Overview of Sumner’s Timeline • Convened Guiding Team March ‘12 • Selected Danielson for Teaching June ‘12 • Began Pilot Aug. ‘12 • Summative Training next week
Guiding Team • Whole Team: Decisions about Transition • Subcommittees: • Artifacts • Student Growth • Training • Logistics/Contracts
Artifacts • Artifacts: Guiding principles • Key artifacts collected by all (standardized) • Choice artifacts with parameters • Non-artifact evidence included • Teacher reflection and analysis of artifacts IS evidence and is the key to the process
Artifact Guide • 8 Required Pieces (high leverage) • 5 Choice Pieces (esp. 4C Communicating with Families) • Includes Student Growth artifact
Student Growth: Goals • All on Comprehensive set 4 SMART goals based on data and self-assessment in Sept. • 1 Component goal (ex. 3b Questioning Techniques) • 3 Student Growth Goals (think nested dolls) • PLC Goal (Criteria 8) • Whole Class Goal (Criteria 6) • Subgroup Goal (Criteria 3)
Lessons Learned • Give more guidance, more models on goals • Defining what we mean by terms like “whole class growth.” • More training/time on goal setting, planning for assessments/data collection and analysis
Overall Successes • The pilot process has helped us develop the process that we believe will work for the rest • Teachers are seeing examples of how the framework can change thinking about teaching and ramp up performance • Everyone is seeing how the Framework can anchor all of the change initiatives
Biggest Challenges • Constant tension between the professional growth vs process/accountability • Transition rate (how much, how fast) • Relevance for all certs; all levels/subjects • Training: When? What?Who?How?
