Effectiveness Project: Initial Training

Initial Training Day 1
Teacher Performance Evaluation/Educational Specialist Performance Evaluation System:
TPES/ESPES

TPES - System Learning includes the qualities of effective teachers, the performance standards for teachers, the data sources that are collected in teacher evaluation, and how to document evidence of teacher practices. In addition, the training includes video simulations to practice the documentation of evidence in written and observable formats. The preponderance of evidence is the target for collecting data - for both the evaluator and the teacher.

ESPES - The target of this training is to recognize that up to 25% of our professional staff that contribute to student success comes from a variety of staff members - Library Media Specialists, Technology Integration Teachers, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, School Nurses, School Counselors, School Social Workers, and School Psychologists. While the standards of these professionals are the same, it is important to recognize the variety of contributions these staff members make to the overall education system in your district. The focus is on a parallel system of evaluation that recognizes the nuances of these positions and purposes.


Initial Training Day 2
School Administrator Performance Evaluation/MyLearningPlan® OASYS
SAPES/MLP-OASYS

SAPES - System Learning includes the qualities of effective school administrators, the performance standards for school administrators, the data sources that are collected in school administrator evaluation, and how to document evidence of school administrator practices. The preponderance of evidence is the target for collecting data - for both the evaluator and the school administrator.

MyLearningPlan® OASYSSM - The electronic tool being used to house all of the information regarding observations, artifacts, survey data, pre and post observation conferences, and the summative evaluation is introduced in a part day session to familiarize administrators to the tool that will assist them in scheduling and completing the process for teacher, educational specialist, and school administrator evaluation. Simulations will be a part of this training to allow practice in a safe, skill-building atmosphere.
