Educator Effectiveness The State Board believes that students should be surrounded by effective educators throughout their learning experiences such that schools and districts develop effective teachers and leaders who establish a culture of success. Areas of Focus • Nebraska Teacher & Principal Performance Framework • Professional Development • Building Leadership Supports

• Effective Local Policy Makers & Superintendents

Educator Effectiveness and Student Achievement Robert Marzano (2005): Nearly 60 percent of a school’s impact on achievement is attributable to principal and teacher effectiveness. About 35 percent can be credited to teacher effectiveness alone.

Eric Hanushek (2010): “The magnitude of the

differences is truly large, with some teachers producing 1½ years of gain in achievement in an academic year while others with equivalent students produce only ½ year of gain.”

Improving Educator Effectiveness

“We need a consistent definition of good teaching – describing not only the work in the classroom but also the behind-the-scenes work of planning and other professional work.” Charlotte Danielson

How do we define Effective Educator?

Nebraska Teacher and Principal Performance Framework - Approved, November 2011 Defined a set of Effective Practices for Teachers and Principals

Seven Effective Practices for Teachers • • • • • • •

Foundational Knowledge Planning and Preparation Learning Environment Instructional Strategies Assessment Professionalism Vision and Collaboration

Eight Effective Practices for Principals

• • • • • • • •

Vision for Learning Continuous School Improvement Instructional Leadership Culture for Learning Systems Management Staff Leadership Developing Relationships Professional Ethics and Advocacy

The NE Effective Practices define “good teaching – describing not only the work in the classroom but also the behind-the-scenes work of planning and other professional work.” They serve as the cornerstone of the Nebraska Teacher Evaluation Model.

The primary purpose of the teacher and principal evaluation models is the improvement of instruction and leadership based on the Nebraska Teacher and Principal Performance Framework. The teacher and principal evaluation should be based on multiple measures of performance with data gathered multiple times, leading to long-term performance improvement.

Components • Effective Practices Rating Uniform Instructional Framework Additional Effective Practices

• Student Achievement Rating Student Learning Objectives

Exemplary Proficient Basic Unsatisfactory

• Professional Development Rating Individual Professional Development Plan

• Local Factors Rating Optional

CCSSO Principles

Nebraska State Board of Education Study Committee on Teacher and Principal Evaluation Final Report March 4, 2016

State Board Study Committee Recommendations (3/2016) • The State Board adopts the Teacher and Principal Performance Framework as the minimum requirements for effective practices for teachers and principals. • The State Board directs NDE to develop effective practices for all other certificated employees. • The State Board recognizes that the effective practices and models, developed through the pilot process, are aligned with existing NDE Rules.

• The State Board believes that a quality evaluation model includes the following components: evaluation of effective practices, measures of student and school progress, plans for ongoing professional learning, and other locally determined components.

• The State Board directs that the evaluation models and supporting information developed through the pilot schools become open source for all school districts by June 1, 2016. • The State Board charges NDE to transition to a support and resource system for continued review and revision of the effective practices, evaluation models, and subsequent materials for school districts.
