What have we learned from these? Skillful teachers are made, not born – Teaching is complex; can’t be reduced to a checklist of behaviors or strategies for every classroom, content area, grade, learning objective, student – Effective teachers have rich repertoires of professional practice and are skilled at “making the match” between standard, student, situation, and strategy – Effective teachers have more than one way to handle a given teaching situation What will we do differently?

Expectations Students – Consistently present and prepared – Ready to learn – Focused on success Teachers and Staff – Understand and align work to the standards, framework for teaching, assessments, and related resources (e.g., common course plans, CLP) Improve core instruction, including through greater differentiation and literacy integration – Actively participate in professional development and reflect on and in practice – Implement with fidelity (e.g., instructional minutes, instructional design) – Share expertise with and accept feedback from others

Expectations School leaders: – Understand the framework, CLP, standards and materials – Create a positive climate for learning – Promote effective instruction/support teacher learning Be in classrooms, provide feedback and support – Use data to monitor progress and improve – Hold staff accountable and be accountable themselves

Expectations Support staff, community members, parents, and other stakeholders: – Understand and support the framework, standards and expectations, and implementation – Help ensure students come to school and are prepared to learn--reinforce learning to high standards – Hold us accountable, help us celebrate our successes
