3. Goals • Identify strategies for coping with undesirable outcomes • Methods for ensuring a strong finish

4. Summative Evaluation 101

5. What is Summative Evaluation? • Annual summative evaluation rating means an annual evaluation rating that is based on appraisals of educator practice and student performance, and includes all measures captured in a teaching staff member's evaluation rubric. The four summative performance categories are highly effective, effective, partially effective, and ineffective N.J.A.C 6A:10-1.2

10. Goals for the Summative Evaluation Meeting • Achieve a Summative Rating of 2.65 or better • Maintain conversation focused upon personal achievement, accomplishments, and growth • Create a PDP that is relevant and meaningful to you as a learner Practice SGO SGP Summative

11. Know Where You Stand • Prepare the following: • Predicted summative score from Calculating Summative Score worksheet • Review rubrics from your Teacher Practice Tool • Evidence of success / effective teaching * • Areas of improvement / lower ratings * • Evidence for unobserved indicators * Practice SGO SGP Summative * Getting Organized worksheet

14. Establishing Criteria • Method needs to be determined by DEAC • Averaging vs. Growth vs. Proficiency • Weighting of domains • The Superintendent must communicate criteria to faculty by October 1st annually or 10 days after the change has occurred. • Changes to rubrics • Changes to evaluation procedures • If criteria is not established, notify UniServ Practice SGO SGP Summative

15. Compiling Your Observations • The Averaging method • The Averaging method takes the individual observations and averages the scores of: • Overall Observation or, • Domains or, • All Indicators • This average then constitutes cumulative score for teacher practice Practice SGO SGP Summative

16. Compiling Your Observations • The Growth method • All teachers are rated in a way that assumes growth • In this method, the final observation may serve as the cumulative score for teacher practice • A word of caution, this method lends itself to arbitrary evaluation practices Practice SGO SGP Summative

17. Compiling Your Observations • The Proficiency method • This method finds how proficient the teacher is. • All observations are reviewed and the highest score for each indicator is taken and compiled for the cumulative teacher practice score. Practice SGO SGP Summative

18. Compiling Your Observations • The Preponderance of Evidence • Determine your strengths and weaknesses • Use the “Getting Organized sheet from the “Educators in the Lead” packet which is located in the “Personal Document” section of the binder • Domain 4 – Brag sheet given to all staff (4 = leadership in some area) • Domain 1 – you show evidence Practice SGO SGP Summative

19. Compiling Your Observations

20. Compiling Your Observations • Domain 2 and 3 – from the observations ( looking for growth – you can provide examples and evidence) – Use Summary Growth Worksheet • Look at your responses (rebuttals) from prior observations. • State your argument again for specific scores • Show how you have taken observers suggestions in order to improve your instruction Practice SGO SGP Summative

23. SGP TECHNICAL RULES • According to regulation, you can only receive a median SGP score if the following is true: • You have at least 20 student scores on your roster; • If you do not have 20 students in year 1, you may receive an SGP score if you accrue 20 student scores over a period of up to 3 years. • Students are enrolled in class at least 70 percent of the time before the test; and • You have worked for at least 60 percent of the time before the test. • It is CRITICAL that teachers receiving an SGP review the roster that is being submitted to the NJDOE for purposes of SGP to ensure that all students being included do indeed meet the criteria for inclusion Practice SGO SGP Summative

24. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME? • Your students’ test scores are listed in order • The middle number represents the median score of the class (mSGP) • Your rating score would be 55 • The mSGP effectiveness scale has not been determined yet Median Score Typical Growth 50%ile 65%ile 35%ile Practice SGO SGP Summative

29. Outcomes of a Summative Evaluation

30. Preparing for Your PDP • Review your PDP from the prior year • Using Getting Organized and PDP Planning Strategies, begin planning for a PDP that addresses an area of your observations AND is personally meaningful. Practice SGO SGP Summative

31. The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) When the Summative Evaluation is less than positive Practice SGO SGP Summative

32. What is a CAP? • A CAP: • Addresses areas in need of improvement identified by the evaluation rubric • Includes specific and demonstrable goals • Identifies responsibilities of the evaluated employee and the district • Reasonable timelines for meeting goals • Must be instituted in instances where a summative rating is less than 2.65 • May result in tenure charges for inefficiency NJAC 6A:10-2.5 Practice SGO SGP Summative

33. Who is Responsible for the CAP? • Chief School Administrator or Direct Supervisor • Teacher being placed on CAP • ScIP NJAC 6A:10-2.5 Practice SGO SGP Summative

34. BRINGING TENURE CHARGES (for inefficiency under the new statute) Practice SGO SGP Summative NOTE: This chart only relates to filing tenure charges for inefficiency under the new statute, not for other cause.

35. Representation • CAPs – DO NOT GO IT ALONE!! • Contact the Association President to ensure support • The Association President has a fiduciary responsibility to represent members and has the right to ask Administration for a list of people on CAPs • Review protocols • Ensure timelines and supports are met • Document discrepancies and intervene as needed • Involve Uniserv Practice SGO SGP Summative

36. Preparing for a Negative Summative Evaluation

37. CRITICAL CONVERSATIONSBasic steps • Identify and clarify • Establish a mutual purpose • Establish respect • Actively listen • STATE your course • Share your facts: least controversial & most persuasive first • Tell your story • Ask for others facts and stories • Talk about what is fact and what is assumption • Encourage differing views Practice SGO SGP Summative
