HEDI Criteria: Post “agreement”

HEDI Criteria: Previous to “agreement”

5 Emma Klimek 2012

Assessments changesIt is no longer required to use a 3rd party

assessment for 6-8 social studies and science

“Individual teacher developed” assessments are not permitted

All assessments, including State assessments, are permitted for the “2nd 20%” or local assessment portion of the APPR, but they must be used differently (a different metric)

6 Emma Klimek 2012

OtherIt is not permissible to use “school

wide/group or department wide” for 6-8 science or social studies or any course in the high school with a Regents.

Classroom observations must be at least 31 out of 60 points; previously it was 40 out of 60 points

7 Emma Klimek 2012

Other information

Emma Klimek 20128

For the 2nd 20 percent group/team/school wide measures may use third party assessments or a district/BOCES/regional assessment unlike the 1st 20%

The growth percentile that the state provides may be combined across grades and subjects for the teacher and principal.

Student population for SLOs are set on BEDS day

Emma Klimek 20129

A third party assessment that is not on the SED approved list may not be used for the purpose of APPR even if a District is willing to certify to its comparability and rigor

Attendance

Emma Klimek 201210

You may NOT use attendance as a factor in your SLO. All enrolled students must be included in the calculation.

All students in the course sections subject to an SLO must be included in the SLO.

Students may not be excluded from a course they are enrolled in based on poor attendance (this applies to both State Growth and locally-selected measures).

Measurement Options

Measurement Options for AssessmentsRaw Score

Assumes that the pre test and the post test have a relatively equal distribution of item difficulty

Easy to calculateScale Score/Percentiles/Stanines

Not an equal interval unitDoes not lend itself to arithmetic operations Can use as a target point

PercentagesAssumes that the pre and post assessments are

comparable

15 Emma Klimek 2012

Measurement options for AssessmentCut points/benchmarks/levels of proficiency

Should be research basedMay need to identify these points

Locate the practice sheet “Measurement 1 Problem”

At your tables discuss where you might begin to solve this problem

The group will solve this problem together

Activity: Scaling a MetricGrades 1 and 2 use Percentile Metric for

measuring math (use handout “Grade 1 scores”)

Determine the targetsDetermine the HEDI criteria for grade 2Determine the 0-20 points for grade 2Use HEDI scoring sheet

Where do I start?

Emma Klimek 201231

Planning chartDetermine the groups you have (teacher

assignment groups)Then complete district assessment inventory chart

so that you can determine which assessments you need and/or purchase or develop

Determine the metrics to be usedThen analyze HISTORIC data so that rigorous but

achievable targets are setDetermine HEDIDetermine 0-20Consider what to propose for the “second 20%”

TLS Evidence Rubric Element 2

33Emma Klimek 2012

Evidence is a Factual Reporting of EventsElement 2

• It includes teacher and student actions and/or behaviorsTeacher presented the content from the front of room.

• It includes statements made and questions posed by the teacher and the students “Bring your white boards, markers and erasers to the carpet

and sit on your square.”

• It includes artifacts prepared by the teacher, students, or others. Task cards, journals, lesson plans, etc.]

• It includes quantifiable information about time, student participation, resource use, etc.9:14 – 9:29- Warm-up. 8 of 22 Ss finished at 9:20, sat still

until 9:29

• It includes an observed aspect of the environmentDesks were arranged in groups of four

34Emma Klimek 2012

Rubric Priorities: Part IElement 4

• All rubrics have priorities – the foundational concepts upon which the criteria are built

• Understanding the priorities of the approved rubric to evaluate teacher practice is essential to the observation process.

• Review the Priorities of NYSED Approved Rubrics document

• What are the priorities of the rubric chosen by your district?
