If not all schools in the district have common goals because of disaggregated student data and different grade level needs, then each site should submit a separate table. Note: a school site s or district s goals should be updated annually if necessary. Based on the selected focus, each school site will use their student data to develop a narrower focus for their site with a measurable objective. 2.1 District goal for Q Comp focus Accelerate reading, mathematics, and language arts achievement for all students as measured by performance in reading, math, and writing on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments.

12 Page 12 Other 4. Objective and comprehensive teacher evaluation system based on the educational improvement plan, the staff development plan and multiple evaluations of a teacher s performance conducted by the locally selected and trained evaluation team that includes classroom observations of instructional practice. 4.1 Objective evaluation that includes an instructional performance tool. Describe how this instructional performance tool is comprehensive and aligned with the educational improvement plan and the staff development plan. Classroom observations will be scheduled according to the professional development calendar provided in Appendix C. Classroom observations of teachers working on Q-Comp school wide achievement goals will be scheduled differently than other staff members to ensure that modeling and coaching of instructional strategies to meet Q-Comp goals are maximized. 4.2 Classroom observations Describe how the performance tool focuses on instructional practice and how the evaluation process is aligned to teacher compensation in the teachers salary schedule. Classroom observations are based on the Hopkins Framework for Effective Teaching. The evaluation tool and rubric for teachers to understand how proficiency is attained can be found in Appendix D. Hopkins Schools modified the tool to narrow the focus of observations to instructional practice. These are boldfaced on the evaluation tool. 80% of Performance Pay will be allocated to teachers based on 100% proficiency in bolded items at the end of the second formal observation or evaluation. 4.3 Multiple evaluations by a trained team Describe who will be on the team, how many observations each member of the team will be responsible for over the course of the year, and any other responsibilities related to evaluation process. Use table below and add additional explanation. Team member position Number of observations per year Other evaluation responsibilities Master Teachers Site Instructional Leader Content and Instructional Coaches (Content and NUA)) 2 formal observations per Staff Member As Determined by Q-Comp and Teaching Teams (See Professional Development Calendar, Appendix C) As Determined by Q-Comp and Teaching Teams (See Professional Development Calendar, Appendix C) As Determined by Q-Comp and Teaching Teams (See Professional Development Calendar, Appendix C) 4.4 Equitable, feasible, valid, and transparent Describe process for selecting the evaluation team and the training module(s) required of each evaluation team member? How will inter-rater reliability be ensured? Will teacher self-analysis/reflection be an option? How will the site/district ensure the observation cycle will be done in a timely and appropriate manner? How will post-observation conferences be scheduled? How will score inflation be monitored? The process for selecting the evaluation team was a competitive interview process involving tenured teaching staff. Interview teams that selected each Master Teacher were district teachers and site administrators. Master Teachers, Site Content Leaders, and Site Instructional Leaders will participate in training for conducting effective classroom observations and providing feedback. This training will be provided by external and internal facilitators. Observers will observe each other s classrooms and do paired observations to ensure high inter-rater

13 Page 13 reliability. Other training to control for reliability will be to review observation process weekly and observe videotaped instruction as a large group to discuss evaluations. Observations will be conducted as identified on professional development calendar. District will ensure cycle is completed by monitoring completion and storage of electronic evaluations on district computer server. Pre- and post-observation conferences are required by the negotiated agreement with HEA and will be scheduled with each observation. It is expected that each teacher reflect on his or her teaching and discuss insights, ideas, and professional growth as a result with Master Teachers. This is outlined in the Framework evaluation tool. 5. Alternative teacher professional pay schedule. 5.1 If an alternative compensation system was not implemented in the previous master agreement, describe how the plan in this application accomplishes the transitions from steps and lanes to a new salary schedule. Under the Hopkins Compensation Model (HCM) steps and lanes and automatic salary increases have been eliminated and replaced with a performance appraisal system for all faculty members. (See Appendix D, Hopkins Compensation Model Regulations) 5.2 Describe salary schedule with at least 60% of teacher compensation increase based on a) school achievement gains under section 120B.35, or locally selected standardized assessments, or both; b) student achievement gains, where available under section 120B.35, or locally selected standardized assessments, or both; and c) results of individual teacher evaluations by a locally selected evaluation team. The HCM allows all faculty members to move in the traditional manner at the beginning of the school year. Each staff member will have an established base salary at this point in time. No new additional compensation dollars will be delivered to any staff member who has not met the established performance expectations. Performance expectations are determined by observations, Q-comp goal attainment and student achievement. Student achievement measures outlined in HCM Regulations under Performance Bonus section will be reviewed by negotiating team to attempt to refine list to Hopkins Indicators of Effective Classroom Instruction. The HCM provides the opportunity for an additional performance pay during the school year. During the school year certain staff members will be eligible for performance increments, and all staff members will be eligible for a 2% base adjustment and performance pay. No new additional compensation dollars will be delivered to any staff member who has not met the established performance expectations. (Please see Appendix D HCM Regulations: Master Agreement, ) Teacher observations (80% Performance Pay) will be completed by a team of teachers using the evaluation tool and rubric associated with the Hopkins Framework for Effective Teaching (See Appendix D). Q-Comp goals (10% Performance Pay) will be measured by student Achievement gains on Iowa Test of Basic Skills and MCAs. Individual student achievement (10% Performance Pay) will be measured using artifacts and components outlined in Hopkins Indicators for Effective Practice. 5.3 Salary augmentation for teacher advancement options. Describe the conditions that must be met for career advancement and additional compensation under the alternative compensation pay system. Teacher advancement options are filled through a rigorous, open competitive process, which includes the

14 Page 14 ability to demonstrate a proficient or distinguished level of performance. Definitions of Basic and Proficient for each component of each domain are provided on Rubric for Hopkins Framework for Effective Instruction. (See Appendix D). 5.4 Attach new salary schedule.
