remember– Place a ? by anything that seems confusing

Table Discussion

• What are some characteristics of expert teachers?

• In your own words, summarize what it means when teaching is unsatisfactory (ineffective), basic (developing), proficient (effective), and distinguished (highly effective).

The Swimming Metaphor

What Happens When You are Observed:

• The administrator records evidence of domains 2 and 3 while watching your lesson.

• The administrator reviews his/her notes and organizes the evidence by domain and element.

• The administrator uses all evidence and the rubrics to select a performance level for each element of domains 2 and 3.

• The administrator completes the observation form by giving examples of evidence for each element of domains 2 and 3.

Review the Rubrics

• Have each person at your table choose a different rubric for an element of Domain 2 or 3.

• Read the description under each performance level.

• Highlight or underline important words.• Share what you learned with your table.

Whole Group Discussion

What is the major difference between proficient (effective) and distinguished (highly effective) in most elements?

Next Steps:

• Become very familiar with all of the rubrics. You may also want to read those sections of the book for more clarity.

• Look at the rubrics when you receive your observation form from your administrator. Use this information to help you understand how he/she evaluated your lesson.

• Always feel free to ask questions!

Reminder:

• Evidence folders for Domains 1 and 4 are due on June 1st.

• All pieces of evidence should be placed in the APPR folders on the Shared Drive.

• Please refer to the examples on the handout.• Include at least one and no more than two

pieces of evidence for each element. • Please label your evidence!
