Goals and Key Activities: Integration Grant GOALS Integration districts will build capacity to deploy LDC/MDC tasks and modules Implement valid & reliable professional growth and evaluation system Develop delivery plan to track and monitor fidelity of implementation KEY ACTVITIES Identity and train partner districts/teachers Support administration in validating system through use of Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) videos and tools 8

Teacher & Principal Effectiveness Integration Work: Focus on College/Career Readiness 3 Year Integrated Strategy Identify 12 integration districts to implement LDC tasks and MDC formative assessment lessons at MS/HS; develop common assignments/assesments Use observation protocol to identify/provide feedback on effective instructional practices; field-test and validate teacher effectiveness system using MET tools; Collect, analyze and use appropriate real time data/ evidence from both teachers and students; Document via taping using MET technologies Instructional Strategies 9

Going Deeper—Integration Work &Teacher and Principal Professional Growth and Evaluation System Teachers want “performance based on factors they can impact directly -- like student growth and student engagement -- and not on factors that fail to consider the realities of individual students in individual classrooms.” --Scholastic survey 10

Why are we here? Students and Teachers Matter … ◦Teacher effectiveness is the dominant factor influencing student academic growth (Sanders, & Rivers, 1996; Wright, Horn, & Sanders, 1997) ◦An effective teacher is effective with all students (Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004) ◦Effective teachers have an extraordinary and lasting impact on the lives of students (Stronge, 2007)
