•
Is the goal attainable? Given resources available, goal must be realistic and
attainable. ?
•

Educator Evidence
Educator Evidence
• What is Evidence?
– Materials/Data that support the determination of
a rating
• When should Evidence be Collected?
– Throughout the school year, but must be
completed by Evaluation Conference.
• Why is Evidence Important?
– Provides validity
Educator Evidence
Formal Observations as Evidence
• Initial Progression
Four Annually
• Intermediate Progression
Two Annually
• Advanced Progression
• Not required, but may be requested
Educator Evidence
• Who Collects the Evidence?
– Both the Evaluator and the Educator may
collect evidence.
• When is evidence required?
– If you rate yourself as distinguished
– If your self-reflection differs from the opinion of
your evaluator
– When an “Unsatisfactory” Rating is Given
Educator Evidence
• What is the Difference between
Evidence “Noted in the System” and
“providing” evidence?
“Noted in System” vs. “Providing”
• First Determine if Evidence is Needed.
• If Evidence is Needed:
– Mutually agreed upon Evidence may be “Noted in
the System”.
– Evidence is “Provided” when the Evaluator is not
fully aware of the evidence.
“Noted in the System”
“Provide Evidence”
Educator Evidence
• Are Educators required to upload
Evidence?
– No. The Evidence Form is intended to
document Evidence to be verified.
• How much Evidence is needed?
– Can be as simple as a description with
date/time.
– Portfolios/Binders full of
Documentation are NOT NEEDED!!
Plans to Support Continuous
Improvement
• Culture based on trust, support and
professional growth
• Comprehensive system of support
– Focused Support Plan (FSP)
– Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
When is an FSP Needed?
• Area of Concern Identified
• Proactive, preventative
measure needed
• Support for struggling educator
Focused Support Plan
Components
• Area of concern/standard(s)
identified
• Expectation for change
• Purposeful conversation between
evaluator and educator
• 9 week timeline for implementation
• Specific resources for support
Focused Support Plan
Conclusion of Nine Week Plan
Does evidence demonstrate—
Standard met? Remove from the FSP
Adequate progress? Implement another
Focused Support Plan
Inadequate progress? Move to a
Corrective Action Plan
When is a CAP Needed?
• Inadequate progress on focused support
plan (if applicable)
• Unsatisfactory performance determined
• Misconduct that requires immediate
action (W. Va. Code §18A-2-8) and/or a
CAP
Corrective Action Plan
Components
• Unsatisfactory performance with reference
to the standard(s) to be addressed
• Expectations for change
• 18 Week timeline for implementation
• Specific resources for support
Corrective Action Plan
Conclusion of 18 Week CAP
Does evidence demonstrate—
Standard met? CAP successful
Standard not met? CAP may
not be repeated
Plans for Continuous
Improvement - FAQs
• A Plan for Continuous Improvement
can commence at any time during
the school year
• CAP is determinative and may not be
repeated

How do we get the School-wide
Growth Score?
It starts with a student
growth score.
Is it enough growth?
How much growth?
From Student to School Growth
» Examine students by grade and by content for the state
» Identify the amount of growth for each student in each
grade across the state (this number is referred to as a
Student Growth Percentile)
» Identify all of the students in the school
» Group all students in the school together, regardless of
grade
» Take the median (middle) growth percentile of all students
in a school for each content.
How is the 5% is calculated?
• There are 3 categories of growth:
– Low
– Typical
– High
• We split low into 2 categories for the educator
evaluation system. This gives 4 categories
– Very low (unsatisfactory)
– Low (emerging)
– Typical (accomplished)
– High (distinguished)

Impact of the System
Leadership Team Planning
• How will your leadership team motivate everyone
to embrace the Educator Evaluation System?
• How will your school make connections between
the evaluation system and other school-wide
initiatives?
• What are some complications that might arise
during the transition at your school? How will you
handle these situations?
• How will you reinforce and support the evaluation
system throughout the school year?

* Your assessment is very important for improving the work of artificial intelligence, which forms the content of this project
