The purpose of the pilot is to provide an opportunity for LEAs to use the components of OTES and provide feedback to ODE. Evaluators and teachers using the components and associated forms will inform changes to the model and provide assistance in developing revised training for the model in There will be a variety of options within the OTES model pilot for LEAs to select based on the results of their Gap Analysis, Race to the Top (RttT) Scope of Work, and/or participation in Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) or School Improvement grant (SIG). LEAs can identify schools or specific classroom teachers and principals who would be interested in participating. The selected schools pilot one of four options: 1) OTES model components (goal setting, teacher performance, communication and professionalism), 2) OTES model components (goal setting, teacher performance, communication and professionalism), with locally developed student growth measures, 3) Local evaluation system alignment to OTES model (e.g., Danielson, Marzano, other), 4) Local evaluation system alignment to OTES model (e.g., Danielson, Marzano, other) with locally developed student growth measures. Teams of three to four persons (district level, building administration, teacher leader/ union representative) will attend sessions designed to support the pilot implementation. It is expected that school teams commit to attending specified days of training (entire team days one and four, building administration all four days). Sessions will be offered regionally based upon school participation. Sessions will not be offered at locations which do not meet minimum number of participants (to be determined). The tentative schedule for the first all-day session will be offered in multiple locations as follows: September 23 - Central ESC September 28 - North Central ESC September 28 - Muskingum Valley ESC September 29 - Hamilton County ESC September 30 - ESC of Cuyahoga County continued on p. 2 p. 1

2 continued from p. 1 The dates and locations for pilot training days two through four will be announced at a later time. All pilot sessions are intended to be face to face meetings. However, varied training opportunities will exist in subsequent school years. LEAs interested in participating in this pilot should complete the on-line survey ohio.gov/se.ashx?s=60da727017ffb179 no later than 5:00 PM on September 9, Schools selected for the pilot will be notified by by September 13, Questions may be addressed to the following evaluation@ode.state.oh.us. FAQs Value-Added What is s Race to the Top Plan for Expansion of Value-Added to the Teacher-Level? The Value-Added measure of student progress at the Local Education Agency (LEA) level has been a component of the Accountability system for several years. s Race to the Top (RttT) plan provides for the expansion of Value-Added to the Teacher-level. Additionally, the EVAAS data reporting system has added several helpful features to help educators use this important data. Battelle for Kids (BFK) is providing professional development and other related services across the state. 1) Teacher-level Value-Added (for math and reading, 4th-8th grade) is being implemented on a phased in schedule. LEAs that were participants in BFK pilots such as SOAR and TCAP will receive teacher-level reports for the school year. All RttT LEAs will be able to receive teacher-level reports for the school year. In , teacher-level reports will be available statewide. Recently passed legislation HB153 requires the implementation of teacher-level Value-Added by as a measure of student growth for the teacher evaluation system. 2) Several new features have been added to the EVAAS data reporting system with an emphasis on the diagnostic benefits of Value-Added data: Starting this year, EVAAS will include two different options for examining Value-Added and detailed diagnostic data. The first option provides the data for the accountability measures and includes students that meet accountability system enrollment requirements. A new addition, based on the request and recommendation of educators, includes the option to examine Value- Added and diagnostic data for all tested students, which has great diagnostic benefits for instructional planning. Another beneficial component is student growth projections, which display the student growth trajectories of all students in a particular grade or subject. ODE recently implemented a process allowing LEAs to submit student names to the EVAAS system so that LEAs can view student-level data connected to student names. New to EVAAS this year is an export function, which allows LEA-level EVAAS administrators to export Value-Added and diagnostic data to Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet formats. The EVAAS system has also added another frequent user request the ability to batch print reports in addition to individually printing reports 3) BFK, as the official Value-Added professional development provider, is conducting a series of professional development opportunities to assist educators in working with these new features and understanding the implications of the Value-Added system. BFK is providing numerous resources for all LEAs including training, regional support, webinars, and detailed tool kits. 4) Every LEA will be able to nominate a limited number of educators who will serve as District Value-Added Leaders (DVALs). These DVALs will be responsible for collaborating with the Department of Education s Value-Added Leaders (VALs) to train building-level teams and teacher-based teams on how to appropriately use Value-Added information. 5) In preparation for the upcoming District Value-Added Leader (DVAL) training sessions, the STARS system has been modified to handle selected registrations. STARS will now confirm registration into the DVAL training sessions by OEDS roles. This will allow the districts to have more control over who is confirmed to attend the sessions from their district. The district administer will have to assign the new OEDS role, District Valued-Added Specialist, to their DVALs before they will be able to register for the DVAL session. The DVAL(s) need to create/update their STARS Profile so that they are associated with the correct IRN, and then register for the DVAL training session or have a STARS Registration register for them. continued on p. 3 p. 2

