If they are an integral part of your test, they must be clearly identified in your documentation, approved by your principal and given on both the pre and post-assessments.

It is NEVER appropriate to: Coach students by indicating in any way (e.g., facial expressions, gestures, or the use of body

language) that an answer choice is correct or incorrect, should be reconsidered, or should be checked.

Allow students to use any type of mechanical or technical devices (calculators, computers) unless the test directions allow such use, or the device is documented as a necessary and allowable testing accommodation.

Answer students’ factual questions regarding test items or vocabulary. Read any parts of the test to students (except as indicated in the test directions, or as documented

as an acceptable IEP, Section 504 Plan, LEP Individual Learning Plan, or nonpublic school Service Plan). In no case may reading comprehension questions be read to the student.

Alter students’ answers—other than to check and erase stray marks, or to darken answer bubbles after testing.

Call students’ attention to the fact that a similar question is on the assessment. Use current, past, or parallel items as test preparation materials—except when those items have

been released specifically for test review purposes by the Indiana Department of Education or MSDWT Administration

Develop and use elaborate review materials (workbooks, worksheets, etc.). Set aside blocks of time to teach only the content and skill proficiencies measured on the

assessment. It is a violation of test security to: Give examinees access to test questions prior to testing. Copy, reproduce, or use in any manner any portion of any secure assessment book, for any reason. Alter answer documents after testing—other than to check and erase stray marks, or to darken

answer bubbles. Share an actual test instrument in a public forum. Deviate from the prescribed administration procedures specified in the Examiner’s Manual or

procedures specified by MSDWT Administration in order to boost student performance. Make answer keys available to examinees. Participate in, direct, aid, counsel, assist, encourage, or fail to report any of the acts prohibited in

this section. Score student responses on the test locally before submitting the assessment for scoring to the

test contractor, as designated by the Indiana Department of Education (Statewide Assessments).

Testing Materials Procedures & Security

[State Standardized Tests] The Corporation Test Coordinator/Department Chair/Administrator must: Inventory and track assessment materials.

Algebra I End of Course Assessment (ECA) is a criterion-referenced assessment developed specifically for students (including 7th and 8th graders) completing their instruction in Algebra I. The test is aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards for Algebra I. Students must pass the Algebra I ECA to graduate from high school. http://www.doe.in.gov/achievement/assessment/end-course-assessments-ecas Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) is given at the end of each semester. Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) is a formative assessment used for grades 1-3 to identify reading level and to determine whether more intensive services are needed. http://www.scholastic.com/parents/resources/article/book-selection-tips/assess-dra-reading-levels End of Course Assessment (ECA) is given by the state in Algebra, English 10, and Biology. Formative Assessments are part of the instructional process and provide data needed to adjust teaching and learning while it is happening. Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress Plus (ISTEP+) measures student achievement in the subject areas of English/Language Arts and Mathematics (Grades 3 through 8, and 10), Science (Grades 4 and 6), and Social Studies (Grades 5 and 7). ISTEP+ reports student achievement levels according to the Indiana Academic Standards. An Applied Skills Assessment and a Multiple-Choice Assessment are used to measure these standards. http://www.doe.in.gov/achievement/assessment/istep-grades-3-8 IREAD-K – 2 http://www.doe.in.gov/achievement/assessment/iread-k-2 IREAD-3, given in March to all 3rd graders, is a state test identifying students needing remediation/possible retention for not reading on grade level. http://www.doe.in.gov/achievement/assessment/iread-3 Math AYP Assessment is a formative assessment given to identify strategies and skills that students in grades K – 5 did and did not learn. Math CFAs are formative assessments given in grades 1 - 5 that inform instruction and identify strategies and skills students did and did not learn. Math Facts Benchmarks are formative assessments given three times a year in grades 1–5 to identify strategies and skills students did and did not learn. NWEA MAP for Primary Grades (MPG) are computer adaptive interim assessments given three (3) times per year in grades K – 2 in reading and mathematics. They are untimed cross-grade assessments used to determine current educational levels. They are also used as a universal RTI screener. https://www.nwea.org/assessments/map/map-for-primary-grades/ LINK NO LONGER VALID NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) are computer adaptive interim assessments given three (3) times per year in grades 2 – 10 in reading, language usage, and mathematics.

