Learning Gains
Orientation
Instructional Silos
• The goal of developing Instructional
Silos is to place teachers in subgroups of similar teaching
assignments as equitably and as
fairly as possible.
• For example, World History teachers will
be grouped with other World History
teachers and not with Language Arts
teachers.
Instructional Silos
• Due to the new district assessment process,
teacher silos will be updated this year to reflect
current teaching assignments and district
assessment categories.
• “School-Wide Silos” will continue to be used for
instructional personnel without students directly
scheduled (Guidance Counselor, Media Spec, etc.)
• Semester 2 student schedules will be utilized
when developing district instructional silos
• Silo development will include consideration of the
teacher assignment within the district
Instructional Silos – cont.
• Instructional personnel will be divided into grade
levels: Elementary, Middle, High School
• Once divided into grade levels, teachers will be
sub-divided into instructional groups (silos) based
on their primary teaching assignment
• Prior to the end of the 3rd quarter, Principals and
teachers may meet to confirm and/or reconcile silo
assignments
We appreciate everyone’s effort in making this
process work as well as possible.
Learning Gains
Plan Policies:
• Learning gains will make up 75% of final score.
• FCAT scores will be used where applicable (grades/
subjects tested by FCAT)
• SAT-10 scores will be used where applicable
(grades K-2)
• Courses/areas not related to FCAT/SAT-10 subjects
or grade levels, will utilize District Pre/Post Tests
Learning Gains
Plan Policies (continued):
• Gains for teachers without students assigned will be based on
school-wide FCAT scores.
• Students assigned to teachers at Survey 3 time (February) will
be included.
• Only students enrolled in the same school in October and
February will be included.
• Only students with both pre and post-test scores will be
included.
Learning Gains
Gains Calculation:
Step 1: Achievement level of students on pre
and post-test is determined.
Step 2: Total points for each teacher are
determined by placing student scores in a
value table.
