The majority of our students have great teachers and administrators

who want to:

• Maximize student learning for every child• Be the very best teachers/administrators

that they can be

Which of these children deserves to have a great teacher

and administrator?

They ALL Do!

Majority is not good enough!

Which teacher a student gets within a school matters more than which school the student happens to attend.

Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004, (p. 247)

If a student had a good teacher as opposed to an average teacher for 4 to 5 years in a row, the increased learning would be sufficient to close entirely the average gap between a typical low income student and one who is not on free and reduced lunch.

Dallas Research: Cumulative Effect

Students started at the same level of math achievement. Three years later, those students placed with highly effective teachers vs. those placed with ineffective teachers experienced a 50% greater achievement level. (Similar results occurred in their study on Reading Achievement.)

Eliminating the worst 6% to 10% of teachers in terms of effectiveness would bring student achievement up by ½ standard deviation. (Note: Ranking of countries was based on average mathematics score on the PISA tests in 2003 - U.S. students perform significantly below the OECD average. The variance between the U.S. and the top performing country is 2/3 standard deviation.)

Hanushek, 2008

Spillover EffectHighly effective teacher – achievement goes up in that teacher’s classroom – that would be expected. Also, however, the achievement of surrounding teachers’ classes will go up when they work with this highly effective teacher. Student achievement in these other teachers’ classes goes up 10-20%. (PLC’s)

Ineffective teachers (bottom 5%) only result in 1/2 year of student growth per academic year.

Highly effective teachers (top 5%) result in 1 & 1/2 year of student growth per academic year.

Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll - 2011

What Americans said about the public schoolsQUALITY TEACHING

We’ll take larger classes with more effective teachers over smaller classes with less effective teachers and access to higher-quality instruction over the Internet over learning in a classroom with a less effective teacher. The message: Quality/Effectiveness of a teacher does count.

Research on effective vs. ineffective teachers and leaders clearly indicated that there is a great cost to student learning as a result of having ineffective teachers and leaders in our schools.

RealityWe all know that we have ineffective teachers and administrators that do

exist and have existed in our schools for many years

So …If we know that a teacher or

administrator is ineffective, why haven’t we done something about

it?

• Lack of clearly defined, research-based standards?

• Substandard teacher preparation programs?

• Too hard to remove ineffective teachers?

• Union protection of the “bad apples”?

• Lack of quality supervision and evaluation systems?

• Lack of quality professional development?

• Lack of supervisor “will” or

knowledge of due process?• Lack of time?• Seniority, First In Last Out?• Lack of money?• FEAR? Don’t ask…don’t tell?• Burn out?• Politics?• Denial?• Lack of data?• Other?

But again,these barriers

and the factthat ineffective

Teachers exist is nothingNew …

So why the urgency to address educator

effectivenessNow?

Elementary & Secondary Education Act (1965)(Pres. Johnson’s War on Poverty)

• Funds primary and secondary education

• Equal access to education

• Establishes high standards and accountability

• Decrease the achievement gap by providing each child with fair and equal opportunities to achieve an exceptional

education

Nation at Risk (1983)(Pres. Reagan’s Natl. Comm./Excellence in Education)

• The Imperative for Educational Reform

• American schools are failing to meet the nationalneed for competitive workforce

• Called for the commission to assess the “quality of teaching and learning”

No Child Left Behind (2001)(Pres. George W. Bush)

• Standards-based education reform

• Assessments in basic skills – in order to receiveFederal school funding

• State-wide standardized testing

• Adequate Yearly Progress/100% by 2014

Reauthorization of ESEA/NCLB – 2007

???

President Obama is offering states flexibility from NCLB in exchange for comprehensive plans to raise standards; to create fair, flexible and focused accountability systems; and to improve systems for teacher and principal evaluation and support. This flexibility will not give states a pass on accountability. It will demand real reform.

President Obama’s Blueprint For Reform (2010)

Section 9401 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act) allows the Secretary to waive certain statutory or regulatory requirements of the ESEA.

NCLB Waiver

SENATE BILL 461(PASSED ON 3/15/2012)

This bill requires DPI to develop an educator effectiveness evaluation system and to develop, by rule, an equivalency process aligned with the state system (equivalency process) to assist school districts in the evaluation of the performance of teachers and principals in the district.

Each school district must begin evaluating teachers and principals using either the state system or the equivalency process in the 2014-15 school year.

SENATE BILL 461

Under the state system, 50 percent of the total evaluation score assigned to a teacher or principal must be based on measures of student performance, and 50 percent of the total evaluation score must be based upon the extent to which the teacher's or principal's practice …..

Pay for Performance

Although, the system will have the capability to provide the data

necessary to develop the rationale a district will need to make retention

and dismissal decisions and, at times, we may need the data to

justify the dismissal of a teacher or administrator

Our primary means, however, for improving student achievement will

occur as the result of our creating an Effectiveness/Evaluation System that

will be:• Fully customizable to district needs and

state requirements• Easily and efficiently implemented That will result in improved effectiveness for

EVERY teacher, specialist, and administrator and

The CESA 6 Effectiveness Systemwill provide an equivalency model that:
