Clue 2: Mr. Jones is not the oldest or the youngest teacher. Clue 3: Mr. Jones does not like Nathan. Clue 4: Mr. Smith is not the oldest teacher.

Cluster’s Preview Cluster Objective: By the end of the cluster meeting, Career Teachers will be able to text render key descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric, resulting in making connections with TAP and key elements of their content, as measured by teacher observation and TAP Instructional Rubric. NEED: Career Teachers need to make connections with the TAP rubric and key elements of your content. Career Teachers need to understand how critical elements of your content can be integrated into the TAP rubric cycle. Career Teachers need to understand how both initiatives together impact student achievement. NEW LEARNING: Master Teacher will model how to text render the first six descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Standards and Objectives. DEVELOPMENT: Master Teacher and Career Teachers will text render the key descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Motivating Students. APPLICATION: Career Teachers will text render the key descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Lesson Structure and Pacing. Career Teachers will in pairs to text render specific TAP Indicators and apply all Indicators in your daily lessons. EVALUATION: Career Teachers will bring back student evidence that most students demonstrate mastery of the objective under the Standards and Objectives Indicator.

What is text rendering?

What is text rendering? To construct meaning collaboratively, clarify, and expand our thinking about a shared text During the process, participants will choose one or two sentences, one phrase, and one word that they found most important.

I Do: I will model how to text render the first six descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Standards and Objectives.

Standards and Objectives: Most learning objectives and state content standards are communicated. Sub-Objectives are mostly aligned to the lesson’s major objective. Learning Objectives are connected to what students have previously learned. Expectations for student performance are clear. State standards are displayed. There is evidence that most students demonstrate mastery of the objective.

We Do: We will text render the key descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Motivating Students.

Motivating Students • The teacher sometimes organizes the content so that it is personally meaningful and relevant to students. • The teacher sometimes develops learning experiences where inquiry, curiosity and exploration are valued. • The teacher sometimes reinforces and rewards effort.

You do: You (with our assistance) will text render the key descriptors for the TAP Instructional Rubric focusing on Lesson Structure and Pacing.

Lesson Structure and Pacing: Most lessons start promptly The lesson’s structure is coherent, with a beginning, middle, and end. Pacing is appropriate, and sometimes provides opportunities for students who progress at different learning rates. Routines for distributing materials are efficient. Little instructional time is lost during transitions.

Partner up: Partner up with the person that has the same number as you. Your Job: Text render the given Indictor together Post responses on a Post-It Report Out/Share out

Evaluate You will apply what you have learned pertaining to the “Big 12” into your daily lessons. You will bring back evidence that most students demonstrate mastery of the objective under the Standards and Objectives Indicator. Exit Ticket
