Cape Cod Tech Educator Plan Presentation

Educator Plan Form Due October 15 th …. It is an extension of your Goal Setting Form It is either a 1-year or 2-year plan, depending on your evaluation cycle Needs to be of high-quality Needs to be about what students learn and how you will teach it to them

Goals of presentation Teachers will reflect on student learning concerns and professional practice concerns and how that relates to their goal Teachers will determine how to implement their goals Teachers will look at a long-term goal and break it into smaller increments over time Teachers will recognize resources that will help them implement their plan Teachers will develop benchmarks throughout the evaluation cycle to determine the success of the plan for Student Learning Teachers will develop benchmarks throughout the evaluation cycle to determine the success of the plan for Professional Practice

Remember SMART S= Specific and Strategic M=Measurable A=Action Oriented R=Rigorous, Realistic, and Results Focused (the 3 Rs) T=Timed and Tracked Now we will add the Action and possible Timing and Tracking to your goal, all while focusing on the Results

Part 1: Student Learning Goals: Planned Activities Review Student Learning Goal from Example 1 Let’s brainstorm ideas to help carry out this goal

Brainstorming from Example 1 Need to incorporate safety skills and employability skills into more of what I teach Need to strengthen technical skills and knowledge Need a way for students to demonstrate those skills and to assess that demonstration Need to analyze those assessments Need a way to revisit/re-teach if students do not understand these skills Need time!!!!! Need help!!!! Need a way to see of it worked Need to reflect on what happened in

Part 1: Student Learning Goals: Planned Activities Review your Student Learning Goal Brainstorm ideas to help carry out this goal

Brainstorms to statements Just like we ask the students, take your brainstorms and make them sentences. Need to incorporate safety skills and employability skills into more of what I teach I will incorporate instruction of shop health and safety and employability skills into each cycle of instruction. Need to strengthen technical skills and knowledge Need a way for students to demonstrate those skills and to assess that demonstration I will assess these skills as a part of each unit’s overall assessment. Need to analyze those assessments Need a way to revisit/re-teach if students do not understand these skills When students do not demonstrate that they have learned essential safety and employability knowledge and skills, I will re-teach the skills/knowledge they did not master and re-assess the skills and knowledge. I will add “previously taught” questions to my tests throughout the year to see if students are retaining what was taught earlier.

Brainstorms to statements Just like we ask the students, take your brainstorms and make them sentences, again. Need time!!!!! – Make it I will use the last half hour of the day on Fridays to revisit and review as needed, important skills and knowledge from previous lessons Need help!!!! & Need to strengthen technical skills and knowledge I will work with the Literacy Coach to learn additional strategies for using technical reading and content based writing in my regular instruction Need a way to see of it worked I will include questions on my end of course assessment that measure student knowledge and skills from all strands of my Curriculum Framework Need to reflect on what happened in After the end of course assessment, I will work with my shop teachers to analyze the results and decide what we can do to improve results for next year.

Example 1

Resources What do you need as a teacher to implement some of the “actions,” you just stated? Not every Action needs a resource Sometimes the resource supports several actions

Supporting Your Actions/Example 1 I will incorporate instruction of shop health and safety and employability skills into each cycle of instruction. This is statement is obvious, maybe the teacher needs to refresh their safety and employability standards but that is not necessarily out of the norm I will assess these skills as a part of each unit’s overall assessment. This maybe an area where the teacher may seek support from a supervisor. Support is needed from my supervisor to help us link assessment questions to Standards. When students do not demonstrate that they have learned essential safety and employability knowledge and skills, I will re- teach the skills/knowledge they did not master and re-assess the skills and knowledge. I will add “previously taught” questions to my tests throughout the year to see if students are retaining what was taught earlier. The Action clarifies exactly what is needed. The previous resource may support this action as well.

Supporting Your Actions/Example 1 I will use the last half hour of the day on Fridays to revisit and review as needed, important skills and knowledge from previous lessons Do not be afraid from drawing from other teachers. (The best thieves are the best teachers.) I need to work with Ms. GHI from the Science Dept. on developing and using some of the high energy games she uses to review with her students I will work with the Literacy Coach to learn additional strategies for using technical reading and content based writing in my regular instruction This one is obvious. Literacy Coach I will include questions on my end of course assessment that measure student knowledge and skills from all strands of my Curriculum Framework After the end of course assessment, I will work with my shop teachers to analyze the results and decide what we can do to improve results for next year. These two go together, and sometimes all you need is time to collaborate. I need utilize PLC with the shop teachers in my program to review our end of course assessments as well as feedback form my PLC buddies…

Actions and Resources

Develop the Timeline Give yourself a “deadline,” and stick to it. List how often you will implement this action State how often you may access your “Resources” State when an action or resource will take place (i.e. unit plan, field trip or guest speaker)

Example # 1

Closing Be sure to share all information on Teach Point If you are working on Team Goals, all members of the team should have the same goal in their Goal Setting Form and the whole team must work together to develop the Educator Plan. However, not all of the teams’ Educator Plans will be the same. Good luck
