Multiple Measures of Teacher Effectiveness – Observation/Evidence and the Danielson Framework

• Classroom observations by Principal/supervisor, including evidence that demonstrates behaviors associated with improving student achievement:– Planning and preparation, including selecting standards-based

lesson goals and designing effective instruction and assessment;

– Classroom environment, including establishing a culture for learning and appropriate classroom management techniques that maximize instructional time;

– Instruction, including the use of research-based strategies which engage students in meaningful learning and utilize assessment results to make decisions abut student needs; and

– Professional responsibilities, including using systems for managing student data and communicating with student families

3a: Communicating with students

Expectations for learning, directions and procedures, and explanations of content are unclear or confusing to students. Teacher’s use of language contains errors or is inappropriate to students’ cultures or levels of development

Expectations for learning, directions and procedures, and explanations of content are clarified after initial confusion; teacher’s use of language is correct but may not be completely appropriate to students’ cultures or levels of development.

Expectations for learning, directions and procedures, and explanations of content are clear to students. Communications are appropriate to students’ cultures and levels of development.

Expectations for learning, directions and procedures, and explanations of content are clear to students. Teacher’s oral and written communication is clear and expressive, appropriate to students’ cultures and levels of development, and anticipates possible student misconceptions.

3b: Using questioning and discussion techniques

Teacher’s questions are low-level or inappropriate, eliciting limited student participation, and recitation rather than discussion.

Some of the teacher’s questions elicit a thoughtful response, but most are low-level, posed in rapid succession. Teacher’s attempts to engage all students in the discussions are only partially successful.

Most of the teacher’s questions elicit a thoughtful response, and the teacher allows sufficient time for students to answer. The students are engaged and participate in the discussion, with the teacher stepping aside when appropriate.

Questions reflect high expectations and are culturally and developmentally appropriate. Students formulate many of the high-level questions and ensure that all voices are heard.

What are some ways to develop evidence of student achievement in non-tested

grades and subjects?

Page 15: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Student Learning Objectives

Other Assessments

Measures of Collective Performance

Three Approaches to the Challenge

Page 16: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Measures of Collective Performance

School-wide growth measures (like the PA Report Card)

Standardized assessments used to measure the performance of groups of

teachers (like program evaluation)

Page 17: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Other Assessments

Standardized end of course assessments, formative-benchmark-unit assessments

Teacher-developed assessments of student learning or growth

Page 18: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Student Learning ObjectivesContent- and grade/course-specific measurable

learning objectives that can be used to document student learning over a defined

period of time

Can be written to measure growth or mastery

What are other states/schools using for non-tested grades and subjects?

Page 20: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

What is PA planning to do?Student Learning Objectives with

Model Assessments

Page 21: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Why this approach?The “other assessment” approach causes

narrowing of curriculum and is not financially sustainable.

The “measures of collective performance” are already included in the formula (required by Race to the Top) and do not offer NTGS teachers an opportunity to be evaluated on what they actually teach.

SLOs that don’t describe the assessment protocol tend to lack a true learning focus.

Page 22: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

SLO Concepts• Student achievement can be measured in ways

that reflect authentic learning of content standards.

• Educator effectiveness can be measured through use of student achievement measures.

What knowledge and skills might be

needed to develop an SLO?

Page 25: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

1. Know and understand the Standards

• PA Standards• Common Core Standards• Professional/Technical Standards

2. Assessment Tasks • Authentic to the grade or course• Aligned to Standards

3. Assessment Scoring• Can describe levels of student achievement toward

standards based learning objectives

Page 26: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

THE PA SLO TEMPLATE & PROCESSWhat it is supposed to be: What it is not supposed to be:

• More paperwork for teachers that has no meaning or purpose

• More testing for students

• A weak substitute for PVAAS or other standardized testing data

• More paperwork for teachers that has no meaning or purpose

• More testing for students

• A weak substitute for PVAAS or other standardized testing data

• A format to inform strong instructional practice and strong student achievement

• A way to measure teacher effectiveness based on student achievement

• An opportunity for teachers to define, describe and present data on student achievement in the content area that they teach

Page 27: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

PA Educator Challenge

To develop and implement an appropriatelyrigorous measure of teacher effectiveness based

on student achievement in your content areathrough the use of the PA SLO Template.

