Evaluation System Design Principles
– NY’s Evaluation System follows these design principles:1. Annual evaluations for all 2. Clear, rigorous expectations for instructional excellence,
prioritizing student learning3. Multiple measures of performance4. Multiple ratings: 4 performance levels to describe differences
in principal effectiveness5. System should encourage regular constructive feedback and
ongoing development6. Significance: results are a major factor in employment
decisions

1. Shaping a vision of academic success for all students, based on high standards
2. Creating a climate hospitable to education in order that safety, a cooperative spirit and other foundations of fruitful interaction prevail
3. Cultivating leadership in others, so that teachers and other adults assume their part in realizing the school vision
4. Improving instruction to enable teachers to teach at their best and students to learn at their utmost
5. Managing people, data and processes to foster school improvement

Levels of Evidence

BADAfter lunch, I noticed that none of the teachers were teaching.
BETTERAfter lunch, I noticed that many of the teachers were sitting at their desks while students got settled.
BETTER YETFifteen minutes after students returned from lunch recess, I was walking down the 3rd grade corridor and noted that 6 of the 8 teachers were sitting at their desks looking at their computers while students were getting settled.
BESTThe required math block falls right after lunch. 15 minutes into that block I noted that 6 of the 8 3rd-grade teachers were sitting at their desks looking at their computers. I went into two of those six classrooms to see what students were doing. In both rooms, they were reading or working on non-math worksheets.

Mastery Learning:
• All children can learn when they focus on mastering tasks in a collaborative environment.
• Appropriate learning conditions in the classroom include:
High levels of cooperation between classmates;
Focused teacher feedback that is both frequent and diagnostic;
Variable time allowed to reach levels of attainment

Variable time allowed to reach levels of attainment
If feedback is so important, what kind of feedback should be taking
place in our classrooms?
•Discuss in pairs for 2 minutes
“The most powerful single influence enhancing achievement is feedback”
• Quality feedback is needed, not more feedback• Much of the feedback provided by the teacher
to the student is not valued and not acted on• Students with a Growth Mindset welcome
feedback and are more likely to use it to improve their performance
• Oral feedback is much more effective than written
• The most powerful feedback is provided from the student to the teacher
How could we obtain more feedback from students?
How can we ensure we act on this feedback to raise achievement?
•Discuss in pairs

To Think About ...
1. Why not insist that all SLOs meet the highest quality?
2. Who will present the analytic rubric to the faculty?
3. How will it be presented?
4. What will be the process for quality control?
5. Who will assist with revisions and resubmissions?
