When fully implemented in 2015-16 school year, the new system would rate teachers on a 0-3 scale for each of the following measures: Classroom Observation, Student Learning Objectives, Pennsylvania Value Added Assessment System (PVAAS) score (for teachers of state-assessed eligible content), and a building-level score as measured by the School Performance Profile (SPP). Using the multiple measures listed above, all teachers would receive a composite evaluation score that falls into one of four rating categories: Failing, Needs Improvement, Proficient, or Distinguished.<\/p>\n<p>The new system was implemented gradually, beginning in the 2013-14. Composing 15% of a teacher\u2019s final rating, a SPP score has the potential to increase or reduce a teacher\u2019s overall effectiveness rating. This has raised concerns about the incentive, or lack thereof, for high-quality teachers to teach at high-need, low-performing schools. This policy brief addresses these concerns within the context of the School District of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Use the button to download the 2-page brief.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_btn title=&#8221;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE BRIEF&#8221; style=&#8221;gradient-custom&#8221; gradient_custom_color_1=&#8221;#0b315b&#8221; gradient_custom_color_2=&#8221;#398635&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.philasd.org%2Fresearch%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F90%2F2020%2F04%2FPolicy-Brief_Teacher-Evaluation_FINAL_14-03-03-1.pdf|||&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A policy brief addressing concerns about the impact of building-level School Performance Profile (SPP) scores on teacher evaluations in the School District of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35966,"featured_media":4490,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equity","category-system-trends"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35966"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5061"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5312,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5061\/revisions\/5312"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
