Deliberate Practice Plan ProcessDeliberate Practice Plan Process 1. Self-Assessment Review Last Year’s Instructional Practice Data 2. Identify Focus Strategy Evaluator/Instructional Personnel 3. Create Measurable Goals 4. Actions/Reflections: On-going Tracking Progress 5. Measure Growth to Determine Deliberate Practice Scoring

Instructional StrategyLevel/Score Current student behavior/learning that I want to see improve as a result of focusing on this target strategy Changes in student behavior/learning I expect to see as a result of focusing on this target strategy. 1. #22 - Engaging students in cognitively complex tasks involving generating and testing hypothesis. 2 Level of questions and questioning are moderate most of the time. Students give up on challenging tasks without much effort. I would like to have the teacher and students ask more higher order questions based on tasks involving complex texts. 2. #13 – Reflecting on Learning 3 (but 2 during observations 2 & 3) Students are not reflecting on learning Students reflecting on learning. 1.

3. Write Measurable Goals3. Write Measurable Goals Goals Goal #1 – I will raise my score on Engaging Students in Cognitively Complex Tasks Involving Generating and Testing Hypothesis from a 2 to a 4 and expect to see the results evident in student learning through their use of higher order questions and their ability to continue to solve complex tasks and persevere.

4. Identify Specific Action Steps & Resources Classroom Action StepsResources & Materials Goal 1 Ask 1 – 3 Higher Order Thinking (HOT) Questions with each complex text we read. Student pose HOT questions at each level of reading (beginning, middle, end) Literacy Coach help identifying complex text for appropriate grade level PD on HOT Types of HOT questions to ask View other classrooms with HOT questions Peer Review of classroom at mid point and end point.
