Taking a
close look
Sample Annotated Goals
100% of my 7th grade health students in this 9-week
course will show measurable growth in healthy
decision-making. Students will take pre and post-tests
for each unit, 4 unit pre and post-tests throughout the 9
weeks course. At least 95% of students will be able to
make a healthy decision based on information given.
7th
Grade Health Goal
Not for use as
a model goal
TABLE TALK
 With
your team, talk through the
goal(s) on your table.

Based on the criteria you use to
evaluate a goal, decide what
feedback questions you would
ask?
 Add
your coaching questions to
the chart.
Let’s think about the annotations…
How can you use this
resource to support
principals, so they can
support teachers?

Important News Concerning KCAS-Science
Clarification on Science Testing in 2015
Kentucky will embark on the development of a new science assessment
system to match the standards. The new system will take time to build.
Thus, staff of the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) proposed to
the Kentucky Board of Education in June 2014 to suspend the K-PREP
science testing at grades 4 and 7 in the spring of 2015 since the only test
available measures out-of-date standards.
However, the United States Department of Education (USED), during the
review of Kentucky’s ESEA waiver extension submission, made it clear
that there must be a science test at these levels administered in
Kentucky in 2015. In order to meet USED requirements, the following
will occur:
• Elementary and middle schools will administer at
grades 4 and 7 a science Norm-Referenced Test
(NRT).
• The Stanford NRT has been given for the last three
years as Part A of the K-PREP science test. The NRT
is 30 questions and takes 40 minutes of testing
time.
• National percentile results will be reported, but
scores will not be used in the state accountability
system.
• Alternate Assessment students will be tested in science
in spring 2015 at grades 4, 7 and 11.
• Grades 4 and 7 will not be used in state accountability.
The process for Alternate Assessment for grade 11
science is still under development.
• Science tests will continue to be part of the ACT
EXPLORE (grade 8), ACT PLAN (grade 10) and the ACT
(grade 11). For Alternate Assessment students, the
Transition Attainment Record will continue.
• Results for all will be reported and used in
accountability.
As the new science assessment
system develops, educators will
be kept informed of timelines
and other important info
Change
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the
past or present are certain to miss the future.”
—John F. Kennedy
“Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.”
—John F. Kennedy
“Change is a natural process that is necessary for
improvement. Sometimes changing things that no one
sees is necessary for improvement; sometime even
changing my underwear is an improvement!”
— George Carlin?
If Not you…Then Who?
The state assessment drives what
happens in our classrooms and it derails
authentic science learning for our
students
So, what if…..
Imagine if you had the opportunity to reverse that
model?
What
if you could be part of a system where
instructional planning based on 3-dimensional
science standards was the cornerstone of
assessment design?
Journal the following, using support from the brief.
1. Why is a new assessment system needed?
2. Compare the characteristics of the traditional
assessment system with those needed to measure
mastery of the new science standards.
3. Why isn't it feasible to assess all PEs at a specific grade
level with a single assessment?
4. What components constitute a systems approach to
assessment? Which of these components represent a
significant shift from our current system?
5. What recommendations were made regarding the
development of a new assessment system in the BOTA
report?
What if…
Kentucky teachers focused first on shifting their
instruction and developing assessments to
reflect the 3-dimensional learning intention of
the framework which requires not only a
deeper understanding of fewer concepts
intentionally developed over time, but also
incorporates what we’ve learned about how
kids best learn science?
What if…
Teacher and student learning determined
what our state assessment looked like so
that our kids are assessed in a way they can
demonstrate what they really know?
Our new science standards require a
shift from what scientists and engineers
know to what scientists and engineers
do with what they know.
Instructional experiences created from
these standards will give students an
opportunity that many have not had
before: to solve problems, evaluate
evidence and search for important
questions.
Teachers will have the opportunity to
design experiences and assessments
that emphasize the broad range of
scientific and engineering thinking rather
than only fundamental knowledge.
Students won’t just be given the pieces
of the puzzle, they will practice using
the same skills that scientists and
engineers use to assemble those pieces
through the process of gathering
information, applying reasoning and
communicating their findings.
Imagine…
A world where classroom experiences
drive state assessment
A world where students engage in
authentic science experiences
YOU are the pivotal point in this
process!


PGES is one system. OPGES & TPGES are
distinguished by the frameworks for
observation used in each setting.

The purpose of the OPGES portion of
PGES is to meet the needs of other
professionals who impact student
learning, but are not in a traditional
classroom setting.
Purpose of OPGES Pilot
OPGES Pilot
The OPGES pilot during the 2014-2015
school year does not permit evaluation for
personnel decisions.
 Other Professionals will be evaluated using
PGES & the OPGES framework in 20152016.

OPs not in pilot

OP’s not in the pilot and in their summative year
will be evaluated with the district’s Former system
- NOT PGES.

OP’s not in the pilot MAY complete the selfreflection/ PGP tool that is aligned with the new
frameworks in CIITS.
◦ PGP’s have always been a part of schools
systems; even those NOT in the pilot can
complete them with the new format.
◦ They may also use the Word template available
on the website.

do I want to change about my

student learning?
 What
 How
is the plan of action?
will I know if I accomplished my
objective?
OPGES Student Growth Goals
Same
process as TPGES
Questions for OP to consider
1. What matters most for my content
area?
2. How do I know? (What standards,
expectations, etc. guides my work?)
3. What makes it goal target meaningful
and worthy of embedded, course-long
focus?
Student Growth: What is enduring?
Learning that:
• Endures beyond a single test date
• Is of value in other disciplines
• Is relevant beyond the classroom
(applying learning to new and unique
situations)
• Is worthy of embedded, course-long
focus
• May be necessary for the next level of
instruction
• Requires critical thinking (analyzing,
creating and evaluating)

Districts determine due dates
Early school year:
 Complete self-reflection and PGP
 Begin to collect baseline data for SGG. Identify student needs to create SGG
October:

Begin observation cycles. (Follow district cycle, 3-1 or 2-2.)

SGG may be due in some districts. Check the CEP schedule.
November – March
 Continue pre-conferences, observations, peer observations, post conferences.
 Continue to self reflect and make adjustments if needed.
 Continue to review SGG progress.
 Complete Student voice survey
◦ OPGES will complete SV only in spring/ March window. (Will not be in infinite
campus.)
