Refining Informal Observations Using Purposeful Observation to Gather Evidence for a Performance Measure

Questions to Consider –What are the student learning behaviors I expect to see ? –What are the teacher behaviors I expect to see? –When will I observe? For how long? –How will I track progress over time?

Informal Lesson Observations Students discussed an objective from the Essential Curriculum. Students used language found in the Essential Curriculum, as well as other subject specific language. Student Learning Behaviors Students connected what they did in class to the world around them. Students were actively engaged in appropriate instructional activities.

Informal Lesson Observations The teacher’s lesson plans included objectives from the Essential Curriculum. The teacher communicated valid objectives to students at the beginning of the class. Teacher Behaviors The teacher engaged students in instructional activities highlighted in the eGuide. The teacher differentiated instruction based on student interests, readiness, or student learning profile.

Think Cause and Effect What is the connection between teacher behaviors and student learning behaviors?

Are We Making Progress?

What Are My Next Steps?

Now It’s Your Turn Working with colleagues at your table –What are the student learning behaviors you expect to see ? –What are the teacher behaviors you expect to see? –When will you observe? For how long? –How will you track progress over time?

Systemic Expectations Know your students who receive FARMs. Know what interventions and supports are in place to ensure their success. Have a process for continuously monitoring their progress. Develop a relationship with families.
