Today’s Targets • I can identify the conditions for effective teacher teams and their importance to the role of teacher leaders. • I can evaluate and modify, if needed, our current district plan for sustainability. • I can identify the implementation level of the KCAS in my district. • I can provide feedback on my level of understanding around the 2011-2012 ISLN targets. • I can make connections to effective teaching and learning using the Teacher/Principal Effectiveness Frameworks.
Effective Teacher Teams Volume 27, Number 6November/December 2011 Rating Your Teacher Team Five Conditions for Effective Teams By Vivian Troen and Katherine C. Boles
Rating Your Teacher Teams • Read the article • As you read, highlight 2 or 3 of the passages that mean something to you. In the margin, write a couple of sentences about why you picked each one.
Save the Last Word for Me • Count off in your group • #1 will start • Read one of the passages that you have underlined. • Say “leave the last word for me” • Everyone else in the group comment on the passage. • The person who chose the passage will then explain why he/she chose it. • Move to the next person. Keep going until time is called. Depending on the size of your group you may get to share more than 1 of your passages. A copy of the “Save the Last Word for Me” protocol is included in today’s materials.

Comparison Table LEADERSHIP CURRICULUM RIGOR INSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT
What is the implementation level of the ELA KCAS in my district?
Implementation Rubric • Review the rubric independently. • With your district’s team, discuss each indicator (such as “Knowledge of Standards”). Think about specific accomplishments your district has made. • Agree on a rating for each indicator. (Use the “possible evidence” handout to help you make decisions.) • Circle the group’s rating decision on your individual rubric so that all team members will have a record of your decisions. • One team member will complete a rubric (color copy) to submit to Carole or Katrina TODAY. • Districts not participating in today’s ISLN will be contacted by a Frankfort –based consultant and asked to complete a rubric.
