- Slide 2
- Objectives Develop a deeper understanding of the Framework for Teaching [FFT] as a tool to improve practice Understand the relationship between Domains 1 and 3 Self-assess practice using the FFT
- Slide 3
- Agenda Warm-Up: The Finer Points of the FFT Exploring the Levels of Performance Connecting Planning with Student Cognitive Engagement Self-Assessment of Practice Setting Goals Closure
- Slide 4
- Warm-Up With a partner, answer the questions on the hand-out, Finer Points of the Framework Be prepared to share your responses
- Slide 5
- Levels of Performance What are the characteristics of each level of performance? Why are the descriptors of each level important for us to understand?
- Slide 6
- Significance of the Levels of Performance Ineffective Teaching shows evidence of not understanding the concepts underlying the indicator - may represent practice that is harmful - requires intervention Developing Teaching shows evidence of knowledge and skills related to teaching but performance is inconsistent
- Slide 7
- Significance of the Levels of Performance Effective - Teaching shows evidence of thorough knowledge of all aspects of the profession. Students are engaged in learning. This is successful, accomplished, professional, and effective teaching. Highly Effective Classroom functions as a community of learners with student assumption of responsibility for learning.
- Slide 8
- Planning and Cognitive Engagement With a partner Review the components and elements of Domain 1 Discuss the following: What are the expectations for lesson planning? How do the components and elements inform one another?
- Slide 9
- Planning and Cognitive Engagement With a partner Review the components and elements of Domain 3 Discuss the following: What are the expectations for Instruction? How do the components and elements in Domain 1 inform the components and elements in Domain 3?
- Slide 10
- Engagement text study Read the section assigned to your table from Chapter 3 of Danielsons Talk About Teaching Section The Description of Content, pp 5-8 Section How are Students Motivated? pp 8-11 Section What is Intelligence? pp 11-15 Report to your colleagues Main ideas and concepts of the section How this section helps further define cognitive engagement
- Slide 11
- Planning for Cognitive Engagement Individually or with a colleague Plan [or revise] a lesson that ensures your students will be cognitively engaged. Be prepared to share your lesson/adjustments
- Slide 12
- Self-Assessment of Practice Use the FFT rubrics to self assess your practice Consider the evidence you have to support your self- assessment If you were to discuss your self-assessment with a peer or an administrator, how would you support your determination of a level of performance? Once you have self-assessed, review your areas of strength Do you notice any trends or patterns [e.g. you are stronger in one domain than another]?
- Slide 13
- Goal Setting Use your self-assessment as a guide, select one or two areas in which you would like to improve your practice What steps will you take to move your practice to the next level of performance?
