OPES - Ohio Principal Evaluation System (Revised 2011)

The OPES is a research-based model for the evaluation of school principals which is aligned with the Ohio Standards for Principals and ISLLC, National and State legislation, current evidence and new findings on effective leadership, and research linking leadership to student achievement and learning. The one-day training builds on what we know about the importance of ongoing assessment and is comprised of three components: (1) A Professional Growth and Development Plan; (2) A system of Formative Assessment and Coaching; (3) A Summative Evaluation Scoring System. The presenters are certificated (September 6-7, 2011) by ODE/BASA to serve as evaluators of OPES.

1-hour Collaboration Concept

The 1-hour Collaboration Concept is a job-embedded, self-directed, student-driven approach to professional development. The concept is designed to build Professional Learning Communities, in which educators continuously strive to increase student learning and enhance classroom instruction. The concept will allow professionals to deepen their knowledge and understanding of what is taught, reflect on their practice, sharpen their skills, and share their experience with colleagues. The professional development offering will lay the groundwork for the discussion, development, and implementation of a PLC. It will center around three important elements: (1) Focus on Learning; (2) Collaborative Culture; (3) Results-Oriented Thinking.

Building Administrative Leadership Capacity

Building Administrative Leadership Capacity is an ongoing, job-embedded professional development program collaboratively developed each year by the district leadership team and the ESC professional development staff. The program content is district data-driven and varies from year-to-year. This training provides examples of program content and explains how the ESC staff facilitates the professional development activity.

Curriculum Mapping

This professional development event will lay the groundwork for developing and implementing curriculum maps. The training will focus on three phases: (1) Creating the Tools; (2) Analyzing / Using the Curriculum Maps; (3) Assessment System.

The goals will be: ~ To gain information of what and when content is being taught ~ To identify gaps ~ To identify repetitions ~ To match assessments with standards ~ To review timelines

Aspiring Administrators’ Program

The Aspiring Administrators’ Program is designed to provide and support a relationship that emphasizes a “holistic approach” to adult learning and encourages new and aspiring building administrators to grow professionally as well as personally to provide a quality education for all students. The program will help new and aspiring building administrators experience professional success and personal satisfaction through the development of an honest and open mentor/mentee relationship built around work supporting the five Ohio Standards for Principals and the ISLLC Standards.

The goals of the program: ~ Participants will acquire enhanced confidence and competence as educational leaders and

districts will be able to build a “pool” of potential administrators ~ Professional growth and development will be individualized and flexible to support

the learning and needs of each participant ~ Highly-qualified and effective principals will find greater professional satisfaction

leading to retention ~ Participants will develop enhanced networks and professional relationships

“GERD” – Gifted, Enrichment, Response to Intelligence (Intervention) and Differentiated Instruction

Do you need gifted, enrichment, response to intelligence (intervention) or differentiated instruction ideas to enhance your 21st century agendas? This one-day professional development seminar can be customized to your needs in one area, or the overall presentation (GERD) can address all four areas.

Participants will learn definitions and usefulness and become familiar with materials, projects, and ideas that can be readily adapted for individual needs of their advanced students.

Building Rigorous Lessons with Bloom’s Classroom teachers responsible for students eligible to take state assessments (OAA/OGT) need this tool to plan and design lesson plans to match Revised Academic Content Standards performance indicators with the six levels of rigor identified as Bloom’s Taxonomy. An analysis of each state tested grade level and content area is available for teachers’ use in completing this process. Formative Instruction/Assessments Use of short-cycle, ongoing evaluations to diagnose student needs, plan next steps in the instructional process, provide students with immediate feedback to inform their instruction and promote student self-discipline in their journey to succeed is fundamental to common grade level assessments constructed by a consensus of teachers for all Academic Content Standards. (Whole Faculty Study Group settings). Standards Revision and Model Curriculum The Revised Academic Content Standards have re-directed educators from minimum standards to college and career readiness expectations for students. Curriculum alignment (horizontally and vertically), designing of mapping or instructional calendars, identifying essential standards, and developing common lesson planning/assessment to match Bloom’s levels of rigor is an in-depth approach to instruction through inquiry-based teaching and differentiated instruction with focus on 21st Century Skills. Principal Walk-Throughs The Principal Walk-Through professional development program is designed for principals/administrators utilizing the Downy model. The program focuses on the rationale and protocol for walk-throughs, using three-minute walk-throughs to promote and support a collaborative atmosphere and conversation about teaching and learning, and gathering data about instructional practice and student learning through Reflective Questioning protocols used by the principal/administrator. Mathematics Teacher Mentor Program The Mathematics Teacher Mentor Program is an approach grounded in the concept of mentor and teacher teaming to: 1. Improve student achievement 2. Strengthen content knowledge 3. Strengthen knowledge in math pedagogy High-quality, on-site professional development will target instructional strategies proven to help students better learn, understand, and apply mathematics.
