Today’s Goal and Objectives

Learning Goal:

Participants will understand

how the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model supports teacher growth through feedback Participants will: 1.

2.

3.

4.

Understand the common language and organization of the Marzano Framework and how it serves to support growth and teacher expertise.

Recognize those strategies within the Marzano Model that are already a part of their current instructional practice.

Apply the Model to a sample lesson.

Learn about the elements of the district’s APPR plan.

Why Shift from Danielson to Marzano?

Dr. Marzano In His Own Words…

What is the relationship between effective teaching and student achievement?

Teacher Expertise

There is an expectation that all teachers can increase their expertise from year to year, which, in turn, produces gains in student achievement from year to year with a powerful cumulative effect.

Recognition of progress Common Language of Instruction

Teacher Expertise

Clear Criteria for Success and Plan for Success Focused Feedback and Deliberate Practice Opportunity to Observe and Discuss Teaching and Learning

Marzano Causal Model

When these strategies are used, here is the typical effect on raising student achievement (percentile gain corrected):

District-wide Goal: Design Question 1

What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals, track student progress & celebrate success?

• #1: Provide clear learning goals and scales (rubrics) • #2: Tracking student progress • #3: Celebrating success How are these elements part of your current practice as a classroom teacher/specialist?

Digging into Design Question 1

Element #2: Tracking student progress

The teacher facilitates tracking of student progress on one or more learning goals using a formative approach to assessment.

What are three ways you track student progress in your classroom?

Navigating the Protocol

2. Tracking student progress

The teacher facilitates tracking of student progress on one or more learning goals using a formative approach to assessment.

Teacher Evidence:  Teacher helps student track their individual progress on the learning goal  Teacher uses formal and informal means to assign scores to students on the scale or rubric  depicting student status on the learning goal Teacher charts the progress of the entire class on the learning goal Student Evidence:  When asked, students can describe their status relative to the learning goal using the scale or  rubric Students systematically update their status on the learning goal What else do you see the teacher do?

What else do you see the students do?

Classroom Visit

Navigating the Protocol

Scale Not Using

Strategy was called for but not exhibited.

Beginning

Uses strategy incorrectly or with parts missing.

Developing Applying

Facilitates tracking of student progress using a formative approach to assessment, but Facilitates tracking of student progress using a formative approach to assessment and the majority of students are not monitors for evidence of the monitored for the desired effect extent to which the majority of of the strategy.

students understand their level of performance.

Innovating

Adapts and creates new strategies for unique student needs and situations in order for the desired effect to be evident in all students.

Reflection Questions Not Using

How can you begin to incorporate some aspects of this strategy into your instruction?

Beginning

How can you facilitate tracking of student progress using a formative approach to assessment?

Developing

In addition to facilitating tracking of student progress using a formative approach to assessment, how can you monitor the extent to which students understand their level of performance?

Applying

How might you adapt and create new strategies for facilitating tracking of student progress using a formative approach to assessment, that address unique student needs and situations?

Innovating

What are you learning about your students as you adapt and create new strategies?

Teacher Observation & Evaluation

Some Big Ideas to Remember

•

We engage in sustained, reflective dialogue about instruction with supervisors and colleagues to continuously improve our practice

•

Think of the observation/evaluation process as one-on-one professional development

•

Remain open to constructive feedback

•

Seek progress, not perfection!

Features of Harrison’s APPR Plan

APPR PLAN

 Teachers will participate with principals, directors/supervisors in goal setting meetings to be held at opening conferences: • Goal #1-District-slected: DQ1 • Goal #2-Developed by principal/supervisor • Goal #3-Chosen by teacher  Goals are based on Design Questions or Element Clusters (not individual elements of practice)

Classroom Observations

TENURED TEACHERS

   2 Observations 1 announced long form 1 unannounced; can be either long form or short form

PROBATIONARY TEACHERS

   4 Observations 2 announced & 2 unannounced All are long form, but 1 can be replaced by 3 short form observations

Long & Short Form Observations

Long Form Observations:  Full class period  More data points/feedback provided  Pre and post observation conferences occur Short Form Observations:  Minimum of 10 minutes in duration  Fewer data points/feedback provided  Post observation at the request of teacher or observer

Observations Continued…

 Post observation conferences for long-forms will occur within 5 school days of observation.

 Observation report will be provided to teachers within 5 school days of post.

 Subsequent observations will only occur after 5 school days have passed since the teacher received feedback from the last long form observation.

Beginning-of-Year Conferences

Reflective Questions

•

Which design question or element cluster do I plan to target for professional growth this year?

•

What do I anticipate will be challenging for me in the year ahead?

•

How can my supervisor and colleagues support my professional growth?