Skills Navigator (NWEA) are short classroom assessments given frequently (approximately once a week) that cover K – 8 skills in mathematics, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and language usage. They are used as Tier II progress monitoring tools. https://www.nwea.org/assessments/skills-navigator/ Summative Assessments are administered periodically to determine what students know. District examples are end-of-unit or chapter tests, end-of-term or semester exams, and state assessments. WIDA ACCESS are the annual assessments administered to K – 12 in late winter each school year, preceding the Applied Skills ISTEP+ assessment window. These assessments are given to students currently classified by LAS Links as Levels 1-4 and to students who have NOT received a Level 5 classification for two consecutive data points. These assessments test proficiency in the four domains of communication: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Writing CFAs are common formative assessments used to inform instruction to identify strategies and skills students did and did not learn.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples

of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the

Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of

standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student

Learning. Example:

Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam

If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of

standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential

standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review

student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential

standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure

Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam

If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of

standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a one (1) on Primary Measure

Teacher receives a one (1) on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam

If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review

student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential

standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student

learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the

teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning. Example:

Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam

I f the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will

be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to

show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having

a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of standards (examples of achievement may be

defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student Learning.

Example: Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly

Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of

standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student

Learning. Example:

Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure

Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating

score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

Definition of Negative Impact on Student Learning

If a teacher scores a 1 (Ineffective) on BOTH his/her Primary and Secondary measures then the primary evaluator will review student learning data available for all of the teacher’s students. If more than 50% of students failed to show achievement of

standards (examples of achievement may be defined as 70% or higher on the subject or grade level locally designed summative assessment, other locally determined levels of proficiency as defined by rubrics, or proficiency on essential standards as defined by curriculum guides) then the teacher shall be determined to be having a Negative Impact on Student

Learning. Example:

Teacher receives a 1 on Primary Measure Teacher receives a 1 on Secondary Measure Less than 50% of students earn at least a 70% on final exam

If the teacher’s summative rating (rubric and Student Achievement and Growth) together should yield a summative rating score in the Effective or Highly Effective range, and the teacher meets the criteria of Negative Impact on Student Learning, the

summative score will be reduced to a level no higher than Needs Improvement.

achievement or growth data to be counted for the Student Achievement and Growth Component of the evaluation.

Student attendance and enrollment definitions and circumstances are varied and often complex. Creating a one size fits all application to attendance and enrollment does not account for the unique student

situations, variations in the length of courses, days available to deliver instruction, and unusual and extraordinary circumstances that can impact students’ lives. The sections below will serve as guidance and attempts to provide some level of consistency in the

application of Student Achievement Data.

State Mandated Tests

The IDOE will provide teacher ratings of 1 through 4 based on student achievement/growth on ISTEP+ for

teachers in grades 4-8 in the subjects of English/Language Arts and Mathematics.

ISTEP+ Rosters will be provided to teachers. The rosters will include students that are currently assigned to

the teacher in the IDOE database. Teachers will be given the opportunity to review their roster

The teacher will be given the opportunity to request students’ removal from the effectiveness rating data. Primary evaluators must approve all requests for student data removal.

In order for a student to be considered for removal from the data, the teacher must show compelling evidence to the evaluator that the student should be removed. Some examples of potential

considerations include:

Student was assigned to Opportunity School for nine (9) weeks

Student was shared with another teacher (due to instructional needs) resulting in the student’s presence in the teacher’s classroom for less than the minimum number of days – however the

student continued to remain on one teacher’s roster for the duration of the course, school year or semester.

Student missed significant number of days and the teacher provided numerous opportunities for

make-up work, worked with the parents, counselors, administrators in meetings to create a plan to assist the student

Teacher followed up with student in before-and-after-school settings to tutor, provided opportunity for make-up work, communicated with home, etc.

Student experienced a traumatic situation on or during the testing time (ex. fire in the home, DCS

intervention in the home, parents incarcerated, etc.)

