Teacher Evaluation and Professional Growth ProgramModule 1: MSFE TEPG Rubric

2

Module 1: MSFE TEPG Rubric• The first module provides an overview of the MSFE TEPG Rubric.

Participants will unpack the basic structure and terminology and examine the rubric standard indicators in order to reflect on professional practice and on how to engage in analysis of student data to inform professional S.M.A.R.T. goal development.

Module 2: Student Learning Objectives Module 3: Observation and Feedback Module 4: Reflecting and Adjusting Module 5: Learner Perception Module 6: Reflecting and Planning for Next Year

Five core propositions based on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards• Several standard indicators for each core proposition

Evidence for each standard indicator can be gathered in multiple ways, including• Observation and related conferences

• Teacher-led evidence collection

Four performance-level definitions

      Distinguished    Effective  Developing

IneffectiveTeacher displays poor performance levels, consistently not meeting goals and expectations. Significant evidence of poor teacher performance is available. Teacher is recognized by others (teachers, administration, students, and/or parents) for needing significant development to achieve acceptable levels of performance.

Teacher displays below average performance levels, sometimes not meeting goals and expectations or only meeting goals after established timeframes. Evidence of below average teacher performance is available.  Teacher is recognized by others (teachers, administration, students, and/or parents) for needing some development to achieve acceptable levels of performance.

Teacher displays average or above average performance levels, consistently meeting goals and expectations within established timeframes. Evidence of expected teacher performance is available. Teacher is recognized by others (teachers, administration, students, and/or parents) for fully proficient performance.

Teacher displays exemplary performance levels, consistently exceeding goals and expectations within established timeframes.A significant amount of evidence of high teacher performance is available.Teacher is recognized by others (teachers, administration, students, and/or parents) for exemplary performance.

Count off and go to the chart indicated by the facilitator Spend 3 minutes at that chart with your group Identify

• Evidence statements, statements that reflect what can be seen or heard in an observation or recorded from other data sources. The data sources for each of the standard indicators from the rubric are listed here for your reference.– 1-a—Observation conferences; teacher’s collection of evidence

– 2-a—Classroom observations; observation conferences

– 3-a—Classroom observations

– 4-a—Observation conferences; informal conversations and meetings, e.g., data team meetings

– 5-a—Teacher’s collection of evidence; evidence of professional growth goal progress; informal conversations and meetings, e.g., staff meetings

When directed by the facilitator, move to the next chart

Share some of the statements of evidence and examples of evidence that were identified for the standard indicator where your group started.

Wrap-Up/Debrief From Activity 1b

Step 1: Expectations and Goal-Setting• Teachers complete self-evaluation (Form 1) using the TEPG Rubric

(included as Handout 3).

• Teachers use those results to identify a professional practice goal on the goal-setting form (Form 2) (included as Handout 4).

Review student learning data. Set student learning objectives. Teacher and evaluator have a fall conference.

Learning Content 2: Self-Evaluation and Goal-Setting

16

The self-evaluation process should inform the goal-setting process.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals

17The S.M.A.R.T. goal concept was introduced by G. T. Doran, A. Miller, and J. Cunningham in “There’s a S.M.A.R.T. Way to Write Management’s Goals and Objectives,” Management Review 70, no. 11 (1981), 35–36. What Makes a Goal “S.M.A.R.T.”? also draws from the work of Ed Costa, Superintendent of Schools, Lenox, Massachusetts; John D’Auria, Teachers; and Mike Gilbert, Northeast Field Director, Massachusetts Association of School Committees.

the goal should be

• How can it be accomplished?

Relevant • What are the urgent needs?• Is the goal aligned with other projects?

• Is this the right time?

Time-bound • A specific date is set.• Date is realistic.

• What can I do six weeks from now?

22

Complete the self-evaluation using Form 1 (Handout 5) and the TEPG Rubric.

Draft a S.M.A.R.T. professional practice goal on Form 2, Goal-Setting (Handout 6).

Ask your partner to provide you with feedback on the quality of your goals.

Continue completing Form 2, Goal-Setting, if you finish.

Implementing Activity: Setting Goals

Discuss your goal-setting work with your grade-level, subject-area, or table team.

Check the S.M.A.R.T. goals against the tools included on Handout 6.

On Handout 6, write down• 3 next steps

• 2 things you learned today

• 1 outstanding question you have about the TEPG system

Reflecting Activity: 3-2-1

Meet with your evaluator and finalize Form 2, Goal-Setting Bring some student data to Module 2, Student Learning

Objectives, relevant to the class/course that will be the focus of your SLO. These data may include• Student assessment scores from the prior year (both for classes you taught

last year and test scores of your current students)

• Data from course preassessments

• Information on students with IEPs, 504 plans, and gifted and talented designations

• Course grades to date

Next Steps

26

Module 2 will provide details about the SLO process. Participants will engage in activities designed to increase their understanding of the SLO process and have time to begin drafting their SLO for the 2013–14 school year.

Looking Forward to Module 2
