2 Welcome and Introductions Turn and Talk how does this relate to our Educator Effectiveness work? Introduce yourself to your partner
3 Reflection on Educator Effectiveness Based on your experience with Educator Effectiveness What are the top three examples of changes you have seen in characteristics/behaviors of educators? See the Task Packet
4 Principal Effectiveness Why Important and Why Now? Effective school leadership has an impact on developing a culture focused on student achievement. As noted in the Wallace Foundation report: The School Principal as Leader : They [principals] have to be leaders of learning who can develop a team to deliver effective instruction. Given Act 82, we are able to develop a Framework for Leadership in tandem with the deployment of the Danielson Framework for Teaching. 4
5 Principal Effectiveness Why Important and Why Now? (continued) Focusing on leadership and teaching frameworks concurrently enables schools more opportunities to enhance student achievement and promote collaboration. As the Commonwealth continues its work with the establishment of universal effectiveness frameworks, it is essential that building and system leaders have initial and ongoing training to guarantee sustainability and reliability. 5
6 Principal Effectiveness System in Act 82 of 2012 Observation/ Practice Framework for Leadership Domains Strategic/Cultural Leadership Systems Leadership Leadership for Learning Professional and Community Leadership Building Level Data/School Performance Profile Indicators of Academic Achievement Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap, All Students Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap, Historically Underperforming Students Academic Growth PVAAS Other Academic Indicators Extra Credit for Advanced Achievement Building Level Data, 15% Correlation Data/Relationship Based on Teacher Level Measures Observation /Practice 50% Correlation Data Based on Teacher-Level Measures, 15% Elective Data 20% Elective Data/SLOs District Designed Measures and Examinations Nationally Recognized Standardized Tests Industry Certification Examinations Student Projects Pursuant to Local Requirements Student Portfolios Pursuant to Local Requirements June 26,
7 Multiple Measures Principal Effectiveness Ratings as Defined in Act 82 For the overall principal effectiveness rating, we know that 50% will comprise the observation/practice piece (Framework for Leadership). 15% will be derived from building level data (School Performance Profile SPP). 15% will be determined by the relative strength of conversation regarding the connectedness between the average teacher observation/practice rating and teacher-level measures. 20% will incorporate Elective Data / SLOs for principals. (note: for , elective data is optional) 7
8 Correlation Data Based Upon Teacher Level Measures It was recommended that we adopt a process that focuses on the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader based on the principal s knowledge, understanding and intended use of the evidence / data presented. The rating for correlation data is based on a qualitative assessment by the supervising administrator of the level of understanding (0, 1, 2, or 3) of the quantitative analysis conducted by the principal / school leader.
9 Correlation Data Based Upon Teacher Level Measures To aid the supervising administrator in assigning a correlation rating (0, 1, 2, or 3), a Performance Level Descriptor Chart has been developed. This chart will provide guidance for rating the conversation between the supervising administrator and the principal / school leader regarding the connectedness between Teacher Level Measures and Observation and Practice (Framework for Teaching) ratings. Teacher Level Measures shall include, but not be limited to any combination of one or more of the following data Building Level Data / SPP Teacher Specific Data (PVAAS, etc.) Elective Data / Principal SLOs
10 Elective Data / SLO Based Upon Teacher Level Measures PDE has provided a template, guidance and direction to facilitate the completion of the SLO document. The template consists of 8 parts: Goal Statement, Data and Evidence to be used, Action Plan and Timeframe, Performance Indicators, Performance Measures, Principal Expectations, How this relates to the Framework for Leadership. This SLO process for principals is OPTIONAL for
11 Rating Tools Useful for Determining a Principal / School Leader s Rating A rating tool (PA 82-2) has been developed that incorporates all aspects of the Principal Effectiveness System such that a final rating for a principal can be determined. Final ratings and all supporting evidence/documentation for individuals will be kept at the local level. Only aggregate ratings information will be submitted to PDE. The rating tool for Non Teaching Professional Employees (PA 82-3) has also been developed. The rating tool reflects a similar design as the one developed for teacher evaluation (PA 82-1). See Task Packet 11

14 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Framework for Leadership 1 4
15 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Previous Work Reviewed existing state models from North Carolina, Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Colorado. Analyzed elements of the various models from the following perspectives: The nine PA School Leadership Standards; Specifically the Core & Corollary Leadership Standards as mandated by Act 45 of The leader s role in improving student achievement. The desire for measureable and constructive feedback to staff. 1 5
