ART & SCIENCE OF TEACHING
LEADERSHIP TEAM
“Saying we believe all kids can
learn is a pleasant affirmation, but it
is only when teachers can articulate
exactly what each student is
expected to know and be able to do
that the “Learning for All” mission
becomes possible”. Rick Dufour…2004
DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN:
1.3.1 Collaboratively develop a
definition of effective instruction
that is research-based, and
which defines rigor, relevance,
engagement and relationships;
monitor these elements through
professional development,
coaching and appraisal.
What do we value?

Successful implementation
could have what results for
our district? Our students?
*INCREASE STUDENT LEARNING
*FEWER DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS
*ALIGNMENT
*WE TEACH BETTER –
STUDENTS LEARN MORE
What concerns/potential
stumbling blocks should we
plan for?
*WHAT’S GOING TO MAKE THIS
DIFFERENT?
*TIME? - DON’T OVERWHELM
*APPRAISALS/EVALUATIONS
ARE NOT TIED TO A&S
How can we address concerns?
*NON-NEGOTIABLE
*DIFFERENTIATION - OPTIONS
*NEW TEACHER INSTITUTE & PD
in SMALLER “CHUNKS”
*ALIGNMENT OF ELEMENTS COMMON UNDERSTANDING and
VOCAB
*DEVELOP WALK THROUGH
Each student achieves the skills to live and work in the 21st Century, and to reach
their full academic and personal potential District Initiatives:

10. What will I do to develop effective lessons organized into a cohesive unit?
9. What will I do to communicate high expectations for all students?
8. What will I do to establish and maintain effective relationships with students?
7. What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence and lack of adherence to classroom rules and procedures?
6. What will I do to establish or maintain classroom rules and procedures?
5. What will I do to engage students?
4. What will I do to help students generate and test hypotheses about new knowledge?
3. What will I do to help students practice and deepen their understanding of new knowledge?
2. What will I do to help students effectively interact with new knowledge?
1. What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals, track student progress, and celebrate success?
Strategic Plan: Align all elements in the instructional
system to build the capacity to produce quality results
The Art & Science of Teaching is
designed as a comprehensive
framework that puts together
other works into a unified
whole.

At the level of teacher planning…….
The Art & Science of Teaching involves
10 “design questions”
teachers ask of themselves
as they plan
a unit of instruction.

Moving up the J-curve of our own learning:
• See the NEED to get smarter about teaching for learning
WANT to get smarter about teaching for learning
• WE control the extent that we get smarter about
teaching for learning
Expanding our teaching to reflect the
continuous flow of new learning research:
More comfortable with ambiguity – CREATIVE TENSION
•Think critically – PROBLEM-RESOLVERS
REFLECT on teaching-marry PAST with best NEW practice

PD Modules on USD 308 website:
Art and Science of Teaching Modules
These are the formalized versions of
the professional development sessions
from ALT during the 2010-11 and
2011-12 school years. The lessons are
made available here for anyone who
wishes to use them.
PD Modules on USD 308 website:
Unit 1: Overview of Art and
Science of Teaching and Learning
Goals (DQ 1)
Unit 2: Content Specific Segments
(DQ 2, 3, 4)
Unit 3: Lesson Segments Executed
on the Spot (DQ 5-9)
Additional Resources
*Attendance at Marzano
workshops/conferences
*Multiple PD opportunities
in each building
*A&S Book Studies in most
(if not all) buildings
A&S Walk Through Tool:
Many teachers have had the
opportunity to have DQ
feedback during the pilot of our
district A&S Walk Through Tool.
This will GROW as we include
more teachers and further improve
and develop the process!
Read and Respond:
“A&S of Teaching (Marzano) cites a
meta-analysis making case for having
a clear learning goal, chunking
instruction, and gathering feedback on
student learning. Marzano says these
deserve to be the “routine components
of every lesson” but “teachers tend not
to design and implement”. The payoff
isn’t in knowing these components – it
comes from actually doing them.”
Schmoker Pg. 59 “FOCUS”
Next Steps:
*On-going PD
*Collaborative Walk
Throughs for all Teachers
*Peer Observation and
Feedback
*All teachers understand/
use 10 DQ as appropriate

Today’s Goals:
1. Build upon our learning by
further exploring DQ 5-9
2. Work with your A&S Building
Team to:
*Determine your building’s
learning needs
*Plan next year’s A&S building PD
*Gather resources
