Update on Gates Momentum Grant for Teacher/Principal Evaluation Project of the Pennsylvania Department of Education
The Pennsylvania Department of Education has received a “Momentum” grant from the Gates Foundation to start the consensus-building process to reach agreement on criteria to be used to measure teacher and principal effectiveness, appropriate student growth factors and their weighting in the overall evaluation systems. A Stakeholder Steering Committee is currently working on this project, with the following goals: 1) Determine criteria to be used to measure teacher and principal effectiveness; 2) Develop tools to measure teacher and principal effectiveness and pilot them in participating schools and districts: 3) Develop and pilot professional development module for principals in evaluating teachers and for superintendents in evaluating principals; and 4) Determine the correlation between the teacher and principal effectiveness measures tested and the impact on student growth. Update will be provided by PDE staff and consultant (Sharon Brumbaugh and Terry Barnaby).
While there is no registration fee, seating is limited and an RSVP is required.
You can RSVP on-line at http://www.eplc.org/forum_
I hope you will be able to join us.
In addition, please feel free to share this information with colleagues who may like to attend.