Page 28: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

The Approach

• Provide a method for teachers to write SLOs.• Provide a method for teachers to design

assessments appropriate to the SLO.• Provide piloted and peer-reviewed models on the

PDE SAS website.• Provide professional development appropriate to

SLO development.The Methodology: AN SLO TEMPLATE

Page 29: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE TEMPLATE

A format to provide a measure of teacher effectiveness based on student achievement of

content standards, as applicable to the “Elective Data” portion of the Teacher

Failing: few students achieve content mastery or growth

Needs Improvement: less than a significant number of students achieve content mastery or growth

Proficient: A significant number of students achieve content mastery or growth

Distinguished: An exceptional number of students achieve content mastery or growth

Page 33: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Grade 8 General MusicLess than 60% of students will score 42-50 on a minimum of 2 assessments, with scores lower than 37 on the other two assessments.

60%-70% of students will score 42-50 on a minimum of 2 assessments, with scores lower than 37 on the other two assessments.

70%-84% of students will score 42-50 on a minimum on 2 out of the four assessments, and score no lower than 37 on the other two assessments.

85% of students will score 42-50 on a minimum of 3 out of the four assessments, and score no lower than 37 on a fourth assessment.

HS Instrumental MusicMastery: Less than 50% of students achieve proficient or advanced levels in 5 out of 6 components on the second assessment. Growth: Less than 50% of students achieve improved scores in at least 2 out of 6 components, with no decrease in scores in the other components.

Page 34: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Student Learning Objective

Guiding Questions: Why is this objective important and meaningful to your

students?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Students will utilize musical notation

as both a performer and composer. HS Instrumental Music: Students develop independent

performance skills appropriate to positive musical contribution in an instrumental performing ensemble.

3. SLO (Student Learning Objective)Learning objectives that can be validly measured to document student learning over

a defined period of time.

Page 35: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

SLO Rationale

Guiding Questions: How is your student learning objective measurable and clearly

understood by students in this grade/course? Based upon this objective, how will students independently

demonstrate their learning?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Students will independently demonstrate

their learning by performing individually on the piano and guitar and by creating an individual musical composition based on the structural designs found in the music of the classic period (1750-1825).

HS Instrumental Music: The quality and musicality of an instrumental ensemble is dependent on each individual as a contributor to the collective whole. Individual assessments inform each student of his/her progress and contribution as an independent musician.

3. SLO (Student Learning Objective)Learning objectives that can be validly measured to document student learning over a

defined period of time.

Curriculum Framework Connection What are the big ideas, essential questions, concepts and competencies

(as identified by PA’s Curriculum Framework) to be measured? www.pdesas.org

Essential Questions

Concepts

Competencies

Big Ideas

Professional/Industry Standards

Common Core Standards

PA Standards

Statements from this section should be cut and pasted from:

Page 37: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Student Preparedness/Baseline Data

Guiding Questions: What, if any, are the course or grade prerequisites? What do you know about the students in this class at the

beginning of the learning process? What may typical and not-so-typical student progress look like on

the way to achieving the learning objective?Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: There are no specific prerequisites. They

will have had some instruction in music history, composition, guitar, and keyboard in grades six and seven. Large lapses of time between instruction periods (up to a year) will cause a need for extensive review of concepts and competencies previously experienced. Most students will be successful at manipulating the instruments and writing music notation. Some students will struggle with conceptualizing ideas regarding music composition. A pretest of retained knowledge of music notation is administered on the first day of the course to inform instruction.

4. Data and Targets Used to Establish the SLO

Page 38: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

4. Data and Targets Used to Establish the SLO

Targets

Guiding Questions: What is the expected outcome or goal by the end of the designated

instructional period (i.e., year, semester, course length, etc.)? Using student baseline data, are differentiated targets/goals needed? If yes,

what are those targets/goals? Are the targets ambitious yet realistic, and how will you monitor progress

along the way?