Local Assessments Refer to subject/grade level guidance (grade level page in Student Achievement Guidebook) for student

enrollment/attendance and use of data. Teachers will be responsible for maintaining accurate student attendance data.

Teacher should retain records and verification of student attendance if the record is other than data maintained in Skyward.

See your evaluator for questions.

In order for a student to be considered for removal from the data, the teacher must show compelling

evidence to the evaluator that the student should be removed. Some examples of potential considerations include:

Student did not meet the criteria of being continuously enrolled in a teacher’s classroom on or

before the twentieth (20) student day.

Student was assigned to Opportunity School for nine (9) weeks. Student was shared with another teacher (due to instructional needs) resulting in the student’s

presence in the teacher’s classroom for less than the minimum number of days – however the student continued to remain on one teacher’s roster for the duration of the course, school year or

intervention in the home, parents incarcerated, etc.).

ELL Levels, Special Needs Students and Data

ENL teachers and Special Education teachers should refer to their specific Student Achievement

Measures guidance to determine student eligibility.

General Education teachers may request the exclusion data for ELL’s when the following conditions exist: 1. The student is an ENL Level 1 or 2 and;

2. The student was enrolled in a US school after August 15 of the school year preceding the current school year’s fall assessment – (Example: A Level 1 or 2 student enrolled in a US school on August 30, 2014,

may be eligible for removal from teacher evaluation data for a 2015 fall standardized test) or;

3. The student was enrolled in a US school after January 1 of the school year preceding the current school year’s spring assessment - (Example: A Level 1 or 2 student enrolled in a US school on January 6,

2015 may be eligible for removal from teacher evaluation data for the 2016 spring standardized test). The teacher will be responsible for gathering enrollment information on each ELL on the class

roster.

The teacher will be responsible for providing the evaluator the relevant documentation.

All ELL’s in Levels 1 through 4 should be given proper accommodations according to the students’ Individual Learning Plan (ILP) for all assessments used in determining teachers’ Primary or Secondary Measure.

Prior to removal of any ELL, the primary evaluator must approve the removal.

General Education teachers shall include data for all ELL’s when the measure is a growth measure (i.e. NWEA, STAR Reading, STAR Math, Pre/Post Tests).

In addition to the above criteria, in order for a student to be considered for removal from the data, the teacher must show compelling evidence to the evaluator that the student should be removed. Some

examples of potential considerations include:

Student did not meet the criteria of being continuously enrolled in a teacher’s classroom on or before

MSDWT Test Construction Guidance Document For Use in Assessments Applying to Student Achievement and Growth Measures Component of Teacher Evaluation

The following definitions are used to determine the cognitive level of individual test items. All questions and content should be aligned with grade level state or common core standards for the specific grade.

The assessment questions should extend and deepen student knowledge and measure what students truly

need to know for the future.

Assessments must contain at least 25 multiple choice questions with at least four answer choices per

question.

Multiple choice assessments should have 25% of their questions from level one, 50% from level two, and 25% from level three. Level four is generally only applicable to some performance assessments and open

ended questions.

Level 1 – Basic Recall (25%)

Basic recall of information or facts, requires use of simple skills or abilities (e.g., recall, observe, define, describe, name, list, select, identify, label or recognize).

Level 2 – Application of Knowledge (50%) Using information, organizing information, requiring two or more thought processes (e.g., comprehend,

compare, summarize, explain, trace, interpret, or organize).

Level 3 – Analysis (25%) Cognitive demands are more complex and abstract, requires breaking a situation or problem into

components or parts, strategic thinking, planning, using evidence (e.g., generalize, synthesize, predict,

solve, draw a conclusion, analyze, judge, justify, evaluate, or assess).

Level 4 – Thinking Beyond Requires creating something new or devising a new approach based on applying or evaluating information

(e.g., performance assessments, open ended questions, argue, or debate).

The questions used on the pre and post assessments should not be provided to students on any other

assignment or assessment.

Pre-Test/Post-Test Guidance and Procedure

The Pre/Post-test method is designed to measure students’ growth in knowledge and/or skill over the course of a unit of study or grading period. The Pre/Post-test method can be helpful to teachers in determining growth toward achievement on specific standards or a blend of standards within a course.

