PVAAS: Ready, Set, Grow!
A Train-the-Trainer Model to Get Your Admin Team Ready for Fall
PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting
Full-day session offered on-site at your local Intermediate
Unit
Is your administrative team ready for your teachers to receive
their first PVAAS teacher specific reporting this fall 2014?
Are your LEA/district administrators and principals prepared to
respond to the most common questions about PVAAS teacher specific
reporting?
Do your principals know how to use PVAAS teacher specific
reporting to guide positive, meaningful, and productive
conversations about professional growth with teachers?
These sessions are designed to get your LEA/district ready!
Audience: Four (4) member LEA/district administrative team
(could include Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Principal,
Assistant Principal, Director of Curriculum & Instruction,
Director of Professional Development, Director of Special
Education/Pupil Services, subject area supervisor) Goal: Prepare a
leadership team to present and use PVAAS teacher specific reporting
with staff. The first half of the day will focus on training
LEA/district staff (principals and teachers), including strategies
for responding to common questions and activities that reinforce
learning about PVAAS. Participants will learn about the
supplementary resources and reference materials available for a
deeper understanding of the PVAAS methodologies. The second half of
the day will be devoted to having one-on-one conversations with
teachers about their PVAAS teacher specific reports as part of the
Educator Effectiveness System.
Location: On-site at local Intermediate Unit Date: Dates at each
IU are listed beginning on the next page Registration: 8:30 - 9:00
a.m. Session: 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. (lunch will be on your own)
Prerequisite: To gain the most benefit from this session,
participants should be familiar with the concept of how PVAAS
measures growth. To fully maximize your time in this full-day
session, we ask each participant to come prepared by viewing the
following PVAAS Virtual Learning Modules (found under the Concept
of Growth category on the PVAAS site):
Introduction to Measuring Academic Growth (13 minutes)
Connections to Value-Added Reporting (30 minutes)
Materials Needed: Participants should bring a laptop or tablet,
along with their PVAAS username, password, and PPID to access
reporting. A demo site will be available to use during the
training.
For Windows users, PVAAS site is best viewed with the latest
version of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome.
For Mac users, the PVAAS site is best viewed with the latest
version of Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. (SAS EVAAS
continues to support Firefox, Safari, and Chrome on machines
running either Windows 7 or later or any version of Mac OS X. The
supported versions of Internet Explorer are 8 or later, on machines
running Windows 7 or later.)
NOTE: Due to limitations in room availability and space, we are
limiting registration to 4 people per district/LEA. Choose team
members who can most effectively train other administrators and
teachers in your LEA/district. If all LEAs in your IU region do not
use their four (4) seats, the IU will let LEAs know about this
availability.

PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting: Professional Growth, Not
Gotcha
Half-day sessions offered on-site at your local Intermediate
Unit Audience: These sessions are designed for teachers who receive
PVAAS teacher specific reporting. LEAs/districts sending teachers
to the session are encouraged to include a district or school
administrator with their group, as questions may arise regarding
district/school practice or policy.
Description: These half-day sessions will provide teachers with
a review of the concept of growth as measured by PVAAS, and
introduce the PVAAS teacher specific reports that are a direct
result of the PVAAS Roster Verification process. Teachers will
develop a foundational understanding as to how PVAAS measures
growth for PVAAS teacher specific reporting. The session will
include a complete review of the PVAAS teacher specific value-added
report, as well as available diagnostic reporting at the teacher
specific level. Teachers will have the opportunity to review their
own PVAAS teacher specific reporting if they choose, or use a demo
site if they prefer to review their reports privately. Teachers
will have an opportunity to ask questions throughout the
session.
Materials Needed: Participants should bring a laptop or tablet,
along with their PVAAS username, password, and PPID to access
reporting. Alternately, participants may wish to bring a printed
packet of their teacher specific reports. A demo site will be
available to use during the training.

Using and Understanding PVAAS Webinar Series (Fall 2014)
These three (3) webinars are each 60-minute sessions focused on
various types of reporting available in PVAAS. Although these
sessions are designed as a series to help educators make better use
of PVAAS reporting and bridge the various reports for curricular

and use of the data for local decision-making in the context of
multiple measures. Additionally, a discussion of how the PVAAS
district and school reports can be bridged and used with PVAAS
reports at the teacher and student level will be shared.
Opportunities for questions will be provided.

with other PVAAS reports at the district, school, and student level
will be shared. Opportunities for questions will be provided.
Dates/Times: Wednesday, September 9, 2014, 1:00-2:00 p.m.

possible academic performance of students on a future state
assessment. Participants will review the web-based reporting

PVAAS Account Management Webinars Join us during these PVAAS
account management webinars for information and help preparing
accounts and access for the fall 2014 PVAAS reporting release and
spring 2015 Roster Verification. Preparing PVAAS accounts early
will save valuable time later for your teachers and administrators!
For information on how to join a live session, or to view a
recorded session, please see pages 10-11.
Account Management for Access to PVAAS District, School, Student
and/or Teacher Specific Reporting (Fall 2014)
PVAAS district, school, student, and teacher specific reporting
will be released in fall 2014. Prepare now to ensure that your LEAs
current teachers and administrators have the correct access to
PVAAS reporting. These sessions are designed to assist LEAs in
taking inventory of existing PVAAS accounts, modifying existing
accounts, and using PIMS for staff account creation. LEAs will be
provided with an understanding of the PVAAS account management
system, strategies to manage PVAAS accounts, and resource materials
to assist with account management. Time will be allotted for
questions.
Audience: These sessions are designed for lead LEA/district
administrator(s) and LEA staff responsible for PVAAS user account
management, including the submission of staff emails via the PIMS
Staff Template.
NOTE: LEAs may assign Account Management permissions to staff at
the district or school level. This permission is assigned
independent of a users assigned access to school, student, and/or
teacher specific reporting. In other words, a user may have access
to manage PVAAS accounts only, without also having access to PVAAS
reporting. Please keep this in mind when considering individuals in
your district who could provide PVAAS account management support,
but who may not need/ should not have access to PVAAS
reporting.
Dates/Times: Wednesday, August 13, 2014, 9:0010:00 a.m. Monday,
August 18, 2014, 2:003:00 p.m.
Account Management for PVAAS Roster Verification (Spring
2015)
PVAAS Roster Verification occurs in spring 2015. These sessions
are designed to help LEAs prepare in advance for the Roster
Verification process. Time spent preparing PVAAS accounts for LEA
staff for PVAAS Roster Verification will save staff time and
frustration during spring 2015 PVAAS Roster Verification. This
includes saving time for teachers, school administrators, district
administrators, and others who support the process. LEAs will be
provided with strategies to manage PVAAS accounts for Roster
Verification. Time will be allotted for questions.
Audience: These sessions are designed for lead LEA/district
administrator(s) who are overseeing implementation of PVAAS Roster
Verification in spring 2015, as well as LEA staff responsible for
PVAAS account management, including the submission of staff emails
via the PIMS Staff Template.
NOTE: LEAs may assign Roster Verifier permissions and/or Account
Management permissions at the district or school level. These
permissions are independent of a users assigned access to school,
student, and/or teacher specific reporting. Please keep this in
mind when considering individuals in your district who could
provide PVAAS account management and/or roster verification
support, but who may not need/ should not have access to PVAAS
reporting.
Dates/Times: Tuesday, January 27, 2015, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
Wednesday, January 28, 2015, 9:00-10:00 a.m. Thursday, January 29,
