4 Section A, Part II: Candidate Assessment/Performance and Program Effectiveness Information Part IIa: Program Effectiveness Candidate Competence Assessment Tool (4-6 key assessments) New Mid-Year Survey 2009/10 End of the Year State Survey 2007/08 and 2008/09 Retention Data SA PT Follow-up Feedback Survey 2009/10 FACT Formative Assessment Context for Teaching Module FACT Formative Assessment Initial Assessment of Teaching Practice Module Description of Tool Include the assessment tool s range of responses (e.g. 1 to 5 scale, 1 = low) This survey was developed locally based on the CSTP and BTSA Induction Standards. There is a PT, SP, and SA version. Most questions are scored on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 = strongly disagree). PT survey question #11 and SP question #15 are scored on a 1 to 5 scale. The survey is developed by the state BTSA Induction Task Force. There is a PT, SP, and SA version. It is taken online at the end of each year. Each BTSA Induction Program is sent aggregated data each summer. Most questions are scored on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 = strongly disagree). The data is organized so comparison can be made between 07/08 and 08/09 results. This data is collected by BTSA Induction Staff from multiple sources (district personnel staff, direct phone calls, Google searches, etc.) and submitted online at the state BTSA Induction website. This data includes teaching status of teachers two to five years out of the BTSA Induction program. The state, in turn, sends the compiled data back to the individual BTSA Induction programs. This survey was developed locally to collect data related to BTSA Induction graduates and their CSTP/Induction Standards effectiveness (as they relate to candidate competence) as they continue in their career. The survey is scaled on a 1 to 4 continuum (1 = not effective/4=very effective). The director collected data via face-to-face or phone interviews with the Leadership Team representative from each member district. PTs submit an electronic copy of the FACT documents Documents are scored by trained field experience reviewers Scores of 2 or better meet the standard; scores of 1 are remediated Consortium approved rubrics are used to establish expected results for scores 1-3 o 1 limited, needs work (advise and assist) o 2 good (complete minimum candidate competence) o 3 very good (thoroughly and thoughtfully done maturing beginning competence) PTs submit an electronic copy of the FACT documents Documents are scored by trained field experience reviewers Scores of 2 or better meet the standard; scores of 1 are remediated Consortium approved rubrics are used to establish expected results for scores 1-3 o 1 limited, needs work (advise and assist) o 2 good (complete minimum candidate competence) o 3 very good (thoroughly and thoughtfully done maturing beginning competence) Page 4 of 15

12 Section A, Part III: Analysis of Candidate Assessment Data Program Effectiveness Areas of Strength Mid-Year Survey Based on the survey (i.e. mean scores, etc.), the following items have been identified as strengths: SP/PT relationship is the most valuable aspect of the program (as stated by PTs and SPs) Both SPs and PTs feel the SPs have strengths to share in the following areas: o Content Standards o Classroom management o CSTPs End of Year Survey Based on the following items from the End of Year Survey (SP and PT), the program is trending positive (improving) [according to the mean scores]: Survey & Question # PT SP #4 #8 #9 #11 #14 #18 #14 #17 In general, the professional development providers enhance the foundations of BTSA Induction (CSTPs, standards, beginning teacher development) Time spent working with Support Provider met PT needs Time spent with SP in formal/informal interactions o Time spent analyzing student work o Time spent on in-depth inquiry into teaching practice Time spent investigating CSTPs via FA The goals, design, and expectations of the BTSA program were clear & understood FA and professional development activities helped PTs o Improve teaching knowledge and skills Areas for Growth Mid-Year Survey Based on the survey (i.e. mean scores, etc), the following items have been identified as areas for improvement: SPs and PTs agree (originally 3.42 and 3.37 respectively on a 4-point scale) that SPs knowledge and their ability to assist PTs in using technology to advance student achievement is an area that could be enhanced. SAs indicated (3.5 on a 4-point scale) that PTs need additional support to help them more effectively apply the strategies necessary to support Special Populations in daily instructional practice. End of Year Survey Based on the following items from the End of Year Survey (SP and PT), the program is trending negative (needs improvement) [according to the mean scores]: Survey & Question # PT SP #18 #6 #17 Meeting with other SPs for professional development and problem solving. Both low mean scores and a negative trend indicate the need for more SP-SP interactions. FA and professional development activities helped PTs o Teach special student populations Page 12 of 15

