Training Supports and Materials

CDE has created a suite of materials to ensure schools and districts have access to the latest information and resources to support staff trainings and implementation of their evaluation systems. Each includes pertinent talking points that may be used to customize your presentation and any companion resources necessary to complete the training.

2022-23 School Year Orientation Training

PowerPoint

The 2022-23 Orientation PowerPoint provides schools, districts, and BOCES with information to share with staff regarding Educator Effectiveness and educator evaluations.  The orientation slide deck serves as a shell and starting point to present relevant information and local protocols and processes for completing educator evaluations in the 2022-23 school year.  It is not meant to be used "as-is".  Information specific to the local district/BOCES needs to be added.

Aligning District Values with the Local System: Activity Facilitation Guide

This activity facilitation guide provides an opportunity to explore district values and to align those values with local systems related to educator effectiveness. By engaging in the values activities and subsequent discussions, participants can reflect on all aspects of the educator evaluation system, including the system as a whole, weighting of professional practices, measures of student learning/outcomes (MSLs/MSOs), and practices to ensure fair and effective evaluations.

MSLs and MSOs (applicable for the 2022-23 school year)

Webinar Part 1: Thinking Through District and School Measures

This recorded webinar is designed to be used with those involved in decision-making in your district to determine the measures of student learning and student outcomes (MSLs/MSOs) within the district licensed educator evaluation system.  This may include and not be limited to district leaders, HR and EE staff, evaluators, and members of your Advisory Personnel Performance Evaluation Council (also known as 1338 Committee).  It is designed to be paused and lead to a discussion with your colleagues to ensure a thoughtful determination of your district measures for the 2022-23 school year.

Webinar Part 2: Deepening Understanding and Creating Success Criteria around MSLs and MSOs

This recorded webinar is intended to follow the values-based discussion and determination of MSL/Os from the Part 1 webinar. This webinar will deepen understanding around the options for setting success criteria for a variety of student learning measures, and provide opportunities for teams to practice several methods for setting success criteria at both the individual and collective levels.
