Challenges?
Societal ChangeShifting Future
The video presents a compelling case for how teaching and learning must also keep changing to support our kids
What are the challenges for teachers in an environment of such rapidly changing
expectations?

Opportunities
Realistically, in our lives outside of school, most of us are adapting quite well to a period of unprecedented, rapid change in the world.
What are key skills we possess that help us adapt and thrive in our world today?
Which of those are skills we’ve had to learn recently?
![Page 6: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Which of these are also important skills we should be teaching our students?
![Page 7: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Profession and CHANGE
• THE WORLD HAS CHANGED (shocker!)
• Society has changed (thus – our students)
• Expectations for schools and educators have changed
• What worked 100, 50, even 10 years ago may not be relevant now
![Page 8: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How does CHANGE affect our jobs as educators?
• Flexibility – with our students, their families, our resources, our pedagogies
• Openness – to new ideas
• Transparency – more than ever, this is unavoidable. We expect it, and it’s expected of us!
![Page 9: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Core Beliefs
• All of us have room to grow in our profession –learning is a lifelong pursuit, and educators above all should embody this philosophy
• Evaluation should always be a basis for feedback and collaborative discussions about next steps
• The evaluation tool should be uncomplicated, flexible enough to address diversity and CHANGE, and specific enough to address what really matters in the classroom

Evaluation in it’s current form
• We feel that with Domains and Categories we are getting very close, but we are very open to any comments and suggestions
• The indicators still contain much redundancy, could probably be re-worded a bit, and are very possibly incomplete in some categories
![Page 25: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is needed today
• Beginning now, throughout the rest of the time, jot down any notes or ideas as they come up on the Draft Evaluation you have now
• The Draft Evaluation includes Indicators for the Domains and Categories
• Be specific with your notes – there will be a time and place for you to include this input, and you don’t want to forget your ideas as they occur to you.
![Page 26: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Observations
• For the observations activity, use your own paper for notes if needed, and the sticky notes and Concept Sort posters from earlier for your observation discussions.

Observation #1
• Have each person in your group decide on a Domain and Category they will observe for in the following video. Take notes only on those elements that apply to that category.
![Page 28: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

What did you see?
• As a group, bring your observations together.
• Decide – for each category, what did you observe that would be relevant for evaluation in that category?

Time for your input!
• Please go to the inservice website –
• www.agsdinservice.weebly.com
• There are 3 separate links:– Eval Tool Domain #1 – Classroom Environment
– Eval Tool Domain #2 – Instruction
– Eval Tool Domain #3 - Professionalism
![Page 40: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Directions
• You will be going through the 3 links on the home page to input your recommendations for the evaluation tool in its current state.
• Use the notes you have taken on the Draft Evaluation today.
• Work in 2’s or 3’s on one computer or in larger groups on individual computers to split the work
![Page 41: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Old vs. New • What are the differences between our current eval instrument (the “old”) and the new?
• The primary purpose of the new instrument is teacher growth. The current instrument has a tendency to be a snapshot – “Here’s where you are – that’s it”.
• An instrument that has more realistic and specific categories allows administrators and teachers to have discussions about actual practice and how it can grow.
• Note any other significant differences you see.
![Page 42: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Next Steps
• Bringing together all of the input gathered today, sorting, and revising accordingly
• Creating rubrics to begin to measure levels of performance
• Piloting district-wide in 2015/2016
• By spring 2016, begin making final revisions based on pilot year feedback
• Ready for full implementation in Fall 2016
![Page 43: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What will it look like?
• A vision of where we want to be
![Page 44: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Classbright
• A key database tool that will keep evaluation-related information safe and accessible.
![Page 45: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Classroom Observations
• Information is dropped into Classbright in teacher’s secure domain – only immediate supervisor (principal), Assistant Superintendent, and Superintendent may access this.
![Page 46: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pre-and Post Observation
• These meetings can be documented by the principal and added to the teacher’s secure domain in Classbright.
![Page 47: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Artifacts of Practice
• A teacher may add specific artifacts of practice (newspaper articles, awards or other recognition, certifications, photographs, etc.) to their secure domain in Classbright
![Page 48: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SLO Data
• The teacher’s SLO (Student Learning Objectives) can be added to their secure domain in Classbright.
![Page 49: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Evaluation
• When the evaluating administrator is ready to complete the evaluation, they have access to all of the items in the teacher’s secure domain for that school year to assist them with specifics when completing the evaluation.
![Page 50: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Access
• At any given time, the teacher has access to their secure domain for the current year and may look over any observations, pre-post observation conference notes, or other artifacts added by themselves or their administrator.
• The teacher also may access their evaluation history at any time
![Page 51: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Growth
• By storing and accessing this data in this way, teachers and their administrators can make informed decisions about professional growth and support, as well as looking back and recognizing patterns of professional growth over time
![Page 52: Eval inservice update copy for ss](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9bd971a28abdb238b4629/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Professional Development
• By having access to data across the district in this way, the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent can make better-informed decisions regarding professional development that meets the real needs of the staff individually, by site, or district-wide.
