agreed upon by the Evaluator and the Evaluatee.

Inter-Rater Agreement DEFINITION:

Reliability refers to the consistency of an assessment.

VALIDITY vs. RELIABILITY: Factual vs. Consistent

EXPECTATION: School district evaluators attend professional

learning activities that address the issue of inter-rater agreement relative to using the KEEP Rubrics.

The same expectations apply to districts using an evaluation system other than KEEP.

Use assessment measures currently in use in your district.

Share credit/responsibility for student growth.

Time for student growth 1-4 years.

Small Group Activity – Share Measures You Currently Use

Get into small groups of 3-4Talk about the grades, subjects,

and measures that you currently use

Write these down on the paper/chart

• Student Growth Measures Online Forms are now posted and available to complete on the Kansas Evaluation website. These forms will be completed by principals.

• On June 30th, a data snapshot will be taken of SGMs to be used in Kansas for 2014-2015. This data snapshot will be used within the first evaluations annual report.

Things to Know

Student Growth Measures:

Kansas school districts will include student growth as a significant factor in the evaluation of classroom teachers and building leaders.

State approved student growth measures will document the specific amount of student growth attributable to the teacher or building leader between two identified points in time.

Multiple measures of student growth (more than one) must be met before an educator can be rated as effective or highly effective.

State assessments are one possible measure and are a required measure for all grade levels and content areas that give them. Commercially purchased assessments and locally developed performance assessments may also be used, once they are approved by the KSDE.

KSDE Guidance for school districts:

LEAs should use the commercially purchased and locally developed student growth measures they currently have. State assessments are required as given.

All grade levels across schools in a district should use the same measures.

Local performance assessments should be collaboratively designed, reviewed and used across the district with strict adherence to an inter-rater agreement.

Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) or Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) are to be developed with collaborative districtwide teams.

Next steps:

All districts will identify student growth measures to be used and provide them to the KSDE (in a format to be determined) by June 30, 2014.

A “default list” of student growth measures for LEA

reference will be available and posted on the web by May 1, 2014.

IPP SUMMARY RATING

SGM SUMMARY RATING

Matrix Works with or Without Percentages

Matrix Used to Determine Summative Evaluation Rating Rules:

1. Must meet all three student growth measures to be considered

highly effective or its equivalent for the Student Growth Measures Summary Rating.

2. Must meet at least two student growth measures to be considered effective or its equivalent for the Student Growth Measures Summary Rating.

3. Must meet at least one student growth measure to be considered developing or its equivalent for the Student Growth Measures Summary Rating.

4. The Final Summative Rating can only be rated one performance level higher than the lowest Summary Rating.

5. When both Summary Ratings are the same, that rating becomes the Final Summative Performance Rating.

NOTE: Kansas State Assessments used as a Student Growth Measure are only required for teachers of tested grades and subjects.

Criteria list for selecting or creating a LOCAL student growth measure are: A. Common assessments must be created in consultation with

a school administrator with expertise in assessments, special education, ELL specialist and content expert.

B. Assessments cover all key subject/grade level content standards.

C. Number of test items should correlate to distribution of % of time spent teaching the content.

D. Assessments should require higher order thinking as appropriate.

E. Assessments should allow high and low achieving students to demonstrate their knowledge.

F. Assessments should measure accurately what it is designed to measure and produce similar results for students with similar levels of ability.
