  1. EXAMINING STUDENT WORK Emmaus High School Act 80 Afternoon, 5/6/11

  2. What Are Protocols? • A set of agreed-upon guidelines for a structured conversation • This structure permits a certain kind of conversation to occur • A protocol is a vehicle for building the skills and culture necessary for collaborative work -Information for this presentation is from the Looking at Student Work (lasw.org)

  3. Why Use a Protocol? • Structure makes it safe to ask challenging questions of each other • Gives others a license to listen without having to continuously respond • Helps make the most of limited collaborative time • The point is not necessarily to do the protocol perfectly, but to have an in-depth, insightful conversation about teaching and learning

  4. What should it look like? • A small group of teachers gather in a circle • Those teachers who are sharing have brought samples of student work and take turns presenting • Facilitator participant gets the discussion going and ensures that protocol is followed • Lasts from 45 minutes to an hour and a half

  5. What will we do on Friday? • Sign in with your department chair and indicate where you will be meeting with your PBL group • Bring the rubric you created together, your assignment sheet and samples of student work. The samples should represent work on which you want feedback. • Bring at least one question you want the group to consider when looking at your work. • Meet and follow the protocol • Complete reflection/feedback sheet as a group

  6. Examples of work and questions: • Two samples of average work – “Do these pieces demonstrate sufficient analysis? How could they be improved?” • Two samples of poor work – “I know these students tried their best. What seems to be missing from their thought process based on the samples? • Two samples of exemplary work – “These students earned A’s on the rubric, but I’d like future students to go even further. Thoughts on how I might do that?”

  7. Which Protocol Will We Use? • Tuning protocol, developed by Joseph McDonald and David Allen • Consists of an introduction, presentation, clarifying questions, examination of work samples, pause to reflect, provide warm and cool feedback -Information for this presentation is from the Looking at Student Work (lasw.org)

  8. Where can we get materials? • All materials will be uploaded by Wednesday on the EHS PBL Website: http://www.eastpennsd.org/teacherpages/EHSPBL/ -Information for this presentation is from the Looking at Student Work (lasw.org)
