EPSS Development Overview
Gradual System Roll-Out
Initial system release (Late August 2012): includes the most critical components needed to support the evaluation process at the beginning of the year
2012-13 school year: additional modules released to support users in completing all required evaluation tasks
2013-14 and Beyond: MLP collaborates with RIDE to enhance system functionality, incorporating user feedback into each development effort

Data Sharing
• Certain data elements required for reporting purposes: component level and summative ratings from every educator
• Summative ratings are tied to certification, and therefore need to be reported to RIDE
• RIDE will not publish any evaluation information associated with any individual. This assurance was given in Commissioner’s letter dated March 9, to all RI educators.
• However, RIDE may want to research more deeply at an aggregate level and anonymously

Data Access and Security
• System access for every EPSS user is regulated based on their role, as well as the specific school and district they are associated with.
• Educators whose assignments change will always be able to access their own evaluation data.

Scheduling Observations and Conferences•Schedule all
evaluation components such as Observations and Conferences
•The same scheduler can be used to schedule unannounced observations too!
•When a component is scheduled, the system will provide calendar files for the evaluator and the educator that can be downloaded easily into work or personal calendar applications.

Align SLO to Common Core & Other Standards• Standards Selector to
align Student Learning Objectives
• The list available will include the common core, as well as other key standard sets educators may need to reference while writing SLOs. RIDE will be working with districts to identify key standards that need to be available in the tool, which will be updated regularly as new items are identified
![Page 14: 1 Educator Performance and Support System (EPSS) Information Session April 4 th, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfef1a28abf838cba0c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

can be submitted for approval and feedback from the evaluator
• Evaluators will have the ability to prevent editing of approved SLOs, with the option to “unlock” the screens anytime additional edits are needed

Streamlined Evidence Upload
• Educators and evaluators will have the ability to upload and manage non-observable evidence to support their evaluation, as well as SLO artifacts
• The electronic upload functionality is designed to help educators and evaluators streamline the process and organize the supporting documentation. It is not a required system component.
