Media Specialists Deans Guidance Counselors Psychologists Social Workers Compliance Specialists (ESOL & ESE) Athletic Directors Academic Coaches/Resource Specialists

3. Today’s Objectives: Participants will examine the basic components of the classroom teacher evaluation. Participants will leave with a working knowledge of some changes associated with the evaluation: Deliberate Practice High Yield Strategies Student Growth Criteria Best Practices for success

4. New Key Terms: High Yield Strategies: 14 identified elements found in Domain 1 of the Marzano Evaluation Model: Nine elements embedded in the Marzano Evaluation Model that research correlates with a high probability for student achievement. Seven elements embedded in the Marzano Evaluation Model that are correlated with successful implementation of the Common Core State Standards. Deliberate Practice: Chosen element, based on previous school year data, that is deliberately focused on for the current school year, and given a score based on the ‘growth’ in the implementation of element.

5. Evaluation- for Classroom Teachers

7. Domains 1-4High impact instructional strategies and professional practices80% Deliberate Practice Based on past years data, a selected element deliberately practiced for growth on that element. 20%

8. Domain 1 • Formal • Informal • Walk Through • Domain 2 • Review of Evidence • Domain 3 • Review of Evidence • Domain 4 • Review of Evidence Domain 1-4 Observations Observation:  Event when instructional practices are observed (domain 1) or evidences are reviewed ( domain 2-4)

9. Domain 1 Observations Domain 2 Observationsthat count towards the Final Evaluation Domain 3 Domains 1-4 Domain 4

10. Classroom Strategies and Behaviors Planning and Preparing Reflecting on Teaching Collegiality and Professionalism 60 Thin slices of research based instructional strategies/professional practices that have a high impact on student achievement.

11. 41 Elements • 1-2 Teacher Selected • 1 selected for Deliberate Practice Domain 1 • 1 Steering Committee • Administratively Assigned 41 Thin slices of research based instructional strategies that have a high impact on student achievement.

12. Must have pre-conference and post conference (face to face or via the evaluation website) • Must be pre-scheduled/announced • 25 minutes- entire class period • Data points shall count towards Final Evaluation. • Only those elements that were identified during pre-conference which may include: • Teacher selected element • Deliberate Practice element • Steering Committee Selected Element • Administratively assigned element • No more then two of the High Yield Strategies (found on page 36 of the Instructional Employees Evaluation Handbook) Domain 1 Formal Observations

13. High Yield Instructional Strategies

14. Any of the 41 elements may be scored upon • Only instructional strategies that apply at time of observation • elements for which the teacher provides substantial behavioral evidence, OR • elements which are more appropriate for the lesson but were not observed • Unannounced • 10-20 minutes • Data points may count towards Final Evaluation. • Informal observations may serve as feedback only. Domain 1 Informal Observations

15. Does not count towards final evaluation. • Feedback can be provided on any of the 41 elements. • Only instructional strategies that apply at time of observation • Unannounced • 3-5 minutes Domain 1 Walk Through Observations

17. Data points may count towards Final Evaluation. • Additional Observational Sessions may serve as feedback only. • It is NOT compliance of lesson plan completion. • It’s ‘How’ you plan for your Lessons & Units of Instruction using best practices. • It is ‘Why’ you focus on certain strategies based on data and student performance. Domain 2 Observational Session: Planning & Preparing

18. Data points may count towards Final Evaluation. • Additional Observational Sessions may serve as feedback only. • It is NOT compliance of IPDP/Deliberate Practice completion. • It is a reflection of implementation and process of the following: • IPDP/ Deliberate Practice • Lesson Planning and/or • Identification of pedagogical strengths and weakness • And how this reflection is being utilized to • Improve instructional practice • Influence how you plan for lessons and units of instruction.

20. First year of implementation (2013-14 school year) instructors will be held harmless (no growth=no penalty) • Based on previous year’s scored elements from formal, informal and walk through observations • Value calculated from growth of former year’s average score of element and current year’s average score of element. • Counts 20% of the Instructional Practice Score of the Final Evaluation • May be the same element as the ‘Teacher Selected Element” • But must have previous year’s data to serve as both.
