Evaluating: Professional Development and New Teacher and Mentor Feedback Induction Coordinators’ Quarterly Meeting October 2, 2012
Evaluating Professional Development • Directions: • At your table generate 12-15 questions often found on professional development feedback surveys. • Place each question on a separate post it. • Read A Conversation with Thomas Guskey using a Final Word strategy.
Final Word Dialogue Highlight 2-3 phrases or sentences that resonate with you. Pick one then write it on a post it note. On the back of the post it, write the reason why that phrase/sentence resonated with you. Person A states the phrase /sentence but does not comment on it. In round-robin order, other group members comment on the selected item (without cross talk). The originating person gets the final word by emphasizing why this resonated with him/her. Repeat the process
Where do your questions fit? • Divide the questions you generated into the 5 levels that Guskey describes. • Take the questions to the different flip charts and post. • Look at the data . • Discuss your assumptions/conclusions at your table. • Report out findings.
