Happy Friday, happy pay-day, happy belated autumnal equinox.
TPEC TEAR and TPPP
Teachers received two copies of their TPEC TEAR reports this week, the second of which contains revisions of AIMSWEB scores and should be an accurate picture of your performance based on your TPEC evaluation and student achievement data last year. Please refer to the 301: Program Info Packet that you were given at our first faculty meeting for clarification on how these scores will be applied to your compensation.
In a nutshell, of the $1000.00 total award that is available to teachers, 75% (up to $750.00) of it is called the Individual Component of the Teacher Performance Pay Plan (TPPP). For this component:
- You will receive 30% ($300.00) if you are listed as Innovating on your TPEC evaluation or 20% ($200.00) if you are listed as Integrating.
- There is no award for teachers listed as Applying or Emerging on TPEC.
- You will receive 25% ($250.00) if at least 85% of all your students (if you worked as a team, this means all of the students in your team's cadre) showed growth on the measure(s) you chose during your TPEC pre-conference last year.
- You will receive 15% ($150.00) if between 70-84% of all your students (if you worked as a team, this means all of the students in your team's cadre) showed growth on the measure(s) you chose during your TPEC pre-conference last year.
- There is no award for student achievement below 69% growth.
The remaining portion of the Individual Component of the TPPP is the Professional Responsibility Component which is an all-or-nothing 20% ($200.00) for teachers who complete "a minimum of thirty hours [of eligible activities]... during the school year." A non-exhaustive list of eligible activities can be found in the packet.
For the record, the remaining 25% of the TPPP award (up to $250.00) is based on district and school letter grades. Because we are a C school in a B district, you will receive 10%, or $100.00, for this part of the TPPP.
TPEC sign-offs
 |
| Pre-conference review and sign-off |
First, you'll need to review and sign-off on the details of your pre-conference. You should do this soon. If you've had your pre-conference already, you can do it now.

| Formal observation acknowledgement |

Post Conferences
I have blocked out the 2:00-3:30 timeframe on Friday afternoons to conduct post-conferences with you following your formal evaluation(s). I have scheduled three observations a week between now and December, so this block of time should allow for three 30-minute blocks to meet with each of the teachers evaluated in a given week.
A post-conference is not required to complete your evaluation, but I think it's a good idea, especially if you hope (as I do) to view your evaluation as part of a formative, professional-growth process. Following your formal observation, please correspond with me to let me know if you'd like to sit and talk about your evaluation. In reply, I will let you know what time between 2:00 and 3:00 to arrive.
Review of Amendment
I posted an Amendment of our Professional Expectations on the Blue Note earlier this week. Most of you have complied with my request to review and acknowledge it. Thanks.
Please remember: if you choose to adjust your start-time to 8:20, you must work until at least 3:50 in order to fulfill your contractual obligations.
If you have not already done so, please correspond with me if you are unable or unwilling to assist with recess duty at 8:15 so that I can arrange my schedule to be outside with students until you arrive at 8:20 on the morning you are assigned duty.
Connect To School Night sign-in sheets
Do you have sign-in sheets from Connect To School Night? If you do, please deliver them to the wire in-box outside my office door. I'd like to hang on to them. Thanks.
Findlay Honda
If you refer a friend or relative to Tyler at Findlay Honda and they purchase a vehicle Findlay will donate $100.00 to Marshall School.
