DECISIONS SINCE SPRING 2013 ROSTER
VERIFICATION
Actual N Count = 11 Students
 Cumulative Count - Per tested grade/subject/course
“Active” N Count = 6 Students
 Similar in concept to an “FTE”; 6 “active” students
 Example: 11 actual students, each claimed for 50%
Instructional Responsibility, would equal 5.5 “active”
students” – not enough “active” students for a teacher to
get PVAAS teacher specific reporting in this subject/grade
Minimum Threshold for % Instructional
Responsibility: 10%
 All students need to be rostered
 <10% will not be included in a teacher’s analyses
40
QUESTIONS FOR LEAS
 Have the LEA staff responsible for EE met with your LEA
staff responsible for PIMS/SIS?
 Has your SIS vendor provided your LEA an update to the
SIS system aligned to SY13-14 PIMS?
 All teachers eligible for PVAAS in the SIS?
 Scheduling Elementary Students in SIS?
 All Keystone courses identified?
 Structure for % Student + Teacher Enrollment in SIS?
 Structure for % Full/Partial Instruction in SIS?
 How do you plan to ensure consistency across the LEA?
 % Instructional Responsibility needs discussed LEA wide
41
MORE QUESTIONS FOR LEAS
Awareness?
 Do all district level admin know about Spring 2013 roster verification?
 Do all school admin know about Spring 2013 roster verification?
 Do the teachers eligible for PVAAS teacher specific reporting know about
Spring 2013 roster verification?
Training?
 When/how will district admin/school admin receive training on roster
verification process and system?
 When/how will teachers receive training on roster verification process and
system?
Implementation?
 When will teachers complete the roster verification process?
 How will they be supported?

PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS UPDATES
 REL & Mathematica have indicated that PA’s
Principal Evaluation tool is by far the strongest in the
country
 The aspect involving the correlation between Teacher
Evaluation and PVAAS Results still needs “tweaked”
– may become a “relationship” instead of a
“correlation”
 PIL courses are being designed for Teacher
Evaluation and Principal Evaluation
 REL is developing online principal training
 PLCs for principals are being developed

TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS UPDATES
Use the best available data
“Rule of thumb” – If a teacher has no
connection to student achievement data,
then the evaluation becomes 100%
Observation data (Danielson Framework)
PDE will issue guidance soon to clarify
what data should be used in what
circumstances
