Educator Evaluation Pilot
Thursday, May 26Webinar 3:30 pm
Opportunities Provided by Pilot Participation
• Be “early adopter” for the revised system• Engage in professional development
related to the WV Professional Standards• Work as part of a collaborative team to
improve educator effectiveness• Provide input to policy makers for
shaping the evaluation process
Essential Questions• Who are the pilot schools?• What is the conceptual framework of
the revised system? • What are the expectations for the pilot
schools?• What are the policy parameters?• What is the timeline for training and
what financial support is available?• What are the next steps?• What questions remain?
Who are the pilot schools?
• School Improvement Grant 1003(g)– 2010 SIG 1 schools – 14 schools– 2011 SIG 2 schools – 6 schools
• Non-SIG schools – 5 schools– high school, middle school, elementary– broaden the demographic representation
of pilot schools
What is the conceptual framework
of the revised educator evaluation system?
Conceptual Framework
• WV Professional Teaching Standards, Leadership Standards, Counselor Standards
• Professional evaluation• Structured feedback• Encouragement and acknowledgement
of continuous professional growth
Improvements• Teacher Evaluation – decreases indicators from 55 to 16– decreases # of classroom observations
required for each evaluation
• Principal/Counselor Evaluation– 12 indicators, performance based
• Teacher/Principal/Counselor– Performance level descriptions– Performance rubrics for each element
New Elements
• Evidence based
– Educator performance
– Student performance
Educator Performance Evidence
• Does not mean creating a portfolio
• Does mean being able to showcase the work of the teacher
• Broad categories of evidence for each professional standard
Student Performance Evidence – Classroom
• Opportunity to demonstrate student learning using:– A goal-driven process, established by the
teacher or a collaborative team of teachers
– Existing/created assessments– Multiple measures to identify student
learning
Student Performance Evidence – School
• Opportunity to demonstrate student learning using school-wide measures of growth, based on WESTEST 2 in the areas of:
• Math• Reading/Language Arts
• School level growth report will be generated by WVDE
• SIG schools required to include school evidence
• Non-SIG schools recommended, but optional

Evaluation Progressions
• Initial: 1st - 3rd year teachers
• Intermediate: 4th & 5th year

Initial Progression
• Initial: 1st- 3rd – Four observations and evidence
collections– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation
Intermediate Progression
• Intermediate: 4th & 5th year– Two observations and evidence
collections– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation
Advanced Progression
• Advanced: 6th year or greater– One self-evaluation– Two student learning goals– One final evaluation
What are the expectations for the pilot schools?
Expectations for the Pilot Schools
• Embrace the Opportunities:• Be “early adopter”• Engage in professional development• Work as part of a collaborative team• Provide input to policy makers
• Participate in the research study
Learning from the Pilot
• What is your role?– Teachers, mentors, and principals will need to be
active participants and provide feedback to WVDE
• What information will need to be collected about the evaluation process?– Process – Outcomes
• What about confidentiality?– All data will be aggregated to the school level– All data collection will be confidential
Learning from the Pilot
• What will be the immediate outputs of the pilot study?– Findings will be published in the form of various
reports, and made available to stakeholders.– Recommendations will be made for any
revisions prior to statewide rollout.
• What will be the long term impact of the pilot study?– A better evaluation system, one that is more
rigorous, equitable, and transparent.
What are the policy parameters associated with participation
in the pilot?
Policy Authority
• Waiver Process– State Superintendent will submit waiver to
the WVBE– Pilot-wide waiver for identified schools– State Board’s action will provide authority
to implement the pilot as evaluation of record
• Improvement Plan Exceptions– Waiver will specify all exceptions
What is the timelinefor training?
What financial support is available?
