  2. What is TELL? • A suite of products  and  processes  for WL teacher to  enhance  their  effectiveness in developing a  21st  century  skill  set  in   languages  and  cultures. 

  3. Built on Prior  Initiatives • Starting  with  the  End  in  Mind:  Planning  and  Evaluating   Highly  Effective  Foreign  Language  Programs, (Couet,   Duncan,  Eddy,  Met,  Smith,  Still,   Tollefson) • http://www.pearsonschool.com/live/customer_central/landi ngpage/endinmind/media/EndinMind_Bro_32201_1.pdf  ; • U.S.  Department  of  Education  Foreign  Language   Assistance  Program  (FLAP)  grant  awarded  to  the   Memphis  (TN)  City  Schools  and  directed  by  Alyssa   Villarreal,  Coordinator  of  World  Languages. • “Characteristics  of  Effective  Foreign  Language   Instruction,”  National  Association  of  District   Supervisors  of  Foreign  Languages,  adapted  from  work   done  in  the  Montgomery  County  (MD)  Public  Schools • http://www.nadsfl.org/page/documents-­‐1

  4. The Teacher Matters • WL teachers ask “how can we be more effective? • Teacher  effectiveness  is  the  single   most  critical  factor  in  student  achievement – • It’s about what  the  teacher  does  in  the  classroom  that  maximizes  student  achievement.

  5. Teachers matter Downloads • “Why TELL?” Presentation http://www.tellproject.com/why-teacher-effectiveness/

  6. TELL Framework • Clearly defines the characteristics  and  behaviors  exhibited  by  effective  world   language  teachers. • What makes  an  effective  world  language  teacher? • What  do  effective  world  language  teachers  do  to  ensure  that  students  achieve  world  language  competence?

  7. TELL Beliefs • The  identified  teacher  characteristics  and behaviors  represent  the  model  world  language teacher. • World  language  teachers  can  become  models  if the  model  teacher  is  defined. • The  identified  characteristics  and  behaviors  are intended  to  guide  individual  teacher  growth toward  the  model  and  are  not  necessarily  tied  to teacher  appraisal.

  8. TELL Framework • Establishes  those  characteristics  and  behaviors  that  model  teachers  exhibit. • Consists  of  7  domains • organized  around  the  three  competency  standards  of  the  National  Board  for  Professional   Teaching  Standards  (NBPTS).

  9. Preparing for Student Learning • LEARNING ENVIRONMENT • How do I establish a safe, supportive learning environment for my students? • PLANNING • How do I maximize student learning through my instructional planning?

  10. Advancing Student Learning • TEACHING THE LESSON • Which high-yield strategies help my students achieve the daily performance objectives? • ASSESSMENT • How do my students and I use assessments to show what they know and can do with what they know? • RESOURCES • How do my students and I capitalize on a variety of resources to maximize student learning?

  11. Supporting Student Learning • COLLABORATION • How does my collaboration with stakeholders support student learning? • PROFESSIONALISM • How does my continued growth as a professional support student learning?

  12. Tools  for  Implementation   • Aself‐assessment  inventory  based  on  the  Framework  criteria  in  order  to  help  the  user  plan  for  professional  growth  or  lead  others  to  do  so. • Formative  observation  instruments  that  can  be  used  by  peers  and  supervisors.   • Administrative  observation  instruments  written  in  such  a  way  as  to  be  useful  for  any  teacher  appraiser,  regardless   of  his/her  background  in  world  language  or  world   language  methodology.

  13. TELL Support • Research  and  scholarly  writings  that  support  the  Framework  criteria  are  cited  and  serve  as  sources  for  further  reading. • Exemplars  (documents  or  video  footage)  of  the  criteria  are  provided  for  illustration  purposes.     • Correlations of  the  Framework  criteria  link  TELL  to  other  documents  that  also  address  teacher  effectiveness.
