Release of EVAAS Teacher Reports

In the coming weeks, SAS EVAAS will provide individual teacher value-added reports for districts that completed the opt-in process with MiDataHub and met minimum criteria for sufficient data to run teacher-level reports.

These reports provide diagnostic information and useful, reliable measures of the academic growth a teacher's students made, on average, in M-STEP Mathematics and English Language Arts for grades 4-8. The reports then provide educators with 1-4 ratings that may be combined with local district or school assessment student growth data and teacher observation tool data to determine summative educator evaluation ratings. Collectively, these reports can help educators improve instruction by identifying effective practices and targeting areas of improvement. In addition, educators can use this information to reflect on past practices and proactively plan for current or future classes.

EVAAS account holders with access to teacher reports will receive an email once the reports are available. Districts interested in receiving teacher reports that would include the 2019 state assessments to use within educator evaluations due in June of 2020 should contact the MiDataHub team ( support@midatahub.org ). Additional information about EVAAS is available on the EVAAS login page for Michigan ( https://mi.sas.com/ ) .

MI College Access Network Conference

MiDataHub EWIMS Presentation:

Evidence-Based System to Keep Students in School

March 4th, 2019 3:00PM -4:00PM

Evidence-Based System to Keep Students in School

The Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS) is an evidence-based, data-driven, decision-making process that helps educators:

Systematically identify students who are showing signs that they are at risk of dropping out;
Examine the underlying causes of risk and match students’ needs to interventions; and
Monitor students’ progress and the success of those interventions.

The Michigan Department of Education, the Great Lakes Comprehensive Center, and the Michigan Data Hub have partnered to develop training resources and tools to support local education agencies to implement the EWIMS process. Participants will learn about the System's seven step process designed to identify and support students.

Speakers: Bersheril Bailey , Shawn Cannarile , Tom Johnson , Gregg Dionne
