New questions/real answers • What do you like about this place? • What about this school needs improvement?
A Shift in Focus: from teacher observation to student learning • If I were a student in this classroom, what would I think was important for me to learn today, and how well would I believe that I had to learn it? • If I did everything the teacher asked me to do during this lesson, what would I actually learn, and what kind of evidence would produce that I had learned it?
What evidence of learning did students exhibit during the lesson? What did I see? What is it evidence of? What does it mean? Where are the gaps in myunderstanding? What do I need to learn more about?
Directions: • Add these questions to your system of evaluation • How can you incorporate the Student Viewpoint and Principal as Learner?(Formally? Informally? ) • How can the tool work for you?
Helpful Feedback User-friendly • Confusing • I was confused about who was assigned each role in the collaborative groups Goal-referenced • You should have included some Essential Questions in your unit plan • What questions can you use to guide your unit? Actionable • Many students were bored in class. • I counted ongoing inattentive behaviors in 12 of the 25 students • What would you like me to look for and perhaps count? Tangible and transparent • Good work • Your use of wait time allowed for the ENL students to participate more fully in class. Timely; Ongoing, &Consistent
Prompts like the following promote frequent reflection: • What worked in this lesson? How do I know? • What would I do the same or differently if I could re-teach this lesson? Why? • What root cause might be prompting or perpetuating this student behavior? • What do I believe about how students learn? How does this belief influence my instruction? • What data do I need to make an informed decision about this problem? • Is this the most efficient way to accomplish this task? Teacher Self Evaluation
How toadapt tools to be used for teacher reflection as well?
Other • Researchers found that having different raters score observations of teachers’ practice may be a key component for the observations systems: Raters’ first perception of a teacher’s practice tended to influence how they scored additional lessons taught by that same teacher. (Measures of Effective Teaching Study,Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 2013) • Research suggests that teachers should be observed by more than one person to ensure that scores are reliable.