16 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Framework for Leadership 1 6
17 Alignment with PIL Possible Approaches Following the completion of initial training on the Danielson Framework for Teaching and certification for inter-rater reliability, principals will receive reinforcement of these concepts within the PIL program. Incorporate teacher evaluation information into NISL Course 1 (part of Principal Induction). Currently PIL Induction participants must complete an Administrative Leadership Project (ALP). As the ALP must be focused on improving student achievement, we would require that participants connect their individual ALP back to a specific domains in the evaluation tool. Potential of creating a Professional Learning Community for the participants through SAS. 17
18 Alignment with PIL Possible Approaches Incorporate training on the Framework for Leadership into Course 1, Unit 3 (Principal Induction) where participants must focus on the elements of Standards-Based Instructional Systems, as found on SAS. Incorporate training on the Framework for Leadership into Course 1, Unit 4 (Principal Induction) where participants could actually focus on the use of the framework in each of the domains. 18
19 Principal Effectiveness Instrument Alignment with Act 82 and PIL Program 19
20 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Framework for Leadership Review of Research and Other Experts Consulted 2 0
21 Opportunity to Learn Conducted an extensive review of research linked to principal effectiveness. Therefore as reflective practitioners We ask you to: Individually read your assigned article. Gather 3 golden lines (phrases or words that resonate with you make you think make you question ) Trios share your golden lines Consider How does this article inform/affirm your current practice as an educational leader. Large group- Shout it out purpose is to synthesize all three articles Trios take the highlights that you gleaned Where are these evident on the Smart Card? Individually So where do you think you will want to focus your attention on your practice this year? See Task Packet

23 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Research Highlights from the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) Report: Principals have the greatest indirect impact on student learning. An emphasis is needed for evaluators to be accredited and reaccredited after a set period of time to prevent rater drift. Having multiple observers helps to validate the growth, improvement, and evaluation process. Resource: 23
24 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Research (continued) Highlights from the RAND Corporation Report: First Year Principals in Urban School Districts : The report provided an analysis of the relationship between first year principals and achievement within urban school districts. Results showed that when a principal leaves, student achievement suffers 2-3 years. Resource: 24
25 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Research (continued) Highlights from the Wallace Foundation Report: The School Principal as Leader include the following competencies for effective school leaders: Share a vision of academic success for all students. Create a climate hospitable to education. Cultivate leadership in others. Improve instruction. Manage people, data, and processes to foster school improvement. Resource: leadership/documents/the-school-principal-as-leader-guiding-schools-to-better- Teaching-and-Learning.pdf 25
26 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Research (continued) Highlights from the April 2010 Policy Brief, Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER): More effective principals are able to staff schools with more effective teachers. Experience is a predictor of principal effectiveness. The principal's job is complex; Effectiveness depends on sense of efficacy on tasks and how time is allocated for tasks. Principal evaluations of teachers can offer valuable feedback on teacher performance, as opposed to student test scores alone. Resource: 26
27 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Engaging Stakeholders and Expertise Educational experts from national, state, and local levels have provided guidance throughout the process. Expertise employed includes: Engagement with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Education Lab (REL) to facilitate collaboration with other states and to provide expertise in the validation of the Pennsylvania Framework for Leadership. Partnership with the Gates Foundation to provide resources and expertise. Seeking independent review of materials by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) from a systematic / sustainability perspective. 27
28 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Engaging Stakeholders and Expertise (continued) Expertise includes: Collaborated with superintendents and principals within and outside Pennsylvania to ensure a practical application of the Framework for Leadership. Conducted stakeholder meetings (which include superintendents and principals) representing LEAs of various sizes and locations throughout the Commonwealth. 28