13 Candidate Competence Areas of Strength o Improve ability to use standards-based instruction o Create a supportive and healthy environment for learning o Work with families of students o Subject matter pedagogy o Improve student achievement Retention Data Retention data indicates that completers of our program are successfully continuing in their education careers. As the years go by, more teachers move into leadership roles. Our programs combined teaching and leadership percentages for years 2-5 are 92.8%, 93.5%, 86.6%, and 87.5%. Statewide percentages for those years are 84.5%, 82.5%, 84.4%, and 83.5%. Our program out-performs the statewide results every year. FACT Context for Teaching, Initial Assessment of Teaching Module According to the mean rubric scores for the modules, candidates performed between good/complete (rubric score 3 minimum candidate competence) and very good/thoroughly and thoughtfully completed (rubric score 2 maturing beginning competence). SA PT Follow-up Feedback Survey The survey results indicated that our program graduates have proved themselves to be effective to very effective (candidate competence) in the following CSTP/Induction Standards Categories: Addressing equity and diversity in teaching Teaching English learners Teaching special populations Areas for Growth o Analyze student work FACT Context for Teaching, Initial Assessment of Teaching Module PT first time passing rates for Modules were a clear indication of a need for improvement: o Context for Teaching: 1 st time passing rate 34.8%, mean 2.76, std. dev o Initial Assessment of Teaching Practice: 1 st time passing rate 51.9%, mean 2.76, std. dev In one sense, the mean score indicates that at least minimum candidate competence has been achieved. The program, however, also looks at this as an area for growth because we desire to move the mean closer to maturing beginning competence in the future. Program Completion The percentage of PT completion by June 30 th (of year 2) was 88% for 07/08 and 92% for 08/09. This needs to be watched for future trends that would indicate the need for intervention. If the percentage remains above 90% in the future, no intervention actions will be taken. SA PT Follow-up Feedback Survey The survey results for Working with Families of Students was only in the somewhat effective to effective range. Page 13 of 15

14 Areas of Strength Using technology to support student learning Improving student achievement The survey referenced the highest marks for four areas of Candidate Competence: Creating a supportive and healthy classroom for student learning Classroom management Understanding performance levels for students Collaborating with colleagues Areas for Growth Section A, Part IV: Use of Assessment Results to Improve Candidate and Program Performance Program Effectiveness Data Source (Part III Area of Growth) Mid-Year Surveys SPs would benefit from additional technology training as it relates to student achievement. Common/Program Standard(s) Program Standard 5 Plan of Action or Proposed Changes SPs and PTs alike will be offered additional training in the use of technology to advance student achievement. Five new technology offerings have been added to the professional development available to SPs and PTs. Mid-Year Survey SA Indicate that PTs need additional support to help them more effectively apply the strategies necessary to support Special Populations in daily instructional practice. End of Year Surveys SPs indicated that PTs need help with Teaching Special Populations and analyzing student work. Program Standard 6 Program leadership is working with county office Special Education experts to develop additional staff development that has been proven effective in facilitating the teaching of Special Populations. These professional development offerings will be piloted in Training scripts for SPs training of the process for analyzing student work will be in place for during both veteran and new SP training sessions. End of Year Surveys Poor mean scores and a negative trend for SP-SP interaction and professional development. Program Standard 3 SPTalk (an online listserve) is being tested to enhance SP-SP interaction. SPgenerated questions, answers, and discussions are available to all SPs in the program. Program leadership monitors the listserve and gives input when necessary. SP staff development sessions with dedicated agenda time for SP-SP Page 14 of 15

15 Candidate Competence/ Performance Data Source (Part III Area of Growth) FACT context for Teaching, Initial Assessment of Teaching PT first time passing rates for the FACT Modules were clear indications of a need for improvement: Context for Teaching: 1 st time passing rate 34.8%, mean 2.76, std. dev Initial Assessment of Teaching: 1 st time passing rate 51.9%, mean 2.76, std. dev Common/Program Standard(s) Program Standard 4 Plan of Action or Proposed Changes interaction time are being piloted this spring (as a result of this study). The feedback so far (via professional development evaluations) indicates that problem solving and team building between SPs will enhance the work with their PTs and the formative assessment. The training script will be reviewed and modified to emphasize the specific requirements, purpose, and needed quality for candidate competence to be achieved. Samples of the acceptable documentation will be made available for SP review and training. This is our pilot year of using the new FACT formative assessment system. The experiences and exemplars that have been developed during this pilot year point towards much improved implementation in years to come. BTSA Staff have already developed an enhanced scoring rubric (with narratives describing what is expected as indications of candidate competence) that will be shared with SPs and PTs to help define what is needed to show candidate competence. Our program is working with another Cluster program to enhance our Exit Interview process to make it possible to additionally affirm the candidate competence that is already indicated by formative assessment evidence and completion rates. The plans of action mentioned above will be put in place to advance the goal of a mean score closer to rubric score 3 maturing beginning competence. Program Completion The Year 2 June 30 th completion rate indicates improvement could be achieved. Program Standard 1 Benchmark timelines for have been moved forward (FACT Module completion, etc.) to facilitate a timely June 30 th program completion. A closer monitoring of PT progress will soon be possible with the new online BTSA Induction Management System (BIMS see note below). The new BIMS tracking program (when fully operational in ) will make it possible for program leadership to monitor the PTs progress on a monthly basis, allowing additional support (from site/btsa Staff) or intervention to take place in a timely manner. SA PT Follow-Up Feedback Survey PTs Working with Families scored somewhat effective to effective range, indicating room for improvement. Program Standard 5 We will watch this to ascertain if it needs to be addressed in the future. We do not feel intervention is warranted at this time. Note: BIMS was created in-house as an online system used by PTs, SPs, and Field Experience Reviewers to facilitate timely submission, evaluation, and monitoring of FACT and other program required documents. It provides for interaction and dialog exchange between all program entities (PT, SP, staff, Field Experience Reviewers, etc.). PTs progress through the program can be monitored monthly so mid-course corrections can be made in a timely manner. Page 15 of 15