Sample Statements: HS Instrumental Music: Each student will demonstrate an ability to perform

his/her instrumental part independently in an unaccompanied setting, exhibiting mastery and/or growth in such components as tone quality, intonation, rhythm, musicality, and technique appropriate to the student’s specific instrument.

Page 39: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Name of the Assessment/Performance Task

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Classical Time Period AssessmentComposition AssessmentKeyboard Performance AssessmentGuitar Performance Assessment HS Instrumental Music: HS Instrumental Music-Individual Student Performance

Page 40: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

5. Assessment/Performance Task

Description of the Assessment/Performance Task

Guiding Questions: Who is the developer of the assessments/performance task used (e.g.,

teacher-made, district-developed, commercial, etc.)? What is a description of the assessment/performance task that will be used

to measure the student learning objective (SLO)? Are there any products or artifacts that will be gathered as part of the data

collection process?Sample Statements:HS Instrumental Music: Individual Performance Assessments (IPA): The IPA will occur two times during the year, near the mid-point of the first and fourth marking periods. Students will usually submit the assessment electronically, a variety of submission formats will be available.. Material for this assessment will be drawn from both scales and ensemble music currently being rehearsed in class. Specific technical exercises taught and rehearsed in class may be included as well.

6. Administration of the Assessment/Performance Task

Frequency of Assessment/Performance Task Administration

Guiding Questions: How often and when is this assessment/performance task

administered? If measuring growth, are multiple assessment windows in place?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Each of the four project assessments is

administered once throughout the course. Formative assessments are inherent in the instructional design. A pretest is administered on the first day of class that assesses prior knowledge applicable to the composition and keyboard assessments.

HS Instrumental Music: Students will be assessed at the midpoint of the first and fourth quarters.

Page 43: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

6. Administration of the Assessment/Performance Task

Resources Required

Guiding Questions: What unique or specific equipment, technologies, or resources are

needed to complete this assessment/performance task?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Keyboards, guitars, audio-playback

equipment. HS Instrumental Music: Video/audio recording technology and/or

methodologies for students to create online submissions that will require computers and appropriate software.

Page 44: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

All Classes: IEP and 504 accommodations will be implemented.

6. Administration of the Assessment/Performance Task

Adaptations for Diverse Learners and/or Students with Disabilities

Guiding Questions: What assessment/performance task adaptations are needed to

assist diverse learners and/or students with disabilities?

Sample Statements:Grade 8 General Music: Students struggling with keyboard or guitar playing skills can perform simple chord structures. Students can use a computer notation program to create the composition.HS Instrumental Music: IEP adaptations are made (additional time allotted, alternative print formats, teacher-directed instruction to help students feel more comfortable about being assessed individually, etc.)

Page 45: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

Most Classes: The assessments can be administered by an equivalent peer.

Some Classes: Student use of equipment needed to complete the authentic assessment could be monitored by an equivalent peer, but should probably be monitored by the class instructor (i.e. athletic, career tech, chemistry, biology equipment).

6. Administration of the Assessment/Performance Task

Personnel

Guiding Questions: Can this assessment/performance task be administered by an

equivalent peer (educator in a similar content area)? If not, please explain.

Does a district policy exist with regard to assessment/performance task administration?

Sample Statements:An equivalent peer can administer this assessment. Many students will self-administer this assessment.

Page 46: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

7. Evidence of Student Achievement

Rubrics/ Scoring Scales

Guiding Questions: How will individual student growth or mastery be determined (defined

and scored) using this assessment/performance task? Include the specific rubric/scoring scale that will be used.

Does the rubric and/or scoring scale correlate with the assessment/performance task?

Sample Statements: HS Instrumental Music: See next slide………….OR LOOK AT SCOTT SHEEHAN’S PMEA WEBINAR PRESENTATION

Page 47: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

7. Evidence of Student AchievementCategory Advanced Proficient Basic Below Basic

10-9 8-7 6-5 4-0Tone Quality Tone quality is controlled,

full, rich, and characteristic in all registers

Tone quality is characteristic in the normal playing range of the instrument, but distorts in a few passages or extreme registers (occasional lapses of control), these lapses rarely hinder the performance.

