Applying Weighted Scoring Using the Custom TIA Export

Districts can apply a customized weighted scoring system to an evaluation process template. Strive splits the default scoring system into 50 percent Appraisee Data and 50 percent Student Growth for the Legacy TIA Export. However, districts can set up weighted scoring to an Observation or Summative document and merge additional data by running the Custom TIA Export. 

Weighted scoring allows districts to split the default scoring system further using an Other category. For example, you might want greater scoring weight placed on Appraisee Data, less weight on Student Growth, and some weight placed on Other. Your weighted scoring could look like the following formula:

• 60% Appraisee Data + 20% Student Growth + 20% Other = Final Teacher Performance Score

The Other category gives districts greater flexibility to measure teacher performance using additional sources outside of Eduphoria, such as external walkthroughs, surveys, validated assessments, and more. 

Setting Custom Weighted Scores for the Evaluation Process

Users will first complete a series of steps to customize their weighted scores. These settings will then apply when you run the Custom TIA Export.

Step 1: Select the Appraisal Settings gear.

Step 2: Under Configuration Options, select Appraisee Types.

Step 3: Select the Appraisee Type you want to configure from the list.

Step 4: Verify that your Appraisee Type Options are set up correctly, including frameworks, steps, and tasks for evaluation process templates, due dates, and dimensions.

Step 5: Select the Scoring tab.

Step 6: Select an Observation or Summative document with appraisal data to include in your report.

Step 7: Set the scoring weight for each of the following components:

• Appraisee Data refers to the Observation or Summative document you selected.
• Student Growth refers to the data collected in the Student Growth Management section in Strive.
• Other refers to data your district collects outside of Eduphoria.

Your custom scoring must equal 100% for the Final Teacher Performance Score. Once this requirement is met, scoring weights save automatically.

You can merge the Other data into the downloaded spreadsheet you create when running the Custom TIA Export.

Running the Custom TIA Export With Weighted Scoring

Running the Custom TIA Export is the last step users complete to weigh components of the Evaluation Process.

Step 1: Select Analysis and Reports to view Appraisal Reports.

Step 2: Select Custom TIA Export.

Step 3: Set the Instructional Calendar and the Appraisee Type. Here, you can also see the customized weighted scoring formula and the appraisee document you configured in the first set of steps.

Users who select an Appraisee Type that is not configured for custom weighted scoring must contact their administrator to complete the setup. Otherwise, select Download Report.

Step 4: Copy and paste or merge your data from additional external sources into the blank column for Other in the Custom TIA report. The spreadsheet calculates that data based on the percentage you previously established for the Other column and awards you a Final Teacher Performance Score. This score is not official until data is validated during the submission process.