However, the method is challenging to implement. The following considerations must be addressed prior

to approval of the use of the Pre/Post-test method.

PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE: The Pre/Post-test method is only appropriate when the teacher can reasonably anticipate that most students possess enough knowledge and skill to perform at an adequate

level on the Pre-Test administration. The Pre/Post-test method is especially challenging to implement in

subjects of which the students would not have a direct prerequisite course such as World Languages, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and World History. If there is likelihood that most students will have difficulty

completing the test, or have the ability to provide a measurable effort on a significant portion of the test, another method of student measure may be appropriate.

If, after the Pre-Test administration, a significant number of students fail perform at an extremely low level, the test may be rejected as part of the teacher evaluation.

FULL UNIT OF STUDY: The Pre/Post-test method must address, at minimum, a complete unit of study

or a complete grading period.

RIGOR OF TEST QUESTIONS MUST BE BALANCED:

Below is adapted from Austin Independent School District REACH Initiative The following definitions are used to determine the cognitive level of individual test items.

All questions and content should be aligned with grade level state or common core standards for the specific grade.

The assessment questions should extend and deepen student knowledge and measure what students truly

need to know for the future.

Test Security Procedures and Expectations Policy

MSDWT Teacher Signature – Test Security Local Assessments Form

Every teacher must sign a form indicating that he/she understands the requirements and expectations regarding ethical testing and reporting procedures. The MSDWT Teacher Signature – Test Security Local

Assessments Form can be found in Appendix F of the Guidebook or on the Teacher Evaluation website:

www.msdwt.k12.in.us/teacher-evaluation/

This acknowledgement form must be signed, either in paper form or through electronic

signature through an online training platform such as Safe Schools, by any staff member responsible for the handling, administration, scoring, storage, transport, or development of assessments

used in the Student Achievement and Growth Measure as part of the MSDWT Teacher Evaluation

System.

Acknowledgement of the receipt and understanding of the information below is required of all teachers and is IN ADDITION to any documentation required by any other agency or organization. Faculty will

be required to complete any and all training and documentation related to required standardized testing

through the state of Indiana or the United States Department of Education.

Fidelity and Integrity: Requirements and Potential Consequences

Quality instruction leads to better learning, which will be reflected in higher assessment scores. Narrowing the curricula to align to the content of an assessment, however, is weak pedagogical practice that erodes

the measurement process.

Any individual with a license granted by the IDOE who violates the Code of Ethical Practices and Procedures

as established and published may face disciplinary action by MSDWT, and/or other applicable remedies available under the state and federal laws.

Test Examiners and Their Role

Statewide Tests The assessments are to be administered only by personnel who hold a license granted by the Indiana

Department of Education. The license must be an instructional, administrative, or school services license. Personnel not properly trained and certified (e.g., teacher’s aides, secretaries, or substitute teachers who do not hold one of the above mentioned licenses) may not serve as test examiners. (For state assessments,

they may serve as proctors.) In no case may unlicensed personnel be allowed to supervise the test administration without the guidance of a test examiner.

Local Assessments

Assessments that impact teachers’ Primary or Secondary Measure as part of the MSDWT Evaluation System should be administered by the classroom teacher, or a trained employee. The MSDWT administration

understands that circumstances may impact a teacher’s ability to administer the assessment on the specified day or individual student circumstances exist impacting the teacher’s ability to administer the assessment.

Teachers should:

Follow department protocol when administering, scoring, recording, and storing student assessments

Administer assessments whenever possible. Consult department chair or principal when assessments are scheduled and teacher must be absent.

Use district-wide protocols when administering assessments such as NWEA, or other commercially designed assessments.

Follow student’s IEP or ILP – if an Instructional Assistant (IA) is trained and approved to administer

local assessments, in most cases, the IA will be allowed to administer or proctor. If an IA or other non-certified staff administers the assessment, take all steps necessary to protect the

security, confidentiality, scoring, reporting, and storage of test materials per district/department expectations.

Test examiners should be thoroughly familiar with the tests to be administered and with the procedures to

be followed during testing. This includes reviewing the MSDWT Testing Security and Integrity Agreement electronic signature page through Safe Schools. The above information referenced from the Indiana Department of Education Office of Assessment.

