Education Service Agency Program: Supervising and Supporting

1. Education Service Agency Program:Supervising and Supporting Effective Teaching in Every Classroom Presented by:Dr. Robert Marzano, CEO, Marzano Research LaboratoryMichael Toth, CEO, Learning Sciences International, provider of iObservation

2. Program Overview • Dr. Robert Marzano’s Art and Science of Teaching Observation and Feedback Protocol powered by iObservation • Dr. Marzano’s Leaders of Learning Program • Aligned teacher professional development • Additional services for participating ESAs

3. Marzano Art & Science of Teaching Observation and Feedback Protocol • Identifies 41 research-based strategies for effective teaching • Establishes common language/model of instruction • Provides data to support and monitor implementation of strategies in the classroom • Connects teacher growth to student achievement • Flexible to allow districts to adapt and adopt the model to reflect local needs and priorities yet retain the Common Language

4. Why is a Common Language/Model of Instruction Critical? • Region-wide definition of Effective Teaching so every leader and every teacher knows what effective teaching looks and sounds like • Inter-rater reliability for supervisors, teacher leaders, coaches, and teachers • Ability to provide professional development aligned to the Common Language/Model of Instruction and measure progress in improving teacher practice • Consistency for data collection to measure progress across classrooms, schools and districts

5. A System of Feedback

6. Does use of research-based strategies always improve student learning?

7. When used inappropriately, they can actually depress student learning.

8. Typical bell curve of student results from teachers using a research-based strategy Decreased Student Achievement Increased Student Achievement ES=0

9. Dr. Robert Marzano’s Art and Science of Teaching Observation and Feedback Protocol on iObservation is the only system that identifies research-based strategies: • In the part (segment) or type of lesson that is appropriate for the strategy • At the appropriate level of implementation

12. ESA Program • Support member districts in building common language/model of instruction • Become a Data Hub in order to better support your districts • Bring an instructional improvement system to members that aligns with Race to the Top initiative • Receive support and consultation services from LSI • No cost to ESA for services provided • Generate additional revenues and additional programs

13. Districts Participate in: • Dr. Marzano’s Art and Science of Teaching Observation and Feedback Protocol powered by iObservation • Dr. Marzano’s Leaders of Learning Program for instructional leaders and teacher leaders • Aligned teacher professional development

14. Dr. Marzano’s Leaders of Learning Program • Six sessions spanning one or more years • Marzano Art & Science of Teaching Observation and Feedback Protocol • Inter-rater reliability for observers • Constructing effective feedback • Analyzing data on teachers’ practice for trends and patterns • Using data to inform collegial conversations and inform PLCs • Connecting teacher practice to student achievement

15. Leaders of Learning Program: LSI Support Services & Data Inquiry Cycle • Check-in between every session • Understanding iObservation data to identify trends and patterns • Recommendations for follow-up and support • Review of progress to goal against plan • Using individual district data to prepare for the next session

16. Districts that have 25 or more instructional leaders may have LSI-provided district-based sessions • Smaller districts or districts phasing in the system may send instructional leaders to ESA for cross-district cohorts. LSI will provide the same levels of services to each district. • Sustainability as districts experience turnover they may send new principals to ESA to participate in cross-district cohorts. • Instructional leaders wanting to participate in the Program but not yet implementing may participate through the ESA Leaders of Learning Options:

17. For instructional leaders implementing iObservation with Dr. Marzano’s Protocol for six sessions, materials, and support services: $2,800 • For instructional leaders not yet implementing including six sessions, materials, temporary iObservation license and support services: $3,000 • Revenue share to ESA for each cross-district cohort: • $4800 for 6 sessions with cohort of 20 participants (minimum) • $6000 for 6 sessions with cohort of 30 participants • $7800 for 6 sessions with cohort of 35 participants (maximum) Leaders of Learning Tuition Including Services:

18. Deep content designed by Dr. Robert Marzano with a graduate credit option • Districts may have LSI-provided district-based sessions or send teachers to cross-district sessions at the ESA • Smaller districts or districts phasing in the system may send teachers to the ESA for cross-district cohorts. • Sustainability as districts experience turnover they may send new teachers to ESA to participate in cross-district cohorts. • Teachers wanting to participate in the sessions but not yet implementing may participate through the ESA Teacher Professional Development:

19. Teacher Professional Development: • Offered by LSI faculty or by certified staff developers • $4,500 per session plus materials • Graduate credit is optional • ESA may offer sessions at a per seat fee and use the difference to support its programs and services

20. ESA as Data Hub (no charge) • iObservation licenses for ESA to access data • Receive consultation prior to every session to understand iObservation data of member districts • Identify trends and patterns across districts • Discover improvement needs of member districts • Tailor services and supports to member districts

21. Next Steps • Schedule webinar or in-person presentation for district superintendents to gauge interest • Schedule planning session with key leaders from interested districts • Execute LSI-ESA agreement
