Board hears annual Q‑Comp update on teacher leadership, coaching and professional learning
Summary
District leaders reported on the Quality Compensation (Q‑Comp) program, describing teacher leader positions, job‑embedded professional learning, evaluation practices and the district’s use of Proserva for license renewal tracking.
Administrators gave the board an annual update on the district’s participation in Quality Compensation (Q‑Comp), the teacher leadership and professional learning program the district uses to support instructional improvement.
Dr. O'Brien (Q‑Comp lead) described the program’s four components: teacher leader positions, job‑embedded professional learning (weekly professional learning communities), teacher learning and evaluation, and building‑level learning and equity teams. He said the district expanded its use of Proserva this year to better track clock hours and license renewal for teachers and reported that “all of our tier 3 and 4 teachers have successfully used Proserva for a very seamless renewal process.”
The report quantified activity for the year: thousands of points of feedback, more than 1,500 teacher conferences between coaches and educators, and ongoing calibration of student work and teacher leader development. The board received the report as informational and approved the annual Q‑Comp memorandum of understanding as an action item later in the meeting.
