  5. DP is not a Marzano concept! • David Shenk (2010) • Geoff Colvin (2008)

  6. Gladwell on DP • Malcolm Gladwell (2011): “Success has to do with deliberate practice. Practice must be focused, determined, and in an environment where there's feedback.”

  7. Causal Chain An expectation that all teachers can increase their expertise from year to year, which produces gains in student achievement from year to year-- with a powerful cumulative effect

  8. Marzano Instructional System • Domain 1 = Classroom Strategies • Domain 2 = Planning • Domain 3 = Reflection • Domain 4 = Collegiality

  9. Six Step Process Graphic from Learning Sciences International

  10. Step One: Self Assessment iObservation Private to employee

  11. Step Two: Identify Focus Strategies • Employee reviews self-assessment and last year’s observation/walkthrough data • Employee chooses 1, 2, or 3 strategies for DP • *Subject to principal approval • Select baseline score • Old indicator: Evaluation rating • New indicator: Self-assessment

  12. Step Three: Create Measurable Goals • One goal per strategy • Goal’s focus is teacher improvement • Impact of teacher improvement on student performance • One goal must use measurable student outcomes • Formative or summative data

  13. Section Four: Actions in the Classroom • Classroom action steps • Evidences • Self-reflection • Resources • Time • Materials • PLC • Mentors & peers • PD

  14. Step Five: Reflection • One reflection per quarter per goal • Guiding questions • Allocate time for this activity

  15. Step Six: Tracking Progress • Growth shown in iObservation • Improvement rewarded in scoring system • Celebrate successes on your campus!

  16. Evaluation Impact • Improve ratings in Domain 1 • Credit for growth in DP score • Improve ratings in Domains 2-4

  17. How DP is Scored Scoring rules are tentative & subject to approval by DOE.

  18. DP Score Impact for 2012-13 • Instructional Practice = 50% • Deliberate Practice = 10% • Student Learning Growth = 40% Pending DOE approval Could be adjusted in future years
