Intros! • Name • Agency • Why this work? • One area your facilitators can improve on to make your curriculum even stronger?
Today’s Objectives • Define the elements of effective delivery of your school-based programming, aligning them to the CIS Core Competencies • Develop a professional development and observation feedback rubric based on essential skills and program elements • Practice giving constructive feedback to classroom facilitators
Connection to CIS of Chicago Core Competencies • What’s one way to align multiple facilitators, delivering a variety of sessions to different classrooms across the city? • Ground them in the Core Competencies and define what success looks like for your agency. • Provide examples and non-examples to ensure clarity. • Consider a rubric-type tool to help your facilitators self assess and be evaluated on to highlight strengths and areas of growth. This also helps to provide structure to the feedback conversation.
Core Competency: Instruction • Structured Lessons • Lesson plans for each session include clear, measurable learning objectives and specific student outcomes. The lesson is designed around a lesson cycle: hook, lesson, student practice and assessment. Formative assessment is built into the lesson to gauge student understanding and topics for further study.
Do now! • Identify what are must haves when a facilitator is preparing for a session • What are some examples of success for your facilitators? • What would you consider a non-example?
Core Competency: Instruction • Engaging Lessons • Lessons are structured to engage students and help them make real-world connections through a variety of hands-on activities and through various learning styles. Literacy skills are a component of every lesson through reading, writing or verbally responding to content and the Common Core State Standards ground the curriculum. Students are encouraged to use higher-order thinking skills (Bloom’s Taxonomy). Content is scaffolded so that students can build on prior knowledge and experiences.
Do now! • Of the core competencies, which do you think your facilitators need the most guidance to achieve? • Choose that competency! • What are some examples of success for your facilitators? • What would you consider a non-example?
Defining Success! • Provide pre and post session evals • Pre-session: will allow your facilitator to plan more effectively • Post-session: will allow for your facilitator to reflect, celebrate and identify additional opportunities for growth • Post-session: will provide framework for feedback from the observer
