4 Brief History of Local East Baton Rouge Parish School System Personnel Evaluation 0-3 years in position evaluated yearly and 4+ every third year (one formal observation, PGP, and Self-evaluation) Since , all EBR is evaluated every year, LaTAAP is over, & Act 54 passed! 4

5 Brief Highlights of Act 54 East Baton Rouge Parish School System In , teachers and administrators will be evaluated a) using the job description b) at least one informal observation + at least one formal observation c) VAM OR SLTs 5

6 East Baton Rouge Parish School System Value Added Model/Measure (VAM) and Student Learning Targets (SLTs) VAM includes: at least 5 students, prior year achievement data, gifted-504-disabilitylunch status, English language proficiency, attendance (Oct 1 two weeks before testing time), and previous discipline history SLTs are two growth objectives based on common assessments/measures (pre and post) to measure if objectives were met 6

7 Scoring Formula East Baton Rouge Parish School System 50% Qualitative (at least one informal + at least one formal observation) + 50% Quantitative (VAM or two SLT goals) 0.00 to 1.49 = Ineffective 1.50 to 2.49 = Emerging Effective 2.50 to 3.49 = Proficient Effective 3.50 to 4.00 = Highly Effective

8 East Baton Rouge Parish School System Example: 6 th Grade English Teacher Teacher has 7 informal observations (2 from Principal, 4 from AP (evaluator), and 1 from an Instructional Coach) and has two formal observations from the AP, who also collaborated on her personal Professional Growth Plan based on school improvement & district aligned objectives and her two SLT goals. This teacher also enters her CVR student roster with AP verification (2 nd check) by set deadline. By end of year, AP takes 7 informal observations to come up with one score between 1.00 and 4.00, and takes two formal observations to develop one score between 1.00 and Two scores are added and divided by 2 to obtain the one score between 1.00 and 4.00 for the qualitative 50%. Since this is a VAM teacher, the VAM score will be between 1.00 and 4.00 given by the LDOE. The VAM score will be added to qualitative score and divided by 2 for a final composite rating between 1.00 and For NTGS teachers, the score would be one score between 1.00 to 4.00 for SLT #1 and one for SLT #2 added together and divided by 2 to obtain an SLT score (50%) NOTE: Any ineffective score on qualitative or on either VAM or SLT is automatic ineffective.

9 Pilot Results East Baton Rouge Parish School System EBR participated in roster verification pilot in Curriculum Verification of Results Reporting (CVR) Portal In , 11 LEAs piloted the qualitative portion (COMPASS) showing a cumbersome process, thus Charlotte Danielson rubric was adopted and the current LCET and principal standards were decided as the best fit 9
