Lead Evaluator Training Or, to basically increase the likelihood that all of this can make a difference.
Agenda Middle of the Year Artifact Review Evidence Collection Scoring (with feedback) Growth Producing Feedback
Enhancing the Impact of Feedback to Teachers
Background Authors interviewed teachers, some successful and some struggling, and identified common concerns: Infrequent visits are unnerving Uncertain expectations create anxiety Waiting is difficult Sense of Disempowerment Lack of Helpful Information
Directions Read each of the concerns. As a table, suggest some strategies you could employ to diffuse the concern.
Author Suggestions Use effective interpersonal strategies Sequence the conversation into a predictable format Address the teacher s concerns; listen Co-develop next steps

Artifacts What have you done in your building to help teachers with the submission of artifacts? Talk at your table.
Assessment as Evidence NYS Teaching Standard 5
Assessment Common Formative Assessments Common Interim Assessments Student Learning Objectives External Assessments Balanced Assessment System Classroom Assessments Worksheets, classroom response, whiteboards, exit tickets, conferences, student self- assessment Performances, tests, or writing prompts given every 6-8 weeks Growth measures designed for use with the APPR growth and local achievement Common tasks and prompts assessed with rubric, quizzes Chapter/unit tests, final projects 3-8 tests, Regents exams, SAT, AP Examples Very formative; can be diagnostic if used prior to instruction Formative and summative Format Mostly summative Formative Summative Very summative Grade level/discipline teams of teachers working together. District teams of representative teachers may also look at the data Teachers and lead evaluators/principals An external group of experts Responsibility Classroom teachers Classroom teachers Provides immediate feedback and guides instructional decisions To assess student learning in order to make instructional decisions. Also serves to assess curriculum, instruction, and pacing. Conversion to scores for use in teacher and principal evaluation Accountability and placement Purpose Provision of grades
Assessment Tables work as groups of four for this activity. 1. Each person (of four) picks one of the articles 2. Read your own article (do 3-2-1) 3. Like people meet to discuss and agree on the most important things in the article 4. Go back to original group and share
Assessment How could you use an activity like this in your school?
The Year at a Glance Ongoing End of the Year Beginning of the Year Beginning of the year meeting Standards I and II SLO and local (LAT) target setting Evidence Submission by Teacher Evidence Collection Sharing the evidence Feedback Conversations Evidence from the year collected Compare collected evidence to the rubric Summative score determination and communication
Artifacts Examine some more artifacts. In your folder you will find: Assessment examples Lesson plan example Friday Folder example (and annotation)
Back to Assessment Now that you looked at some assessment, talk about assessments, in general, and what they tell you at your table. What else would you want to see? What questions do you have for the teacher?
Back to Assessment Think about your assessment conversations. Ask yourself: Are they about common formative assessment? About making instructional decisions based on formative assessment? Or are they about the administration, scoring, and results of state tests and exams?

Evidence Collection Collect evidence Clean it up Code it Sort it Score it (use answer sheet to record your answers) Leave your totaled sheet behind
Evidence Collection How did you do? At your table? So what? Leave your totaled sheet behind
Growth Producing Feedback
Growth Producing Feedback Page 1: Talk about what resonates more (or less) for you. Page 2: Look at the continuum. At your table, talk about each C one by one. After each, individually, jot down your recollection of an recent experience in which you acted that way. Page 3: Individually, list your staff members names in the column that reflects how you most typically interact with each. Page 4: As a group, look the page over, again talking about what resonates more (or less) for you.
Growth Producing Feedback At your table, talk about the feedback you would give our teacher after her lesson. Talk about which C is the approach you would take with her.
Closure: On My Mind 1. On a 5x8 card, write a question about instructional leadership or supervision/evaluation. Write one question per card.
Closure: On My Mind 2. Circulate the cards around your table. When you encounter a question about which you are curious add a dot to it.
Closure: On My Mind 3. After three minutes, exchange your table s cards with another table; repeat
Closure: On My Mind 4. Report out the card with the most dots to the larger group
On Your Own Read the Conference that Make a Difference article. It sums things up very well.
A Good Resource Many of the ideas and resources from today s session come from Paula Rutherford and Just ASK Publications. If no one in your district has one of these please come and take one.
Next Session March 17th in Syracuse March 18th in Cortland Agenda will include Evidence for Standards 6 & 7 (Domain 4) Summative Evaluations Growth-Producing Feedback, including difficult conversations
