State competition was designed to reward states that were leading the way in comprehensive, coherent, statewide education reform acrosseducation reform across four key areas:
1. Adopting standards and assessments that prepare students to succeed in college and the workplace;
2. Building data systems that measure student growth and success, and inform teachers and principals how to improve instruction;
3. Recruiting, developing, rewarding, and retaining effective teachers and principals, especially where they are needed most; and
4. Turning around their lowest-performing schools.
Florida has worked diligently to bring together broad statewide support from superintendents, school boardschool board members, teachers and teacher associations for the Race to the Top application

Student Achievement and Global Economic Issues
• In America today, one in four students fails to graduate from high school on time.
• African American and Hispanic students drop out of high school at nearly double the rate of their white g ypeers.
• The consequences for the individuals and the costs to the nation are staggering in terms of lost wages and earnings over a lifetime, which are estimated at about $335 billion per year.

Perfect Storm in Leadership Evaluation
• National leadership crisis• Acute and growing shortage
of leadersof leaders• Flawed evaluation systems
Florida Standards for School LeadersFlorida Standards for School Leaders
Why New Standards?SBE Rule 6B-5.0012, Approved April 19, 2005
Two of the most comprehensive studies on educational leadership were completed in the last three years 2009-2011
Significant aspects of this contemporary g p p yresearch were absent within the 2005 FPLS (e.g., instructional leadership, feedback, and human resource development)
Core expectations for what effective school administrators know and are able to do are considerably different than in 2005 when Florida adopted the previous standards
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 20
Method of Development• Both the 2005 and 2011 Standards developed by a
collaborative statewide process
• Broad cross-section of stakeholders
• Extensive opportunities for public review and input
• 2005 FPLS informed by historical patterns of what principal’s jobs entailedprincipal s jobs entailed
• 2011 FPLS informed by gap analyses comparing issues in the 2005 standards to contemporary leadership research and practitioners input on best practice
• 2011 FPLS are modeled after the 2010 FEAPs adding clarifying and defining descriptors to address gaps in the 2005 standards

FSLA Overview
Learning Activity 2
So we can better understand the new Florida Principal Leadership Standards (FPLS) please turn to pages 4-13 in the handout and follow the directions for the activity.
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 22
Effective• The “Effective” level describes leadershipperformance that has local impact (i.e., within theschool) and meets organizational needs.
• It is adequate, necessary, and clearly makes asignificant contribution to the school.
• The majority of the leadership workforce will be in theeffective area once they have a clear understandingof what the FPLS require and have made the adjustments and growth necessary to upgradeperformance.
HighlyEffective
• The “Highly Effective” level is reserved for trulyoutstanding leadership as described by very demandingcriteria.
• Performance at this level is dramatically superior to“Effective” in its impact on students, staff members,parents, and the school district.
• Highly effective leadership results from recurringengagement with “deliberate practice.”
• In brief, the “Highly Effective” leader helps every otherelement within the organization become as good as theyare. In normal distributions, some leaders will be ratedhighly effective on some indicators, but very few leaderswill be rated highly effective as a summative performancelevel.
Needs Improvement• The ”Needs Improvement” level describes principals whounderstand what is required for success are willing tounderstand what is required for success, are willing towork toward that goal, and, with coaching and support,can become proficient.
• Needs improvement rating will occur where expectationshave been raised and standards made more focused andspecific.
• Professional behavior and focused professional learningwill guide school leaders toward increasingly effectiveperformance.
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 23
UnsatisfactoryPerformance at the “Unsatisfactory” level describe leaders who do not understand what is required for proficiency or who have demonstrated through their actions and/ordemonstrated through their actions and/or inactions that they choose not to become proficient on the strategies, knowledge bases, and skills sets needed for student learning to improve and faculties to develop.
Learning Activity 3

Indicator Relationship to Overall Scoring of the FSLA
Performance LabelsThe performance labels used in Section 1012.34, F.S. for summative performance levels are also used in the FSLA to summarize feedback on domains, proficiency areas, and indicators:
Hi hl Eff ti (HE)• Highly Effective (HE)• Effective (E)• Needs Improvement (NI)• Unsatisfactory (U)
Direct WeightingDirect Weighting: The FSLA score is based on ratings for each of four domains, but the system specifically gives added weight to Domain 2: Instructional Leadership: The weights are:
Domain 1: Student Achievement: 20%Domain 2: Instructional Leadership: 40%Domain 3: Organizational Leadership: 20%Domain 4: Professional and Ethical Behavior: 20%
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 34
Embedded WeightingThe use of Domain scores to generate an FSLA score results in embedded weighting as the Domains have different numbers of indicators.
• For example: Domain 1 has eight indicators, p g ,Domain 3 has 16 indicators and Domain 4 has four indicators, but each Domain contributes 20% to the FSLA score.
FSLA ScoreProficiency on Indicators leads to an FSLA Score.• Ratings on indicators (using rubrics in the FSLA)
are combined to generate a rating (HE, E, NI, or U) on each Proficiency AreaU) on each Proficiency Area.
• Ratings on Proficiency Areas are combined (using the tables in this scoring guide) to generate a Domain Rating.
• Ratings on Domains are combined (using tables in this scoring guide) to generate a FLSA Score.

