When do Administrators collect evidence? Prior to the lesson being observed During Walk-Throughs At Pre-Conference Review of lesson Generate questions from lesson plan During the lesson What the students /What the teacher says and does say and do Post-Conference Communication between classroom observation and post-conference After the lesson

Collecting/Capturing Evidence Capture: What the teacher says What the teacher does What the students say What the students do Copy wording from visuals used during the lesson Record time segments of lesson

Evidence Collecting Tips During the lesson: Time Abbreviate Verbatim Paraphrase Circulate After the lesson 1. Upfront Summary 2. Label 3. Lesson Analysis 4. Q & F

Hints for Capturing Evidence When capturing and categorizing evidence after the lesson, these strategies may help you categorize effectively. Label: Begin categorizing your notes by labeling evidence for rubric standard areas/indicators Q & F: After you finish go thru your script and label all questions and feedback (Lesson Delivery and Assessment standards) Upfront Summary: After you finish, go through the evidence and write a brief summary of the lesson Lesson Analysis: Identify the lesson’s primary objective and sub-objectives (Focus for Learning)

Collecting and Categorizing Evidence: Language to Avoid Avoid the use of the following language: Value Statements: I think… I feel… He/She should have… He/She could have… When I taught this, I … The discussion about the lesson should be based on the evidence and the rubric.

Categorize and Rate your Standard(s) Each group during the work session was assigned 1-2 standards to share with their building team. You will first have 5 minutes to watch the pre-conference. Next you have 20 minutes to watch the lesson. Finally you will watch 5 minutes post-conference video. First, write down evidence that you observe for your standard. Scripting the lesson is important. Do not rate the standard yet!

After Video – Give Examples of Focus for Learning Assessment Data Prior Content Knowledge/Sequence/Connections Knowledge of Students Lesson Delivery Differentiation Resources Classroom Environment Assessment of Student Learning Professional Responsibilities
