4. Hints for Capturing Evidence
When capturing and categorizing evidence after the lesson, these strategies may help you categorize effectively.
Label: Begin categorizing your notes by labeling evidence for rubric standard areas/indicators
Q & F: After you finish go thru your script and label all questions and feedback (Lesson Delivery and Assessment standards)
Upfront Summary: After you finish, go through the evidence and write a brief summary of the lesson
Lesson Analysis: Identify the lesson’s primary objective and sub-objectives (Focus for Learning)

5. Collecting and Categorizing Evidence: Language to Avoid
Avoid the use of the following language:
Value Statements:
I think…
I feel…
He/She should have…
He/She could have…
When I taught this, I …
The discussion about the lesson should be based on the evidence and the rubric.

6. Categorize and Rate your Standard(s)
Each group during the work session was assigned 1-2 standards to share with their building team.
You will first have 5 minutes to watch the pre-conference. Next you have 20 minutes to watch the lesson. Finally you will watch 5 minutes post-conference video.
First, write down evidence that you observe for your standard. Scripting the lesson is important. Do not rate the standard yet!

7. After Video – Give Examples of
Focus for Learning
Assessment Data
Prior Content Knowledge/Sequence/Connections
Knowledge of Students
Lesson Delivery
Differentiation
Resources
Classroom Environment
Assessment of Student Learning
Professional Responsibilities
