Supporting School District Use of Evaluation Data: A Convening Presentation and Sample Human Capital District-Focused Report from Tennessee
Reform Support Network
In early 2015, the Reform Support Network brought together State department of education leaders from Colorado, Delaware, New Jersey and Tennessee to discuss strategies for refining and sustaining high-quality educator evaluation systems. During the convening, representatives from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) explained how the State shares evaluation data with districts to help them make strategic decisions about human capital issues. TDOE created a "human capital report," a district-specific report that provides data on a range of human capital metrics, including the percent of teachers whose growth scores do not align with their observation rating, teacher attrition by level of effectiveness and new hires by level of effectiveness. Following each metric, the report asks districts a series of guiding questions to help them analyze the data and identify next steps. Included here is TDOE's presentation from the meeting ["Appendix A"], along with a sample report for a mock district ["Appendix B"]. States can use these materials to reflect on how they are helping districts use evaluation data to more effectively manage their human capital.
