What is content-specific
instruction?
• Responsibility to plan the instruction of the assessed
eligible content, provide the instruction of the
assessed eligible content, and use the assessment
information to evaluate the effectiveness of the
instruction of the assessed eligible content on a PA
state assessment.
• Defined on the Framework for Teaching by both
Domains 1 and 3:
• Content specific instruction is a determination made
locally by the LEA.
10
Are special education teachers,
intervention specialists, reading/math
specialists, ESL teachers, and gifted
teachers eligible for a PVAAS score?
• Yes, if the teacher is responsible for Domains 1
& 3.
• There may be more than one teacher planning,
instructing, and assessing the students (i.e.,
co-teaching, team teaching).
11
Are instructional coaches eligible for
a PVAAS score?
• If the role of the instructional coach is only to
provide support and consultation to PA
certified educator(s)/adults this does not
meet the criteria for PVAAS teacher-specific
reporting.
• PVAAS teacher-specific reporting is provided
to those who provide content specific
instruction to the students. (Framework for
Teaching, Domains 1 and 3)

Ensuring Accurate Information:
PVAAS Roster Verification
Provide PVAAS teacher
specific reporting based
on an accurate
representation of a
teacher’s responsibility
and influence on the
academic growth of
students.

Essential Linkages in PIMS
• Make sure the right teachers are linked to the right
students for the right proportion of instructional
responsibility for the right tested
grade/subject/course to yield PVAAS Teacher
Reporting.

Partial % of
Instruction
• This % is your total Instructional Responsibility for a
student.
• This % reflects how much the student will be
weighted in the PVAAS analyses.
• The % Instructional Responsibility is calculated by
multiplying the (% Student + Teacher Enrollment) by
(Full or Partial % of Instruction).

PIMS Course/HQT
submitted by LEAs to
PIMS (Student, Staff,
Course Templates)