Describing A Focus Issue
• Focuses on classroom instruction or on leadership practices
• Clearly describes a significant problem in student (your Gap and Cause for Gap Statement) and ad lt performanceStatement) and adult performance
• Is actionable
• Links to a broader strategy of improvement (from your Single Plan)
• Is high-leverage
Sample Focus Issue
Elementary School Example
Research clearly states that Instructional leadership provided by the principal is second to the leadership of the teacher in the classroom and its impact on student achievement. With the newly adopted Marzano teacher evaluation model I am expected to model a deep understanding of the Art and Science of Teaching Framework. My self-assessment indicates a gap in the knowledge and skills identified in Domain 2, Proficiency Area 3: Effectiveknowledge and skills identified in Domain 2, Proficiency Area 3: Effective school leaders work collaboratively to develop and implement an instructional framework that aligns curriculum with state standards, effective instructional practices, student learning needs, and assessments and Proficiency Area 4: Effective school leaders recruit, retain, and develop an effective and diverse faculty and staff; focus on evidence, research, and classroom realities faced by teachers; link professional practice with student achievement to demonstrate the cause and effect relationship; facilitate effective professional development; monitor implementation of critical initiatives; and secure and provide timely feedback to teachers so that feedback can be used to increase teacher professional practice.
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 59
Sample Focus Issue
High School Example
Our Florida Algebra 1 End-of-Course data shows that only 30% of our students enrolled in Algebra 1 are earning a score in Achievement Level 3 or higher. Students must achieve this level of proficiency to receive high school credit for Algebra 1. Data from the math department PLC indicates that 40% of students enrolled in Algebra 1 courses are regularly not demonstrating proficiency on the priority standards as measured by common formativeproficiency on the priority standards as measured by common formative assessments administered on a monthly basis. We have speculated that the lack of proficiency on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course assessment is directly related to lack of progress toward the standards throughout the year. Additionally, we have not engaged in-depth study about what instructional practices may need to be employed to positively influence student progress toward meeting the standards of Algebra 1. Our math professionals may not fully understand how to apply what the research says about which math interventions demonstrate a positive effect size, particularly in mathematics.
Selecting Growth Targets
Growth Target
Explanation
Growth Target #1
An issue that addresses a school improvement need related to student learning and either selected by the district or approved by leader’s supervisor. The focus should be on complex issues that take some time to master such as providing observation and feedback of high-effect size instructional practices.
Growth Target #2
An issue related to a knowledge base or skill set relevant to instructional leadership selected by leader).
Growth Targets#3&4
Optional: additional issues as appropriate. The addition of more targets should involve estimates of the time needed to accomplish targets 1 and 2. Where targets 1 and 2 are projected for mastery in less than half of a school year, identify additional target(s).
Growth TargetImpact of Your Work
Level Description
Elementary School
Results from the FSLA Staff Questionnaire will show an increase in the percentage of teachers responding either agree or strongly agree on the following indicators (3.6) The leader monitors the effectiveness of classroom teachers and uses contemporary research and the district’s instructional evaluation system criteria and procedures to improve student achievement and faculty proficiency on the FEAPs; and, (4.2) The leader monitors, evaluates proficiency, and secures and provides timely and actionable feedback to faculty on the effectiveness of instruction on priority instructional goals, and the cause and effect relationships between professional practice and student achievement on those goals.
High School
Increase the percent of students enrolled in Algebra 1 earning a score in Achievement Level 3 or higher on the Florida Algebra 1 End-of-Course assessment from 30% to 50% by spring of 2013.

Elementary School
Increased student achievement outcomes as a result of improved pedagogical practices that more effectively utilize instructional time and resources.Enhance and improve coaching and reflecting conversations focused on instructional practices designed to assist teachers in articulating their selection of specific targeted strategies based on g p g gtheir student data. Increased principal and teacher confidence in the role that meaningful coaching and reflecting conversations can play in changing teacher’s impact on student achievement.
High School Our math professionals will have a greater understanding of those instructional practices that are highly related to increases in student achievement and those that have a negative impact on student achievement.Our math professionals will be able to maximize the growth and performance of students by replicating these highly effective practices.
Plan of ActionTheory of Action Statement
Level Description
Elementary School
If I implement a well defined targeted coaching model plan that promotes a deeper understanding of researched based pedagogical practices with ongoing actionable feedback regarding professional practice then, teachers will effectively implement high yield instructional practices that lead to increases in student achievement.
High School If we engage in an in-depth study of those instructional practices followed by proficient implementation of those practices then we will increase student achievement.
FSLA Technical Assistance Charlotte County School District Page 61
Progress PointsMonitoring and Charting Progress
Level Description
Elementary School
Increase the percentage of staff who implement at the proficient or higher-level (selected) high yield instructional strategies Increase the percentage of just-in-time professional development support provided to teachers monthly that directly relates to improved instructional practice. Increase the number of minutes spent monthly applying and assessing the proficient or higher use of interpersonal discussion-dialogue skills.
High School Increase the percentage of math professionals who have reviewed research related to effect sizes of instructional practices and have implemented at the “Proficient” or higher levels (select) instructional practices.Increase the percentage of math professionals who are using the results of their frequent monitoring to make adjustments to math instruction that increases student achievement.
Learning Activity 11Consider the elements of Deliberate Practice we have reviewed. As a table team compare and contrast the Deliberate Practice component of the new evaluation system to the previous practice of Administrative Growth Plans. Capture your thinking on chart paper using a Venn diagram, double bubble map or some other graphic format. Be prepared to share out your findings.
“The research suggests that when professional development efforts are focused on a few key elements [e.g., improving feedback assessmentfeedback, assessment practices, etc.] the yield in student achievement is greater than…the flavor-of-the-month approach in which fads replace effectiveness.”