Tone quality exhibits some flaws in production in the normal range of the instrument, extreme registers are usually uncontrolled, tone quality occasionally detracts from performance.

Tone quality has significant flaws in basic production in all registers of the instrument and consistently detracts from the performance.

Intonation Intonation is accurate in all ranges and registers

Intonation is mostly accurate; the few problem pitches are adjusted to an acceptable standard during the performance.

Intonation is somewhat accurate but consistently includes out-of-tune notes; these inaccuracies occasionally detract from the performance.

Intonation is consistently inaccurate and hinders the quality of performance.

Rhythmic Accuracy

Rhythms are accurate and precise throughout the performance.

Rhythms are nearly accurate; occasionally, rhythms lack precise interpretation.

Most rhythm patterns are accurate, but errors in precision are present and occasionally detract from the performance.

Many rhythms performed incorrectly or inconsistently, major errors are present and detract from the performance.

Pitch Accuracy (melodic accuracy)

Pitches are consistently correct.

Occasional incorrect pitches are played, but do not detract from the performance

Most pitches are correct, but errors are present and occasionally detract from the performance.

Many pitches are performed incorrectly; this inaccuracy consistently seriously hinders the performance.

Page 48: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

7. Evidence of Student Achievement

Data Collection

Guiding Questions: In what format will data be collected (e.g., database, graphed,

portfolio, etc.) Is a pre-post test being used? (If so, please describe.) How frequently will data be collected?

Scores from the rubric will be collected on a database. Data will be collected at the mid-point of the first and fourth marking periods.

Page 49: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

7. Evidence of Student Achievement

Scoring Student Progress/Preparation

Guiding Questions: How was baseline data collected? (If baseline data was not

collected, please explain.) Can baseline data be compared with the results of this

assessment/performance task?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Baseline data is collected through a pretest

of retained knowledge; there is no assessment of authentic skills prior to instruction.

HS Instrumental Music: Scoring from the first marking period assessment will be used as baseline data for describing growth. Scoring from the fourth marking period assessment will be used to describe growth and/or mastery.

Page 50: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

7. Evidence of Student Achievement

Data Presentation

Guiding Questions: What evidence will be presented to principal/evaluator to support

the teacher effectiveness measure? How will data be presented to the principal/evaluator (e.g.,

database, graphed, portfolio, individual student artifacts, etc.)?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Evidence will be presented through

aggregated scores from the database. HS Instrumental Music: An ipad database program created by the

teacher will be used to present scoring information.

Page 51: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

All Grades and Courses: The assessment can be scored by an equivalent peer.

All Grades and Courses: The assessment is a commercially produced assessment that has a history of validity and reliability.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

Guiding Questions: How can the assessment/performance task results be

interpreted in the same way across equivalent peers? Is there a reliable and valid scoring and interpretive process (i.e.,

state developed, district-based, commercial, standardized, etc.) that is associated with the assessment/performance task? If so, please describe.

Sample Statements: An equivalent peer can use the rubrics to assess the projects.

7. Evidence of Student Achievement

Page 52: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

8. Strategies/Actions to Achieve the SLO

Assessment for Learning

Guiding Questions: What formative assessment information lets you know if your

instructional practices will lead to successful completion of the SLO?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Rubric will be provided to the students as a

part of progress monitoring throughout the instructional period. HS Instrumental Music: Interim formative assessments during group

lessons will be used to focus instruction toward successful completion of the SLO.

Page 53: Measuring Educator Effectiveness  for Music Teachers

8. Strategies/Actions to Achieve the SLO

Alignment with the Danielson Framework for Teaching

Guiding Questions: Based upon reflection, what instructional practices would you like to

change or strengthen? What professional learning and/or other type of support will help you

to achieve this SLO?

Sample Statements: Grade 8 General Music: Based on the formative assessment

information provided by student composition and performance tasks, students will be provided with supplemental materials to either address music reading difficulties or enhance current abilities to go beyond the targets. (Danielson 3E)

HS Instrumental Music: Based on weekly formative performance assessments, student seating within the band will be uniquely rearranged periodically to provide students the opportunity to develop higher levels of performance independence. (Danielson 2 E)
