VisionAll students in Colorado will become educated and

productive citizens capable of succeeding in a globally competitive workforce.

MissionThe mission of CDE is to shape, support, and safeguard a statewide education system that prepares all students for

success in a globally competitive world.

Together We Can

Successful studentsPrepare students to thrive in their education and in a globally competitive workforce. Ensure every student is on track to graduate postsecondary and workforce ready. Increase achievement for all students and close achievement gaps. Ensure students graduate ready for success in postsecondary education and the workforce. Increase national and international competitiveness for all students.

Great teachers and leadersEnsure effective educators for every student and effective leaders for every school and district. Increase and support the effectiveness of all educators. Optimize the preparation, retention, and effectiveness of new educators. Eliminate the educator equity gap.

Outstanding schools and districtsBuild the capacity of schools and districts to meet the needs of Colorado students and their families. Increase school and district performance. Turnaround the state’s lowest performing districts and schools. Foster innovation and expand access to a rich array of high quality school choices for students.

Best education system in the nationBuild the best education system in the nation. Lead the nation in policy, innovation, and positive outcomes for students. Operate with excellence, efficiency, and effectiveness to become the best SEA in the nation. Attract and retain outstanding talent to CDE.

Approaches for Selecting and Using Multiple Measures in Educator

Evaluation

Step 1: Review of the assessment requirements

Step 3: Select and weight multiple measures of student learning

Step 2: Determine student learning measures in your district

Step 4: Set student learning outcome targets and scales

Step 5: Combine the results to get a single student outcomes rating

Decision Framework

Teacher Evaluations

50% Student Academic Growth

VI. Responsibility for student academic growth

Evaluated using the following:(1) a measure of individually-attributed growth, (2) a measure of collectively-attributed growth; (3) when available, statewide summative assessment results; and (4) for subjects with statewide summative assessment results available in two consecutive grades, results from the Colorado Growth Model.

Refers to outcomes on a measure that are

attributed to an individual licensed person,

e.g. DRA2 outcomes for a 1st Grade Teacher’s

students

Refers to outcomes on a measure attributed to two or more licensed

personnel, e.g. 10th gr. Math TCAP –

All Secondary math teachers in school

Table Talk:At your table, discuss if you want more

collective or individual attribution in your evaluation system. Consider the advantages and unintended

consequences of both collective and individual. Be prepared to share your thinking.

Step 1: Collective vs. Individual Attribution

What are the pros and cons of creating groups of like teachers based on the types of measures that must be included in their body of evidence?

Based on what is expected in law, what categories of teachers are possible?

Select and weight multiple measures of student learning to be included in educator evaluations.What can we do as a district to build comparable

bodies of evidence in like groups of teachers?Let’s try it!

Measures of Student Learning Tool

Create a template using the Measures of Student Learning tool. Questi ons to consider:

What assessments must we include?How much influence will they have on the evaluation?

Create a pie chart for a category of teacher or individual teacher that shows your thinking.

Include a rationale.

Debrief/Reflection

Did the feedback help shape any of your thinking?

Any aha’s?

What might you reconsider/change if anything?

Districts, BOCES and schools may decide aft er completi ng the Assessment Inventory that a locally created assessment would likely be included as a measure in evaluati on.

Districts and BOCES can use the Assessment Review Tool to show they are taking steps to ensure that the locally created measurements they select are fair, valid, and reliable.

decisions?What resources (internal and external) do we

Evaluation

Use the Student Learning Objective Process to set outcome targets and scales based on data from the selected measures.

What is the Student Learning Objective Process? Enables educators to utilize academic standards

to establish learning outcomes for students, monitor progress and evaluate the degree to which students achieve those outcomes

In educator evaluation systems, this process serves as a: Method of measuring student growth, progress or

mastery of the standards

Student Learning Objective Process

The essential steps of the Student Learning Objective Process include: Understanding the Colorado Academic Standards in order to

select learning outcomes Collecting baseline information to inform target and scale

setti ng Assessing quality, attainment level and rigor of student learning

targets and scales Monitoring student learning (formative practice) Determining attainment of student learning targets and scales Reflecting and refining the Student Learning Objective Process

Turn and Talk:• Why is it important to start the Student Learning

Objective process with the Colorado Academic Standards?

• How does this first step support the work done in professional practice?

• What tool is in place to support you with part of this process?

Possible Student Learning Targets and Scales

Examples of Student Learning Targets and Scales:16 of my 21 students will increase their reading

proficiency by 1-2 grade levels. 9 more students will receive + at the end of the

year. The median score on my end of course

assessment last year was 73%. At the end of the course for this year, the median score will be at least 78%.

Student Learning Objective Process:

Strategies for Target Setting Possible strategies to consider when determining how

students will be captured when target setti ng: Individual – Teacher sets individual goals for students and then

determines how many students met their individual goals Whole Class – Teacher sets a goal that would be applied to all

students in a class Subgroup of Students – Teacher sets a goal for a group(s) of

students with similar baseline data levels Case Load – Teacher sets a goal for the specific students he or she

supports

Some of these strategies may work bett er with some teaching assignments. Can you think of which teaching assignments might

work best with which strategy based on your local context?

Strategies for Target Setting Possible strategies to consider when setti ng learning targets for

students: All targets are indicators of growth using a variety of data sources: Proficiency data Targets – students meeting grade level

expectations Examples: a % of students will pass the end-of-course exam; a % of

students will score a 3 or bett er on the AP exam Growth data Targets – students growing over the course of

instruction Examples: a % of students will progress one fi tness level; a % of

students will make projected growth or bett er on the MAP assessment Averaging data Targets – students’ average score on an

assessment Example: Students will answer, on average, 80% of the questions

correctly on the end-of-course exam

Possible Student Learning Targets

What are the targets in these examples?16 of my 21 students will increase their reading

proficiency by 1-2 grade levels. 9 more students will receive + at the end of the

year. The median score on my end of course

assessment last year was 73%. At the end of the course for this year, the median score will be at least 78%.

Strategies for Scale SettingTeachers set ranges (how many students are

expected to meet the set target) across 4 rating levels: above expected, expected, less than expected, and much less than expected

Teachers collaborati vely set ranges with their evaluator Ranges will vary from year to year and possibly class to

class as baseline data will vary due to student beginning points

Collaboratively setti ng ranges will allow teachers and evaluators to calibrate about expected student learning outcomes

You can use the Measures of Student Learning Tool to record the targets and scales you have established.

When Colorado Growth Model data is available the scale indicating expected student learning outcomes has been established for you.