To ensure test integrity: Give students the test only one time per administration (pre & post).

Tests should be administered to all students on the same day. Absent students should make the test up as soon as possible.

Do not review questions or answers with students at any time throughout the year. Students should not grade the assessments.

Do not send tests home with students.

Make assurances against cheating (students may not take the test in groups). Monitor students and do not alter their answers.

Teachers may not complete answer documents for students unless required by the student’s IEP. Pre-tests must show effort. Incomplete essays and multiple-choice tests with excessive blanks will not

be considered complete and will therefore count as not passing, regardless of the post-assessment

score. We suggest monitoring students during test administration, as the test cannot be given again at a later date.

Hints, helping tools, detailed instructions, etc., are not allowed. If they are an integral part of your test, they must be clearly identified in your documentation, approved by your principal and given on

both the pre and post-assessments.

It is NEVER appropriate to:

Coach students by indicating in any way (e.g., facial expressions, gestures, or the use of body language) that an answer choice is correct or incorrect, should be reconsidered, or should be checked.

Allow students to use any type of mechanical or technical devices (calculators, computers) unless the test directions allow such use, or the device is documented as a necessary and allowable testing

accommodation.

Answer students’ factual questions regarding test items or vocabulary. Read any parts of the test to students (except as indicated in the test directions, or as documented as

an acceptable IEP, Section 504 Plan, LEP Individual Learning Plan, or nonpublic school Service Plan). In no case may reading comprehension questions be read to the student.

Alter students’ answers—other than to check and erase stray marks, or to darken answer bubbles after

testing. Call students’ attention to the fact that a similar question is on the assessment.

Use current, past, or parallel items as test preparation materials—except when those items have been released specifically for test review purposes by the Indiana Department of Education or MSDWT

Administration Develop and use elaborate review materials (workbooks, worksheets, etc.).

Set aside blocks of time to teach only the content and skill proficiencies measured on the assessment.

It is a violation of test security to:

Give examinees access to test questions prior to testing. Copy, reproduce, or use in any manner any portion of any secure assessment book, for any reason.

Alter answer documents after testing—other than to check and erase stray marks, or to darken answer

bubbles. Share an actual test instrument in a public forum.

Deviate from the prescribed administration procedures specified in the Examiner’s Manual or procedures specified by MSDWT Administration in order to boost student performance.

Make answer keys available to examinees. Participate in, direct, aid, counsel, assist, encourage, or fail to report any of the acts prohibited in this

section.

Score student responses on the test locally before submitting the assessment for scoring to the test contractor, as designated by the Indiana Department of Education (Statewide Assessments).

Testing Materials Procedures & Security [State Standardized Tests] The Corporation Test Coordinator/Department Chair/Administrator must:

Inventory and track assessment materials.

Control the secure storage, distribution, administration, and collection of tests. Ensure that no tests are discussed and/or reproduced in any manner.

Follow procedures located in testing manuals and those outlined by the MSDWT Guidebook.

Display of Reference Materials The following kinds of materials MUST be covered or removed from walls or bulletin boards during testing

in all rooms or areas in which students will be assessed:

1. All posted materials such as wall charts, visual aids, posters, graphic organizers, and instructional

materials that relate specifically to the content being assessed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following items:

Multiplication tables

Tables of mathematical facts or formulas Fraction equivalents

Writing aids Punctuation charts

Spelling or vocabulary lists Phonics charts

2. All reference materials that a reasonable person might conclude offers students in that classroom or space an unfair advantage over other students.

The following materials MAY be posted:

Alphabet Chart (containing letters only)

Number Line (containing numbers only)

All guidelines regarding Article VII (Special Education) must be followed whether administering a local or statewide assessment. Consult the student’s teacher of record (TOR) if there are questions regarding the student’s IEP or ILP. In addition to acknowledging receipt and understanding of the Test Security Procedures

and Expectations Policy, teachers must meet all requirements of the Indiana Department of Education, the United States Department of Education, and any applicable state statute

regarding the assessment of students.
