Unpacking the Classroom Environment

and Culture and Professional Collaboration

and Communication Dimensions of 5D+

Norms for Learning Talk Listen Share ideas Respect opinions and ideas shared Care about the learning of one another Keep electronic distractions to a minimum

Learning TargetToday you are going to learn how to explain the dimensions of

CEC and PCC on the 5D+ Rubric.

What does this LT mean? What will it look like and sound like

when you can do it?

Success CriteriaBy the end of the session you will be able to articulate the difference between the performance levels of

the indicators. list teacher and student observables for the distinguished

performance level for CEC. self assess on PCC and reflect on areas for improvement.

CEC indicatorsCEC1 – Use of Physical Environment: Arrangement of classroomCEC2 – Use of Physical Environment: Accessibility and use of

materialsCEC3 – Classroom Routines and Rituals: Discussion, collaboration and accountabilityCEC4 – Classroom Routines and Rituals: Use of learning timeCEC5 – Classroom Routines and Rituals: Managing student behaviorCEC6 – Classroom Culture: Student statusCEC7 – Classroom Culture: Norms for learning

1. Start at the Basic level for CEC1. Read through and highlight the descriptors. 2. Next, read through the Proficient descriptors for CEC1. Highlight the differences between the Basic and the Proficient descriptors.3. Finally, read through the Distinguished descriptors for CEC1. Highlight the differences between the Proficient and Distinguished descriptors. 4. Repeat for all indicators of the CEC dimension.

Discuss what you found with the people around you.

Look up whatever phrases or terms in the descriptors

you thought might be confusing to someone.

Discuss the terms you find in the glossary that help define the rubric language.

What connections do you see between the indicators?

For example, CEC1 is about the physical arrangement of the classroom and CEC2 is about the accessibility of materials.

Give ‘n Get1. Make sure everyone around you has a sheet of 8.5 x 11” sheet of

paper.2. Fold the paper in half 3 times. When you open it, you should have 8

spaces for writing sentences.3. Make sure everyone around you has something to write with.4. In the spaces on this paper, we are going to write as many ideas,

strategies, tips, etc… (possible observables) that support the distinguished level for the CEC indicators.

5. For example, I might write “Have content posters on the wall for the current unit.” (part of CEC2)

6. When the music begins, start writing, in complete sentences, as many ideas, strategies, tips, etc… that support the distinguished level for the CEC indicators.

Give ‘n Get7. Please stop writing.8. Please stand up. Please pick up your paper and writing utensil.9. When the music starts, mingle with the other participants in the

room and share your ideas with one another. When someone shares and idea with you, add it to your sheet and when you share an idea with them, they will add it to their sheet.

10. When you fill up the front side of your sheet, use the back.11. Please thank your partners.12. Please return to your seats.13. Put a star by 3 – 5 of your favorite ideas or the ideas that will help

you achieve the goal you set for this year.

Learning Target and Success CriteriaToday you are going to learn how to explain the dimensions of

CEC and PCC on the 5D+ Rubric.

By the end of the session you will be able to articulate the difference between the performance levels of the

indicators. list teacher and student observables for the distinguished

performance level for CEC. self assess on PCC and reflect on areas for improvement.

Lets take a 15 min break.

PCC indicatorsPCC1 – Professional Learning and Collaboration: Collaboration

with peers and administrators to improve student learningPCC2 - Professional Learning and Collaboration: Professional and collegial relationshipsPCC3 – Communication and Collaboration: Parents and guardiansPCC4 – Communication and Collaboration: Communication within

the school community about student progressPCC5 – Professional Responsibilities: Supports school, district,

and state curriculum, policy and initiativesPCC6 – Professional Responsibilities: Ethics and advocacy

1. Start at the Basic level for PCC1. Read through and highlight the descriptors. 2. Next, read through the Proficient descriptors for PCC1. Highlight the differences between the Basic and the Proficient descriptors.3. Finally, read through the Distinguished descriptors for PCC1. Highlight the differences between the Proficient and Distinguished descriptors. 4. Repeat for all indicators of the PCC dimension.

Discuss what you found with the people around you.

Look up whatever phrases or terms in the descriptors

you thought might be confusing to someone.

Discuss the terms you find in the glossary that help define the rubric language.

What connections do you see between the indicators?

For example, CEC3 is about students being help accountable for their work and PCC4 is about the teacher and student communicating accurately and positively about the student’s work.

Self Assessment on PCC

Now that we have familiarized ourselves with the indicators and performance levels of PCC, we are going to self assess on PCC.

Starting at the Basic level for each indicator, read through each indicator and rate yourself. If everything about your practice at the Basic level is true, go to the Proficient descriptor. If everything at the Proficient level is true, go to the Distinguished descriptor. If everything about your practice at the Distinguished level is true, rate yourself distinguished. If it is not, rate yourself accordingly.

Do this for each indicator of PCC. This is personal. Please do this as the music plays.

What did this self assessment reveal to you

orwhat areas will you focus on

for improvement?

Purpose and Student Engagement on the 5D+ Rubric.

By the end of the session you will be able to articulate the difference between the performance levels of the

indicators. list teacher and student observables for the distinguished

performance level for each indicator. give examples of classroom strategies that positively impact student

learning and may help you achieve a higher evaluation rating.
