…out of 178 school districts and 19 BOCES160 districts/12 BOCES are using the State Model
System for teachers and principals10 districts are using a hybrid system that includes the
State Model for evaluating teachers OR principals and a local system for the other group
7 districts have developed their own evaluation systems for teachers and principals

Training Objectives
By the end of this webinar:You will understand the State Model Evaluation
System, which includes: Teacher and Principal Quality Standards the evaluation process components of the rubric, and how to score the rubric

Agenda
Purposes of S.B. 10-191
A system to evaluate the effectiveness of licensed personnel and continually improve the quality of education and student outcomes.
Provide meaningful feedback for professional growth and continuous improvement.
Provide a basis for making decisions in the areas of hiring, compensation, promotion, assignment, professional development, earning and retaining non-probationary status, dismissal, and nonrenewal of contract.
Critical Effects of S.B. 10-191
Requires statewide minimum standards for what it means to be an _________ teacher or principal

Priorities of Implementation
Human judgment Data should inform decisions, but human judgment will always be
a part of the process Processes and techniques are recommended to improve individual
judgment and minimize errors and bias
Embodiment of continuous improvement by monitoring Data from pilot and rollout intended to capture what works and
what doesn’t Changes in assessment practices and tools Emerging research and best practices
Providing credible and meaningful feedback with: Actionable information Opportunities for improvement Idea that this is a process and not an event
Involves all stakeholders in a collaborative process Families, teachers, related service providers, administration,
school board, etc. Educators involved throughout development process
Priorities of Implementation
Takes place within a larger, aligned and supportive systemAll components of the system must focus on increasing
the number of educators and students who are successful
Take a poll!Which priority do you think is the most important? Be
prepared to share your thinking.
Priorities of Implementation
Definition of Teacher Effectiveness
Eff ecti ve Teachers in the state of Colorado have the knowledge, ski l ls , and commitments needed
to provide excel lent and equitable learning opportuniti es and growth for a l l students. They str ive to support growth and development, c lose achievement gaps and to prepare diverse student populati ons for postsecondary and workforce success. Eff ecti ve Teachers faci l i tate mastery of content and ski l l development, and employ and
adjust evidence-based strategies and approaches for students who are not achieving mastery and students who need accelerati on. They also develop in students the ski l ls , interests and abi l iti es necessary to be l i felong learners, as wel l as for democrati c and civ ic parti cipati on. Eff ecti ve Teachers communicate high expectati ons to students and their fami l ies and uti l ize diverse strategies to engage them in a mutual ly supporti ve teaching and learning environment. Because eff ecti ve Teachers understand that the work of ensuring meaningful learning opportuniti es for a l l students cannot happen in isolati on, they engage in col laborati on, conti nuous refl ecti on, on-going learning and leadership within the profession.

Definition of Principal Effectiveness
Eff ecti ve Principals in the state of Colorado are responsible for the collecti ve success of their schools, including the learning, growth
and achievement of both students and staff . As schools’ primary instructi onal leaders, eff ecti ve Principals enable criti cal discourse and data-driven refl ecti on about curriculum, assessment, instructi on, and student progress, and create structures to facil itate improvement. Eff ecti ve Principals are adept at creati ng systems that maximize the uti lizati on of resources and human capital, foster collaborati on, and facil itate constructi ve change. By creati ng a common vision and arti culati ng shared values, eff ecti ve Principals lead and manage their schools in a manner that supports schools’ abil ity to promote equity and to conti nually improve their positi ve impact on students and families.

Rubric Structure and Rating Level Focus
The focus of the Basic rating is the educator whose
performance does not meet state quality standards. The
educator rated as Basic is typically performing at a foundational level. Every
educator is expected to perform Basic professional practices in
their day-to-day work.
The focus of Partially Proficient and Proficient levels is what educators do on
a day-to-day basis to achieve state performance standards and assure that
students are achieving at expected levels.
The focus of Accomplished and Exemplary ratings shifts to the outcomes of the
educator’s practices, including expectations for staff, students, parents and community
members, as a result of practices exhibited under rating levels 2 and 3.

Components of the Rubric
State Model Rubric Basics
Cumulative in contentEach level of the rubric represents an increase
in the quality, intensity, consistency, breadth, depth, and complexity of practice
Effectiveness marked by the addition of practices that improve the overall performance of the educator and drives to student outcomes
Standards basedOutlines the practices that you must meet to be at
standard
What’s changed in the rubric? The current rubrics have been shortened in response to feedback
from nearly all participants that it felt overwhelming and intimidating due to its size.
The language of the professional practices has been made more specific in order to be clearer and more concise in setti ng performance expectations.
Redundancies have been eliminated. Most non-observable professional practices (in the teacher rubric)
have been eliminated from Standards 1, 2, and 3 because many of the pilot site participants indicated they believed them to be biased or unfair.
The lowest category on the rubric has been changed to “Basic.”
Revised Teacher Rubric
Scoring the Rubric
Determining the teacher’s professional practices rating is a three-step process that involves rating the individual elements and standards and using those to determine the overall rating on professional practices.

(Standard weight [ex. 20% = .20]) X 540 X (Total Points Earned for the Standard) = Weighted Standard points
