A Deeper Understanding of Conjunctive Scoring

BUILDING EXPERTISE 2014 Annual Interna+onal Marzano Conference June 18-­‐20, 2014 CONJUNCTIVE SCORING Penny Sell What Do You Think? •  Summa+ve scoring is an average of all scores. •  Formal evalua+ons are weighted more than informal evalua+ons in the summa+ve score. •  Growth scores and evalua+ve scores are calculated separately. •  Scores at the beginning and not using are harmful to a teacher’s overall ra+ng. •  It is not possible to use the same observa+on tool for teacher growth and summa+ve evalua+on. Development or Measurement? What should be the focus of your teacher evalua+on system? 1.

No low scores will harm teachers. ©2014 Learning Sciences Interna+onal 2 BUILDING EXPERTISE 2014 Annual Interna+onal Marzano Conference June 18-­‐20, 2014 CALCULATING THE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE SCORE Two Components of the
