Educator Practice Summary and Student Outcomes Summary
Student Practice Summary DPI Model Teachers: Component scores averaged = Domain Summary Domain Summary averaged = Practice Summary Principals: Component scores averaged = Practice Summary CESA 6 Model Use Rubric of Scoring Ranges
Student Outcomes Summary Individual measure scores weighted proportionally Weighted scores added together Summary rounded to nearest decimal on scale of 1-4 Example: Teacher Principal SLOs = 3.0 * 0.95 = 2.85 SLOs: 3.0 * 0.50 = 1.5 Value-Added = NA Value-Added = 3.0 * 0.45 = 1.35 SW Reading = 3.0 * 0.05 = 0.15 SW Reading = 3.0 * 0.05 = 0.15 Outcome Summary = 3.0 Outcome Summary = 1.50 + 1.35 + 0.15 = 3.0
Summary Graph The educator s results will be reported visually using a coordinate pair on the Summary Graph, summarizing the data collected regarding their practice and outcomes across the Effectiveness Cycle.

Reporting Requirements Locally: Visually/graphically report all data in most meaningful ways Only between educator and their administrators What and how used is local decision Federal: USDE has approved this scoring process USDE has provided initial approval for state-level reporting ONLY (for coming year)

Teachscape and documentation flexibility Note: Make sure you are not creating local processes which increase burden on time Evaluators ensure each of these scores is documented within online platform by June 30th Continued work to improve documentation platform
