This document outlines a teacher evaluation system created by CESA 6 to help districts evaluate and support teachers. It includes performance standards in areas like instructional planning, assessment, and professionalism. Evaluators rate teachers as distinguished, effective, developing, or unacceptable based on evidence. The system aims to increase student achievement by ensuring effective teachers and leaders through regular evaluations.

Editor's Notes
- #2: We began our Educator Effectiveness Journey in August 2010 and our journey has consisted of many twists and turns.Next Slide
- #3: At the request of the superintendents from the CESA 6 area districts, CESA 6 School Improvement Services was given the charge of cooperatively leading a planning process so that the CESA 6 districts would have a CONSISTENT process to assist them to successfully recruit, hire, support, assess/ evaluate and train effective teachers and leaders.
- #4: So as we began the educator effectiveness journey we listened to what educators had to say about educator effectiveness. We conducted extensive research on effective vs. ineffective teaching and leadership. We studied the work of Danielson, Marzano, Saphier, Reeves, and Stronge regarding educator effectiveness, and we collaborated with the DPI, the SE Wisconsin Effectiveness Consortium, and multiple vendors, including Teachscape, Pearson, McKel, and OASYS.Next Slide
- #5: James Stronge and Associates was chosen by the CESA 6 school districts as the model for evaluation that would best suit the districts needs and help them to achieve their goals. Stronge and Associates research was used to frame the project, facilitate the design teams, prep the handbooks, and assist in providing training.
- #8: CESA 6 Effectiveness Project is an approved EQUIVALENCY PROCESS on the PRACTICES side of the 50/50.
- #9: The initial inspiration and design of the CESA 6 Effectiveness Project began in 2010…long before ACT 10 or the submission of the Wisconsin DPI Waiver Request. The project was initiated as a call to action in response to the research regarding effective vs. ineffective teaching and leading. The incredibly positive influence of highly effective teachers and school leaders on student achievement illuminated what educators as well as parents and students have always known: Highly effective teachers and school leaders make a BIG difference in levels of student success. Unfortunately, the research also illuminated the profoundly negative impact that ineffective teaching has on student learning. This research propelled CESA 6 leaders to create partnerships focused on the creation of a research-based, feasible, learning focused professional evaluation system for the educators that interact with our most precious resource: our children. The vision of an effective teacher in every classroom, and effective leader in every school, and an effective educational system in every community is truly a MORAL IMPERATIVE if all children are to succeed at high levels.
- #10: Increase educator effectivenessthrough the systematic articulation and implementation of a research-based, clearly articulated performance evaluation system for ALL educators within an educational organization; (teachers, educational specialists, school administrators, and eventually… district administrators, central office staff, para-professionals and others).Increase resource efficiencythrough the data-informed collaborative use of professional development resources (time, dollars and professional expertise) across schools, districts and regional CESAs.Insure system sustainability and fidelitythrough a pricing structure that allows equal access to all districts regardless of size and resource capacity; an implementation plan that provides extensive face-to-face and online training support focused increasing the leadership capacity of district-level leaders; and a regional support network to support ongoing systematic monitoring of fidelity implementation, inter-rater reliability and continuous improvement of the Effectiveness Project. While the focus of the CESA 6 Effectiveness Project © is certainly student achievement, the economy of increasing resource efficiency through the collaborative use of the resources of time, expertise and dollars is another imperative in these challenging times. The CESA 6 Effectiveness Project © provides the opportunity for data-driven, standards-focused professional development across grade levels, schools, districts and regionally. Further, the strong implementation plan and provision of ongoing training and support from regional CESA partners ensures that the system is implemented with fidelity.
- #11: See the “BOLD” words/phrases for the design commitments of the project.
- #12: According to the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality, there are 8 components required of a comprehensive professional evaluation system. The CESA 6 Effectiveness Project meets all 8 requirements.System Goals – see previous 3 slidesStakeholder Involvement – approximately 140 educational professionals (teachers, educational specialists, principals, central office administrators, superintendents, post-secondary personnel, a BOE rep, a community rep, multiple WEAC reps and representation from DPI participated in design sessions and conversations. Each design team met for 4 full days to give input into each of the 3 professional evaluation systems: teacher, educational specialist and school administrator. Evaluation Format – See common structure across all systems (6 standards, common components, OASYS data management) on the next 8 slides.Strength of Measures: EP includes multiple measures of professional “practice” (observations, artifacts, surveys) and will incorporate the measures of student achievement as prescribed by the DPI. All data will be managed in the MyLearningPlan OASYS online data management systemEvaluator Training – ALL evaluators are trained in ALL of the systems (TPES, ESPES and SAPES) and attend (2) F2F inter-rater reliability trainings per year (formative and summative). Evaluators are also required to be “certified” as an EP Evaluator through the use of the MyLearningPlan ELEVATE, which will be implemented prior to formal roll out in 2014-15.Alignment with PD and Standards – Data gathered during the evaluation process will provide the basis for standards-based goals for professional development. This will be modeled during the upcoming training on MyLearningPlan OASYSData Infrastructure and Transparency – Both evaluator and evaluatee participate in the evaluation process and engage in shared dialog regarding the requirements of the evaluation process as it is managed in MyLearningPlan OASYS. Timelines for evaluation and the required components are clearly communicated and shared with both evaluator and evaluatee. Systems Evaluation – District “audits” will be conducted annually in the spring and data gathered as a result will inform potential revisions or adjustments to the system. Formal system evaluation will be conducted of all equivalent models by a non-bias party charged by the Department of Public Instruction.
- #13: The current tiers of professional evaluation included in the CESA 6 Effectiveness Project include teachers, educational specialists and school administrators. Note the comparability of the components utilized for evaluation. The components are very similar, yet allow for the unique roles and responsibilities of each position to be reflected in the process. The CESA 6 Process is much more that an observation process. These tiers or towers represented the data that is accumulated to document proficiency of each teacher, educational specialist and school administrator implementing the system.
- #19: Here is a sample of what one of the standards looks like on the summative evaluation form The evaluator will rate each standard using a “preponderance of evidence” from the multiple data sources. We will conduct additional training on this aspect to the system later in the year.
- #22: Pull it all together…The evaluator evaluation model (50:50) and the use of multiple data sources come together.
- #23: Diagram shows the relationship of support built into the implementation plan for the CESA 6 Effectiveness Project. The red arrows indicate the support relationships…ie: CESA Liaisons support EPICs, EPICs support Evaluators and Evaluatees, Evaluators support Evaluatee. NOTE: EPICs = Effectiveness Project Implementation CoachesAsk yourselves:Who am I in this system?Who are you in this system?What can we do together?
