Reflection Questions
          What does your administrator know
            about your teaching practice?

           What does your administrator NOT
          know about your teaching practice?

         For those things that the administrator
         does NOT know, how might you make
         sure the administrator has the relevant
            information about your teaching
                       practice?

                           Capturing Evidence During an
                           Observation
     During an observation,
     An assessor will capture sufficient evidence to complete the Observation of
     Standards Form
     What is the professional doing?
       Ex: Reviewed the home-learning assignment
         What are the students doing?
             Ex: Students were engaged after transitioning from the previous   activity

     What are other sources of evidence?
       Ex: Student work folders include up-to-date graded assignments
            with feedbackI will look
     A teacher should consider what evidence of the observable standards is
     evident during the lesson, and what additional evidence the professional
     might wish to bring to a post-observation meeting.

59

       Preparing for the Post Observation
       Conference (Teacher Reflection)
       What is something you want your administrator to
        know about your practice?

       How could you share this information with your
        administrators?

       What might you bring to a post- observation
        meeting that might provide evidence of that?

     Reflection and Development Phase
 Step 2: Needs Assessment/Focus
 Select one area of focus expected to impact professional
 practices and support student learning.

 What areas of self-improvement might be your primary
 focus?

 Based on the area chosen, think about what instructional
 practices might help you to grow professionally and improve
 student(s) learning.

92

                              Focus

               Based on the available information,
              what can be used to narrow the focus,
                 and how will it improve student
                           learning?

     Reflection and Development Phase
     Step 3: Growth Target
     Determine a deliberate growth target that addresses
     professional practices that impact student learning.

     Based on your focus, think about the growth
     target as it impacts student learning.

95

                     Growth Target
            What does the professional plan to
          learn to improve practice regarding the
                        area of focus
                            and
          how will that improve student learning?

              Step 3: Growth Target
                    Example
     Example of a deliberate practice growth target:
     I will engage in professional learning to become more knowledgeable
     about the application of Mathematics Florida Standards. As a result,
     students will be able to access the curriculum at their instructional level
     and demonstrate improvement in math literacy.

 Step 4: Plan of Action Example
      I plan to attend scheduled mathematics professional
      development activities. Additionally, I will observe a peer and
      reflect with a colleague each quarter to strengthen my
      professional practice.

DPGT Reflection and Development Phase
        Electronic Submission
  To submit your DPGT:
  Go to:          hrinfo.dadeschools.net/dpgt
  Log in:          Employee Number (XXXXXX)
  Password:        Last 4 of your SS # (XXXX)

  This is NOT the same process as logging in to the portal or to My
  Learning Plan.

  1) Log in so the DPGT system will recognize you.
  2) Log out and contact your administrator so they can “override” your form.
  3) Log back in after they have done so; complete and submit your DPGT.

      If it is your FIRST time in the system, log in and then log back out.
      Notify your administrator that you are ready for them to do an “override.”

106

  Open the document for the current school year
                (2020‐2021)

107

                    If green, add your
        Reflection and Development information

 Note the red background.
 No changes may be made until the “override” is completed and the background turns green.

        At the end of the school year add your
         Reflection and Outcome Information

  Note that the background is green.
  This allows you to type into the form, save, and submit information.

          Monitoring DPGT Progress

      • Your DPGT should be implemented throughout
        the school year.
      • Check in periodically.
      • Make adjustments and changes as needed and
        monitor your progress towards your growth
        target.
      • Once you have submitted your initial DPGT,
        your administrator will need to "override" your
        DPGT to release it to you for editing.

110

                   DPGT Process
           Reflection and Outcome Phase
         Step 6: Impact
         Describe how your professional growth target has
         been achieved and the impact on your
         professional growth and student(s) learning.
         How do you know that you met your goal?
         Refer to your Deliberate Practice Growth Target form and data.

         What is your evidence?
         (i.e., PLC logs/agendas; formal and informal assessment data; student
         attendance logs; student work, professional reflection documentation)

              Progress Monitoring
              How did the professional monitor progress
              toward the goal?
              Were any modifications needed?
              Outcome
              What has been the impact on the
              professional’s growth and student learning?

112

         Step 6: Impact Example
      As a result of attending mathematics trainings,
      observing a peer, and reflecting with a colleague, I
      gained new knowledge and instructional
      strategies. As a result of integrating these
      strategies, my students demonstrated increased
      math literacy as evidenced by improved scores on
      the topic assessments throughout the course of
      the year.

      standards.
      The formal request and all supporting documents
      must be submitted no later than 7 days after the last

                    Revisiting our Learning Goals
   Understand the IPEGS performance standards
   Analyze the language of the IPEGS rubrics and the four-point rating
    system
   Evaluate the sources and purposes of evidence in IPEGS relative to
    performance standards
   Generate and evaluate examples of evidence/behaviors aligned to
    performance standards and applicable rubrics
   Apply the learning to identify and classify observed evidence
   Understand the Deliberate Practice Growth Target (DPGT) process and
    the connection to IPEGS
   Apply the DPGT rubric to evaluate a sample DPGT
   Understand the procedures and timelines in the Summative Evaluation
    Process
