ADDITIONAL PARTNERS AND INITIATIVES

CCLC – WHAT IS IT?Cross Career Learning Community – A professional

learning community that is based on the structure of Critical Friends Groups (CFGs) and includes both novice and experienced educators

CCLCs are designed to:

mentor and retain new teachers

draw on the particular expertise of its members (novice and experienced teachers, administrators, and university faculty) to increase student achievement

use structured conversations to focus on student work, dilemmas of practice, and data from individual classrooms and the school as a whole

CCLC – WHAT’S IN IT FOR SCHOOLS? Teacher development

CCLC members support one another in improving instructional practices and untangling professional dilemmas with the goal of increasing student achievement

Teacher retention86% of new teachers who participated in CCLCs returned for a second year of teaching (Black & Neel, 2007)

School & system level capacity buildingCCLC membership opens the door for school and system personnel to grow facilitative leadership skills

38

MINI-GRANTS AND FELLOWSHIPS FOR SCIENCE/MATH TEACHERSDR. DICK MILLER Collaborations between classroom

teachers and university science and mathematics faculty

U. and P-12 faculty obtain astronomical observations at GSU’s HLCO which are used to demonstrate physical principles

Researchers conduct action research in the science or mathematics classroom using remotely accessed astronomical observations at GSU’s HLCO

Research Example: Physical processes responsible for emission

NET-Q EVALUATION: FOCUSING ON DATA FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS FOR OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES

Dr. Bill Curlette

43

EVALUATION APPROACHES Context, Input, Process, & Product

(CIPP) Model (Stufflebeam) – Four Evaluations

Logic Model (Wholey, Patton) – Flowchart with Rationale (Often Research-based Practices)

Utilization Focused (Patton) – Higher Utilization if Stakeholders Involved

Linking Instructional Activities, and Teacher and/or Students Characteristics to Outcomes (Guskey) – Improved Understanding of Teaching and Learning

44

SOME GOALS RELATED TO SCHOOLS IN THE NET-Q PROJECT

2% increase in percentage of highly qualified teachers hired in partnership schools groups each year – Evaluation using data from Georgia Professional Standards Commission

5% increase in percentage of highly qualified teachers hired in partnership schools from under-represented groups each year – Evaluation using data from Georgia Professional Standards Commission

3% increase in percentage of highly qualified teachers hired in partnership schools in high need academic areas each year – Evaluation using data from Georgia Professional Standards Commission

All residents hired in NET-Q schools

45

OVERVIEW OF EVALUATION ACTIVITIES MORE DIRECTLY RELATED TO SCHOOLS

For each NET-Q School, there is a Comparison School (CS) which is selected based on matching at the school level on free- and reduced- lunch, race/ethnic group, and previous academic achievement.

Two of the major interventions are 1) a unit of instruction with interns placed in a school, called a Teacher-Intern-Professor (TIP) Group, and 2) Cross-Career Learning Communities (CCLCs).

OVERVIEW OF SOME EVALUATION ACTIVITIES MORE

DIRECTLY RELATED TO SCHOOLS Assistance in selecting a similar classroom to the NET-Q Teacher-Intern-

Professor (TIP) classroom in a Comparison School and use of common teacher-made pretests and posttests

Example of an Option: Teacher-Intern-Professor (TIP) - Groups focused on astronomy – Evaluation is based

on teacher grades which show at least 80% of students meeting expectations. Example of an Option: At least six TIP groups will be required to administer Constructed Response

Exercises.

Georgia CRCT domain scores (subtest scores) for students in classrooms of teaching interns. Previous year’s CRCT domain scores for these students are needed if scores are available (data may be obtained from central records).

End-of-course achievement tests for students in classrooms of teaching interns are needed when CRCT scores are not available (e.g., high schools).

48

OVERVIEW OF SOME EVALUATION ACTIVITIES

MORE DIRECTLY RELATED TO SCHOOLS

Teacher and mentor characteristics (e.g., demographic variables) for teachers working with NET-Q interns

Interviews of principals, teachers, students, and university professors (along with collecting artifacts) to assess functioning of the NET-Q Project (primarily with TIP Groups and CCLC Groups). Some schools may have focus groups or in a few instances observations of these groups (TIP Group is Teacher-Intern-Student, CCLC Group has teachers).

Internet survey each year for all teachers in NET-Q Schools and Comparison Schools – Support to help with high response rate is needed.

49

OVERVIEW OF SOME EVALUATION ACTIVITIES

MORE DIRECTLY RELATED TO SCHOOLS

NET-Q INITIATIVESTeachers In Residency (TIR) REAS: Math and Science/LEVELS - Middle/High School

only); Special Education/LEVELS – K-12 The NET-Q Teacher Residency provides effective pre-

service teacher preparation through data-driven post-baccalaureate programs with a year-long apprenticeship. Residents must commit to a three-year service obligation at a high-need school and in high-need subject areas of math, science or special education. Each teacher residency program is grounded in research and will recruit applicants from relevant occupations, former military personnel, and under-represented populations. Finally, the NET-Q Teacher Residency will have a cohort structure that enables residents to learn through collaboration and co-teaching with highly qualified, experienced mentor teachers.

Leaders in Residency (LIR) The grant contains a Leadership Residency

Program. Georgia State University has partnered with Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett school systems to identify one leadership candidate per year, per school system during the life of the grant. Candidates will be involved in a full-time performance-based leadership residency that will focus on issues that are relevant to each school system. The program will result in each candidate being qualified for a Performance-Based (PL-6) Leadership Certificate. Each district will develop its own application and selection process.
