Professional Development

For 2013-2014,what does the state expect from the Superintendent and Principals for implementation of: *The Common Core State Standards? *Date Driven Instruction? *APPR What have we already accomplished? What fits our “Theories of Action?”To what can we commit for 2013-2014?

How Does This Work Connect to Other District Initiatives?

How much time will you spend in classrooms each day? (e.g., 1-3 hours?) How will you protect time for observations and feedback?

What evidence collection tool(s) will you use that reflect the Common Core Shift and the indictors in your teacher evaluation rubric?

What processes will you use for regular evidence collection across subject areas?*Walk throughs? * Mini-observations? *Patterns of Practice? “Instructional Rounds?

What will be your system of tracking the feedback you give to each teacher? All teachers?

How will you have courageous conversations with EVERY teacher about growth areas in practice?
