Rubrics for Teachers November 1, 2011 with Dawn Shannon and Barb Phillips
Outcomes. . . • To compare and contrast teacher rubrics • To define criteria for selection within our district • To describe advantages/disadvantages of “common rubrics”
If there were no mandate to improve teacher evaluation processes, what would you do? If one response was to clearly define and describe quality teaching, how would you begin?
Why a rubric? What is a “rubric”? ru·bric noun • a title, heading, direction, or the like, in a manuscript, book, statute, etc., written or printed in red or otherwise distinguished from the rest of the text. • a direction for the conduct of divine service or the administration of the sacraments, inserted in liturgical books. • any established mode of conduct or procedure; protocol. • an explanatory comment • a class or category
What do YOU value when you describe excellent teaching? Do other administrators and teachers value the same things? Why is this important?
What are characteristics of excellent rubrics? • Clearly describe desired actions • Clearly distinguishes between “levels” • Thoroughly and completely defines the necessary actions
Other criteria. . . • Length • Complexity • Values/orientations/emphasis of the rubric designers • Cost • Alignment with local values • “Scorability”
Let’s look. . . . See summary of current rubrics.
Let’s compare and contrast! What are engaged learners? What do teachers DO to engage learners?
How do the rubrics describe “engaged learner”? • Pink: Danielson’s Framework for Teaching (ASCD) • Orange: Danielson (2011 Revised Edition) • Tan: Marshall’s Teacher Evaluation Rubric • Green: Marzano’s Causal Teacher Evaluation • Blue: NYSTCE Framework for the Observation of Effective Teaching (Pearson) • White: NYSUT’s Teacher Practice Rubric • Purple: Thoughtful Classroom Teacher Effectiveness (Silver Strong & Associates)
Alignment with what YOU value. . . Take a look!
What could a process look like in your district for selecting a rubric?
Other. . . • Relationship to principals’ rubric • Role of principals on the selection process • Designing inter-rater agreement and reliability
THANK YOU!!!! Dawn and Barb
