Three evaluation conferences between the support professional and the evaluator (Beginning, Middle, and End-of-Year)

Professional Growth Goals

At least one written at the beginning of the year

Professional Practice and Responsibilities

A minimum of three observations One announced, two unannounced Evidence may also be collected in day-to-day interactions Written feedback required at least three times over course of

the year Student Outcome/ Learning Objectives

Use decision tree to select appropriate combination of Student Learning Objectives and/or Student Outcome Objectives

At least two per support professional (no more than four)Rhode Island Growth Model

Included for Contributing Educators only

Final Effectiveness Rating

Final Effectiveness Ratings will be used as part of the certification renewal process.

Teacher Model

Support Professional

Model

When is the Teacher Model used instead of the SP Model?

Best used when the primary role of the support professional is classroom instruction. Often a reading specialist or librarian’s day mirrors a classroom teachers.

Used for all support professionals whose primary role is not classroom instruction. Some support professionals may teach but it is a small portion of their role.

Observations and Gathering Evidence

19

Collecting Evidence

• Take one Professional Practice Component card from the center of the table.

• Take your packet, your card and something to write with.

• Locate your group by the color of your card.

• Find a location to either stand or sit for the next 8 minutes.

• As a group, read through your component card. What are the indicators of this component?

• Think about the 7 specific support professional roles.• Where could you observe this

component?• What artifacts could be used?

• Be prepared to share a brief summary of your component and 1-2 examples you brainstormed.

20

What conversations might be important to have during the Beginning-of-Year Conference to plan for observations and evidence collection?

21

Discussion Topics to Prepare for Observations

Discuss the support professional’s schedule

Identify suggested times/settings for in-person observation of practice

Discuss how to handle confidential situations/settings

Identify possible artifacts that will also be used to evidence professional practice

SLOS AND SOOS

FOR SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS

23

Should the Support Professional I am Evaluating Write SLOs or SOOs?

24

Why is the Language Different Between the SOO and SLO Quality Review Tool?

SLO SOO

Priority of Content

• knowledge or skills

• capturing the major content of instructional period

• curriculum-based explanation

• increase access to learning

• capturing critical aspects of the support professional’s role

Rigor of Target • baseline knowledge

• related data

Quality of Evidence

• includes process for safeguards to ensure consistent scoring

• includes strategies

DOCUMENTING AND FEEDBACK

70

Why are we talking about data, resources, and professional learning?

An educator’s effectiveness is the most important factor for schools in improving student achievement.

71

Effective Professional

Learning

Increasing the effectiveness of professional learning is the

leverage point with the greatest potential for

strengthening and refining the day-to-day performance of

educators.

What Is Effective Professional Learning?

Ongoing, Embedded, and Differentiated

73

What Is Effective Professional Learning?

• Aligning professional learning activities with data analysis, goal setting, implementation strategies, and monitoring and evaluating improvement can be highly beneficial to administrators, teachers, and students.

• Connecting content to practice: sustained, and content-focused professional development is more effective.

• Align professional learning with the needs of educators.

• To support educators, professional learning must simultaneously cultivate deep content knowledge and build understanding of effective instruction.

74

What Is Effective Professional Learning?

• Research has shown that teachers report greater changes in their instructional practice as a result of professional learning activities that involve their active participation and engagement with the work of their peers.

75

What Is Effective Professional Learning?

• Collaborative professional learning involves teachers working together to improve teaching and learning.

• Collaborative professional learning engages teachers in teams that work together on a shared learning outcome to learn from and share with each other.

76

Activity #3 Revisited

Using the generated list of professional learning activities,

identify whether the activities are one of the following:

Focused (on content and on teaching the content)

Active

Collaborative

Bonus: Draw a circle around activities that are differentiated;

underline any activity that is ongoing throughout the year; and

star any activity that is job embedded.

77

What Does Effective Professional Learning Look Like in Practice?

1. Aligned with school goals, state and district standards and assessments, and other professional learning activities including formative teacher evaluation.

2. Data-driven, focused, and specific to educator strengths and needs.

3. Focused on core content and modeling of teaching strategies for the content.

4. Includes opportunities for active learning of new teaching strategies.

5. Provides opportunities for collaboration among teachers.

6. Includes embedded follow-up and continuous feedback.

Effective Professional Learning is:

78

One of the most important goals of every professional learning opportunity should be for all teachers to walk out more excited about teaching and more effective tomorrow than they were today. How do we get there?
