This two-day workshop is designed for educators such as superintendents, principals, Q-Comp leaders, and teacher leaders who engage in instructional supervision of teaching practice.  Participating schools/districts are encouraged to send a team of two or more to the two-day series.  Because content and learning activities will be scaffolded over the course of the two sessions, participation in Day 1 is a pre-requisite for Day 2.

 

Day 1 (Sept 30th) will include an overview of the four domains and 22 components of effective teaching, which are outlined in Danielson's text, Enhancing Professional Practice, A Framework for Teaching, 2nd ed. (2011.)  Participants will use the Danielson's Framework as a reference point for collecting observation data that is evidence-based.  The inquiry cycle, including pre-observation, observation, and post-observation conferencing will be utilized to maximize teacher engagement in the evaluation process.

 

Day 2 ( Nov 3rd) will extend participant's application of Day 1 content.  Through focus on a growth-orientated approach to teacher evaluation, participants will utilize observation data, strategies for providing feedback, and approaches for determining goals and/or action plans for the teacher's professional growth.  Inter-rater reliability will be addressed for consistency in utilization of Danielson's four Levels of Performance.  Team time will be provided for participants to engage in discussion about how Danielson's rubrics and calibrating conversations can be utilized in their local context.
