“ Tito ate one fourth of a cheese pizza. Tito ate three eighths of a pepperoni pizza… All pizzas
were the same size. Luis thinks he ate more than Tito because h didn’t eat any pepperoni
pizza…Luis thinks he ate more. Who is correct? Show your mathematical thinking…”

The District’s Role
Implementing Data Driven Instruction
• Ensure the use of district-wide, common interim assessments aligned to the Common Core
• Demand that principals foster systems for assessment-in-hand analysis of interim assessment data to drive changes in teacher practice
• Demand that all principals launch or improve this data driven system. This is not “data” as usual.
• Support Principal Skill Development in running effective data meetings, creating risk-taking opportunities for teacher reflection, using interim assessment informed lens to observe teachers and give feedback
www.engageNY.org 14
What is the Work?Principals Driving Teacher Effectiveness
1.The Principal Collects Objective
Evidence
2.The Principal Gives “Evidence-
based Feedback” to the Teacher
3.The Reflective Teacher
Shifts her practice so that
more students learn more.
www.engageNY.org 1515
The District’s Role
Implementing Teacher/ Leader Effectiveness
• Push the culture of the district to focus on high quality, evidence-based observation and continuous improvement.
• Establish systems and environments where principals and teachers feel safe to take risks, to use data, to name where they need to improve and to set about doing so.
• Demand that principals and other teacher supervisors are in classrooms

• Timely and expeditious appeals provision
• APPRs, in prescribed form, must be approved
by Commissioner for rigorous adherence to law
and regulation
• Preserves district discretion around
probationary teachers and tenure