29 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Review of Research and Other Experts Consulted Research Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) RAND Corporation Report: First Year Principals in Urban School Districts Wallace Foundation Report: The School Principal as Leader April 2010 Policy Brief, Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER) Experts Mid-Atlantic Regional Education Lab (REL) Mathematica Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) American Institute of Research (AIR) Matt Clifford Stakeholders (superintendents and principals) representing LEAs of various sizes and locations throughout the Commonwealth. 2 9
30 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Conducting Pilot Phases Various phases were implemented to pilot the Framework for Leadership and additional supporting materials. Obtaining direct feedback from the field during each of these phases has been a critical piece. Phase I ( ) Feedback from a mini pilot indicated the need to develop a more robust framework and provide supporting resources. Phase II ( ) Included 194 LEAs (districts, career and technical centers, charter schools). 1,982 principals participated. 30
31 Developing a Framework: Our Journey Conducting Pilot Phases (continued) Phase III ( ) Included 240 LEAs (districts, career and technical centers, charter schools) Principals, 423 Assistant Principals participated Both Phase II and III Surveys used to obtain qualitative feedback (process, structure of Framework for Leadership, resources, etc.). Quantitative research conducted by Mathematica (through the Mid-Atlantic REL) to validate the Framework for Leadership. Phase II Quantitative Research Results Indication that the Framework for Leadership has good internal consistency. The domains within the Framework for Leadership tend to capture a similar underlying leadership quality. 31
32 Zooming down to the essence of Frameworks
33 Framework for Leadership Incorporating Act 82 of 2012 Within Act 82, new requirements for Educator Effectiveness have been defined for teachers, principals, and education specialists. Specific to the principal are the evaluation categories of Planning and Preparation, School Environment, Delivery of Service, and Professional Development. Utilizing the expertise previously identified, a Framework for Leadership was developed with a defined domain and component structure. An alignment of this framework structure to the Act 82 legislated categories was completed. 33
34 Framework for Leadership Alignment with Act 82 34
35 Framework for Leadership Domains The Framework for Leadership establishes a set of four leadership domains: Domain 1: Strategic/Cultural Leadership Domain 2: Systems Leadership Domain 3: Leadership for Learning Domain 4: Professional and Community Leadership The Framework for Leadership contains specific components (with corresponding descriptors) to be included in each of the four domains. 35
36 Domain 1: Strategic/Cultural Leadership With Components Domain Descriptor: Principals/school leaders systemically and collaboratively develop a positive culture to promote student growth and staff development. They articulate and model a clear vision of the school s culture that involves students, families, and staff.

42 Contrast and Compare: The Framework for Leadership to the Danielson Framework for Teaching
43 Connectedness Between the Leadership and Teacher Frameworks There is a broad connection between the Framework for Leadership and the Teacher Framework that warrants close inspection. Although the differences are obvious in that they apply to different positions in the educational system, they have imperative systemic goals in common. The visual below illustrates this connectedness: Framework for Leadership Strategic Discussions Framework for Teaching Area of See Task Packet Commonality 43
44 Wise and Sundstrum in The Power of Coaching(2011) tell us.. Teaching effectiveness and the commensurate ability to influence student academic performance remain critically dependent upon teaching behaviors and the ability to communicate meaningfully. Class size Teacher experience Rigorous testing The how of teaching
45 Area of Commonality Between the Leadership and Danielson Frameworks (continued) The two overlapping circles of principal and teacher effectiveness create an area of commonality. This area of commonality requires alignment of goals, effort and resources in a system that is student-centered. In the next slide, eight essential factors contribute to this area of commonality: Framework for Leadership Strategic Discussions Danielson Framework for Teaching Area of Commonality 45

49 Questions Questions Questions
50 Possible Guiding Questions To Help Inform the Process To ensure that principal and teacher effectiveness remain connected; highly strategic discussions regarding the eight essential factors must occur among all partners. Two Possible Guiding Questions documents have been created to help inform both the vertical and horizontal discussions that should occur within the evaluative process for teachers and principals. More specifically these documents include Strategic Discussions Between Supervising Administrators and Principals / School Leaders Strategic Discussions Between Principals / School Leaders and Teachers. 50
51 Strategic Discussions Individually Conduct a review of both Guiding Questions Documents. Pairs Answer the following question prompts - How do these Guiding Questions help you in your role as principal? As Instructional Leader? How and in what way is questioning at the root of effectiveness for teachers and principals? Large Group Genius Discussion