3 RttT Workshops, Webinars and Trainings BFK value-added webinars on-line The four (4) value-added webinars that were offered in June by Battelle for Kids are now available online. Webinar topics include: Webinar 1: Value-Added: Then, Now and in the Future Webinar 2: Link Before You Leap Webinar 3: Building Capacity Using Value-Added in School Improvement Webinar 4: Implications of Teacher-Level Value-Added Data These webinars can be accessed through this link: Race_to_the_Top/ohio_Race_to_the_Top_webinars.htm l?sflang=en al Specialists Serving s RttT s Regions and LEAs As we approach the beginning of the second year in s Race to the Top (RttT), it is important to share examples and experiences of implementing 21st century reforms. Remember, if your LEA is engaged in what you believe to be an exemplary practice, please share it with your al and your al Specialist so that it can be shared with others via our newsletter and website. The new al Specialists for s Race to the Top have been assigned to specific LEAs assigned to each of the RttT regions as outlined in the list beginning on p. 4. Announcements Performance Assessment Pilot Project (OPAPP) Recruiting RttT LEAs OPAPP is recruiting RttT LEAs for the Elementary cohort. Applications will be due on September 30th and are currently available on the OPAPP website (found by searching OPAPP from the ODE Homepage). Questions about the program should be directed to Lauren Monowar-Jones (lauren.monowarjones@ode.state.oh.us) Attention Race to the Top Transformation Teams Annually, RttT participating LEAs will submit a comprehensive professional development plan that supports the goals they have identified in their RttT Scope of Work. For , professional development plans will be due no later than Friday, October 28, Please visit the RttT web page (rttt.education.ohio.gov) to access the directions and materials for completion of a professional development plan.

17 RttT Achieve Graduate Succeed COMMUNITY SCHOOL VALUE-ADDED WORKSHOPS Learning to use value-added information and achievement data as a catalyst for improving classroom instruction is an integral part of s Race to the Top efforts. By fall of 2013, all math and reading teachers for grades 4 8 will receive teacher-level value-added reports. With this advent of teacherlevel reporting, it is imperative that community school leaders: 1) learn how to interpret building- and teacher-level value-added reports and 2) help teacher-based teams effectively interpret and use their school- and teacher-level reports for diagnostic purposes. As part of Race to the Top, each community school can select two educators who will serve as your Community School Value-Added Team. These two educators will be responsible for collaborating with the Department of Education s Value-Added Leaders (VALs) to train building-level teams and teacher-based teams on how to appropriately use value-added information. Community School Value-Added Workshops will be offered by the Department of Education and Battelle for Kids in the fall at no cost. These workshops will provide your Community School Value- Added Team with a straightforward and efficient process for using value-added and achievement data to set improvement priorities at the school and teacher-based team levels. In this brochure, you will find criteria for how to select your Community School Value-Added Team and information on how to register the team for the upcoming workshops. Value-Added Information Matters Value-added information is important because of its impact on: The new school ranking system being implemented soon; Teacher and principal evaluations, where value-added information will contribute up to 50% of the total evaluation criteria; Teacher-level value-added reports, which will be provided statewide by 2013; and The Improvement Process and ongoing school improvement initiatives. 1
