Overview of Training
4
 By focusing on Common Core State Standards, data-driven
instruction (school-based inquiry), and evidence-based
observation and evaluation, we are seeking to build the
capacity of administrators and teachers to drive deep
conversations around
 what good teachers and principals do,
 what actions (inputs) drive results, and
 what is the most useful evidence of those behaviors.
Outcomes
5
 As a result of SED Summer Institute, participants will be able
to
 Implement initial phase of local training on Common Core
State Standards and Data-Driven Instruction (School Based
Inquiry)
 meet NYSED calibration requirements and assurances on
teacher and leader evaluation in order to provide highquality training regionally, district wide, and school wide.
Outcomes – Common Core State Standards
6
 Be able to create awareness of and fluency with the CCSS in
districts and schools
 Be able to collaboratively diagnose school capacity for
implementing the CCSS and create action plans to ensure initial
execution.
 Be able to introduce exemplary modules aligned to the CCSS and
unpack the qualities of a module. Use teacher videos and student
work to illustrate.
 Set expectation to develop and implement one unit of instruction (for
each teacher) aligned to the CCSS per semester
Outcomes – Data Driven Instruction
7
 Understand the value and relevance of a Data Driven Instruction
model for School Based Inquiry
 Be able to articulate and diagnose against the key drivers in the
Data Driven Instruction model
 Have an “entry” plan for professional development and support so
that schools and districts are willing and able to adopt this model
Outcomes – Teacher Leader Evaluation

Apply best practices in evidence-based observation processes
5.
Hone observation skills to focus on
o
Evidence collection
o
Alignment of evidence with standards
o
Scoring levels of practice based on evidence
5.
Establish inter-rater reliability of evaluator interpretations and judgments of leadership practice
6.
Calibrate evaluator skills in the practice of evidence-based evaluation
7.

 The sequence of training events is intended to be a model
for how regions and districts might certify their evaluators, as
well as a model to ensure sustainability.
 Once the full, research-driven scope of the calibration
process is experienced, participants are prepared to go
home and turnkey a high-quality training and calibration
process.
