Student Surveys (optional)

  11. Modification 3 • Revise Process Manuals and forms to correlate with modifications

  12. ARTIFACTS

  13. Focus Group Feedback • Administrators do not see the need for additional artifacts. Items such as lesson plans, parent communication logs, discipline referrals, etc., are already provided. There is no need to provide additional items.

  14. Artifact Review Process • Artifacts are evidence of a teacher’s practice in Domains 1, 2, and 5. • The process should not be overly burdensome to teachers or evaluators. • Teachers should not create artifacts specifically for this artifact review.

  15. Modification 4 • Tightening the language of the rubric

  16. M-STAR Rubric Overview • Five domains (weighted equally) • Planning (4 standards) • Assessment (2 standards) • Instruction (5 standards) • Learning Environment (5 standards) • Professional Responsibilities (4 standards) • 20 standards (placed among the 5 domains)

  17. Domain III: Instruction Domain Standard Indicators

  18. RevisedStandard 8

  19. What do best practices look like? • Don’t get lost in what the standards are saying. . . • Instead, focus on whatbehaviors will be seen whenan effective teacher andhis/her students are observed.

  20. Standard 8: Actively engages students in the learning process Teachers will be: Using a variety of teaching strategies and resources Teaching appropriate for skill levels and different learning styles Linking content with student interests Probing and incorporating students’ questions Grasping and holding students’ attention Using a wide range of learning skills and technology to enhance learning Within close proximity to students Exhibiting excitement and interest in lesson and students Leading a student-centered classroom Can you think of other evidence of engaging students in learning?

  21. Standard 8: Actively engages students in the learning process Students will be: • Asking and answering questions that reflect applicable understanding of content • Responding to formative assessments • Using technology to access, interpret, and apply information • Demonstrating interest in lesson/activity • Learning on their level; engaged • What else will they be doing if they are truly engaged?

  22. Example: Summative Observation Rating • (2.75 + 4 + 2.5 + 3.5 + 2.5) • 5

  23. Educator Evaluations Mobile Application • One process tool across Desktop, Laptop, iPad, and mobile phone • Easy-to-use interface • Quick reference tools and forms • Will eventually be available to use with all educator evaluations (teachers, principals, counselors, speech-language pathologist, etc.)
