There is pending legislation for PEAC's new charge that includes gathering feedback, promoting best practice and making recommendations to ISBE.  \nThis issue of Your Virtual PERA Coach focuses on the continuous improvement aspect of the process . The evaluation process , when implemented with fidelity , should be an integrated system that incorporates reflecting, planning and analyzing.  \nMuch information can be gained from all the sources of data used in a comprehensive performance evaluation system . This information should be analyzed and used to plan professional development opportunities and goals for the district, school, teacher, and students . The cyclical process continues to repeat with the end result being improved instructional practice and increased student achievement.  \nThank you for taking us with you on your PERA journey. We wish you much success and growth as you continue to refine your performance evaluation system .  \nSincerely ,  \nThe Performance Evaluation Advisory Council  \nThis year three-quarters of Illinois districts implemented new teacher evaluation systems incorporating student growth. As schools finish their first year using the new systems , it's a good time to pause, first  \nto look back and then to look forward.  \nIn January 2010 , the Illinois legislature passed the Performance Evaluation Reform Act. This legislation gave Illinois educators an opportunity to increase the amount of high quality performance feedback our state's teachers and principals receive.  \nPERA called for district joint committees , made up of teachers and administrators , to develop plans for incorporating student growth into the evaluation process . With input from PEAC , ISBE developed guidance and a \"default model\" that provided joint committees with answers to the question, \"What happens if our joint committee can't come to an agreement on an element of our plan for incorporating student growth?\"  \nJoint committees continued to meet, and eventually adopted plans for their new evaluation systems . Inmost districts the joint committee discussions also raised other important questions: Do we have the right assessments? Are our assessments aligned with what we're teaching? How can we find time for our teachers to work together? But at the end of the process , the overwhelming majority of joint committees reached agreement without having to default to the state model.  \nThis year, most districts implemented their evaluation plans for the first time. Teachers worried about SLOs , types of assessments and measures of growth. Evaluators wondered how they would find the time for the conferences , the formal and informal observations and all the paperwork.  \nBut you did it! Teachers developed their SLOs , students completed assessments , classes were observed , teachers and evaluators met, and summative ratings were assigned. Based on what we heard in our interviews with joint committee members from districts across the state, it wasn't perfect but it was a big step in the right direction. Here's some of what we heard:  \n \"For the first time, we' re really talking about teaching.\"  \n \"The process has forced us to get serious about our assessments.\"  \n \"It was a lot of time, but it was worth it.\"  \nAnd we also heard lots of good questions:  \n \"How can ","cbCaioe1X1hcbTHL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioe1X1hcbTHL","pdf",401678,"English","# Road to PERA: Continuing the Journey\n## Continuous Improvement\n# End-of-Year Conversations About Student Growth\n## Summative Forms\n# Additional Websites and Links\n# A Continuous Improvement Approach","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of this issue of Your Virtual PERA Coach?\",\"answer\":\"This issue focuses on the continuous improvement aspect of the PERA process, emphasizing an integrated cycle of reflecting, planning, and analyzing.\"},{\"question\":\"Why should joint committees reconvene after completing a year?\",\"answer\":\"After a year, joint committees should reconvene to review whether the plan was implemented with fidelity, assess whether the evaluation system is making a difference, and determine next steps for refining the system over time.\"},{\"question\":\"How should educators use evaluation data in the PERA process?\",\"answer\":\"Evaluation data from a comprehensive system should be analyzed and used to plan professional development opportunities and goals for districts, schools, teachers, and students, supporting improved instructional practice and increased student achievement.\"}]","Your Virtual PERA Coach - Issue Number 12 - April 2017 | PDF",1791601441,15]