52 Structured Support for Strategic Discussions about Learning To ensure that principal and teacher effectiveness remain connected; highly strategic discussions regarding the eight essential factors must occur among all partners. Possible Guiding Questions Strategic discussions between supervising administrators and principals Possible Guiding Questions Strategic discussions between principals and teachers Decreased Isolation Increased Conversation
53 Types of Evidence Used to Support the Framework For each of the components within the Framework for Leadership, possible sources of evidence have been identified Principals / School Leaders (identified in Act 82) Evidence is provided as examples that LEAs can choose to bring to formative and summative evaluation sessions. NOT intended to be a checklist. Other sources of evidence can be determined locally. CTC Directors (identified in Act 82) A need existed to address the specific needs of CTCs, hence an expanded version of the Types of Evidence document was created. Again, other sources of evidence can be determined locally Supervisors (not identified in Act 82) The evidence document developed for principals / school leaders will be beneficial. Other sources of evidence based upon an individual s unique role and function can be determined locally. 53
54 Based on Evidence ---- Individually: Look over this document. Examine on your own practice. Consider the focus area you chose earlier today. Look at that area of focus What evidence will help inform your growth/practice? Pairs: Share with each other the types of evidence you think will support your professional growth?

56 Process for Principal Effectiveness Assistance to Implement the Framework for Leadership Using the Document Process for Utilizing the Framework for Leadership Individually read the document Highlight what you like what relates to our current system etc. See the Document - LEA and School Planning Questions Using both documents Fill in the double entry journal in order to establish the best processes for both the principal and evaluator --- See Task Packet 56
57 Process for Principal Effectiveness Assistance to Implement the Framework for Leadership (continued) Steps for Supervising Administrators (those conducting evaluations) 1. Complete training offered by your Intermediate Unit. 2. Review your current LEA evaluation process and incorporate the Framework for Leadership, Types of Evidence, and Possible Guiding Questions/Connectedness documents into your process. 3. The principal/school leader (person being evaluated) reviews the Framework for Leadership with you to determine agreed upon components based upon data and previously identified professional development needs. A recommendation is to include a minimum of two components per domain. This forms the basis of the evaluation. 57
58 Process for Principal Effectiveness Assistance to Implement the Framework for Leadership (continued) 4. Map out an agreed upon observation schedule and types of evidence to be collected throughout the year by you and the principal/school leader for each agreed upon component. 5. Meet midway through the year to discuss progress in collecting evidence relative to the agreed upon components (and other components upon which evidence has been collected). Provide written and/or oral feedback. If needed, based on data and feedback, make any necessary adjustments. Types of Evidence and Possible Guiding Questions/Connectedness documents are available to help frame the conversations. 58
59 Process for Principal Effectiveness Assistance to Implement the Framework for Leadership (continued) 6. The principal/school leader completes an End of Year (EOY) selfassessment by highlighting areas within the defined performance levels of the Framework for Leadership based upon evidence that support these performance levels. You should also complete an independent EOY assessment based upon evidence you collected relative to the principal s/school leader s performance. 7. Conduct an End of Year (EOY) meeting with the principal/school leader to compare your assessment with the principal/school leader s selfassessment to determine the final evaluation ratings for each of the domains (areas of disagreement should be resolved by a review of the evidence). Note: A domain rating is not intended to be an average of the component ratings for that domain; rather, it is based upon the preponderance of evidence presented for that domain. 59
60 Process for Principal Effectiveness Assistance to Implement the Framework for Leadership (continued) 8. Enter final domain ratings into the Principal Effectiveness Rating Tool. 9. Opportunities exist to use the results of the EOY meeting to inform possible Principal SLOs for the following year. 60
61 Shift Happens. I used to think. effectiveness was based on opinions and judgments average and mediocrity was accepted in the classroom it was about teaching top down management instruction came from textbooks facts and knowledge were the basics isolation allowed me to be creative Now I think. effectiveness is based on evidence and data average is over it is about learning we have a collegial responsibility we can design learning based on standards and frameworks conceptual understanding and application are essential collaboration is necessary to be creative and innovative!
