Summary of NC Teacher Evaluation #NCADMIN Chats

The final three #ncadmin chats involved the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation System, which continues to be a learning process for all those involved.  Through the engagement of these three chats, principals, assistant principals, teachers, and other educators were able to collaborate and discuss the standards and various elements.

All three chats have been archived in my Storify account.  It is my hope that other administrators and teachers across North Carolina use the collaborative efforts of the #ncadmin PLN as a resource when discussing the NCEES tool.

Notes from Understanding Standards VI & VIII

I recently viewed an archived W ebinar called "Understanding Standards VI & VIII", which will be incorporated in every teacher's and administrator's evaluation, respectively.  I wanted to share my notes, which I provided via Twitter:

NC will use the Educator Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS) for standards 6/8.


Growth will be determined comparing "predicted scores" and student performance. (Opinion: Predicted scores will now weigh heavily)

The three Principal Rating Categories for Standard 8: Does not meet expected growth, Meets expect growth, Exceeds expect growth.


For principals, Standard 8 is called "Academic Achievement leadership".


For teachers, Standard 6 is called "Contribute to Academic Success" and has the same three rating categories. 


Standard 6 for teachers will consist 70% of teacher score & 30% of school score.


Three years of data must take place before a teacher or principal receives a "Status" for Standard 6/8.


Principals "status" will be "In Need of Improvement" if any Standard 1-7 rating is lower than proficient AND/OR Does Not Meet ExpGr.


Principals "status" will be "Effective" if Standards 1-7 rating is proficient or higher AND Meets/Exceeds Expected Growth.


Principals "status" will be "Highly Effective" if Standards 1-7 rating is accomplished or higher AND Exceeds Expected Growth.


Teachers "status" will be "In Need of Improvement" if any of Standard 1-7 is below proficient AND/OR Does Not Meets Expected Growth.


Teachers "status" will be "Effective" if Standards 1-5 is Proficient or higher AND Meets Expected Growth on Standard 6.


Teachers "status" will be "Highly Effective" if Standards 1-5 are Accomplished or higher AND Exceeds Expected Growth.


For the 2011-2012 school year, Standard Six rating for teachers in non-tested grades/subjects will be based on school-wide growth.



Hopefully these notes are helpful to all teachers and administrators in North Carolina.  There is much more information regarding Standards VI and VIII, so I strongly suggest pursuing the information available for your district.
