Critical Questions we were facing… ØHow are we going to ? Though many teachers Why are we not seeing were strong and the working hard, in general, not much Specialized Instruction “special” was being that we would expect to done for either struggling or advanced see given the gaps in learners… performance? We were a ONE SIZE FITS ALL system!
FEEDBACK: “Schools that are closing the gap exist in a culture of “public teaching” that supports non- defensive examination of practice in relation to student results. This means that when students don’t learn, teachers face the evidence squarely and accept responsibility for their part. “ Jon Saphier, Research for Better Teaching School: Date: INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING TOOL Anne Arundel County Public Schools Subject: Total number of students in class Number of students with disabilities in class Percentage of students with disabilities in class INDICATORS DESCRIPTORS P,X,NA Both teachers are directing student actions and Both teachers are: activities. • actively involved in leading instruction • providing pre-teaching or re-teaching • using one of the co-teaching models (simultaneous, alternative, parallel, station, one teach/one observe while collecting data) • assessing student performance using data sources (clipboard, Smart response…) Lesson outcomes are posted in terminology Outcomes are: clearly understood by students. • visible and able to be read by students • formatted in operational terms (I will…; student will…) • inclusive of an essential question • measurable • posted for entire class period • legible • matched to instructional activities • written in student-friendly language Lesson outcomes are referenced periodically Outcomes are: throughout instruction. • reviewed to check for student understanding of the material periodically throughout the lesson • referenced at least 3-5 times throughout the lesson including opening and closure of the lesson • included in the closure which should occur approximately 5-7 minutes prior to end of class with summary of lesson outcomes Concrete examples and modeling of content Teachers provide: being studied are offered. • a sample of the finished product which is displayed at the time of task assignment • a template or rubric depicting an effective product • observing teachers using technology to model and display concrete examples • real life examples • opportunities for students to interact with objects/manipulatives/artifacts • modeling of the process to complete the task (i.e. think aloud) Teachers break down questions when needed. Teachers: • define and clarify terms with examples • check for student understanding • ask students to rephrase for understanding Teachers use a variety of strategies and Activities offer: activities to engage students. • opportunities for students to move about the room • multiple opportunities that allow diverse students to process the content • opportunities for the students to lead activities and facilitate the learning • opportunities for students to work in a variety of groups Student mastery of concepts is assessed Formative Assessments: periodically throughout instruction. • show evidence of at least 2-4 formative assessments per class aimed at identifying students who are struggling or excelling with the concepts • lead to an adjustment of instruction • are used to check level of mastery (e.g. cruising clipboard; entrance and exit tickets; pinch cards; stop and thinks, Smart response data…) P = observed X = not observed NA = I would not have expected to observe this during this part of the lesson Revised: APRIL 2011 Developed by the Secondary Special Education Team

IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK: “I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.” Elon Musk, Entrepreneur 10:30-11:15 Language Arts 10/15/2017 -review the outcome using word wall to focus on what and why they were learning content -utilizing a brain break to re-reenergize and refocus to engage in the lesson -have models of types of cinquain poems while they were working on composing their own -using dry erase boards to encourage all students to respond during all of the awesome questioning (and use as formative assessment data on mastery towards the content!)

BUILDING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY: “In schools that are closing the gap: • team members visit each others’ classrooms regularly to do focused peer observations of one another. • They collect data in service of a question they want answered. • There is skillful debriefing of the observation and planning of next steps.” Stephen Sheldon, Director of Research, John Hopkins
BUILDING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY: “Leaders in schools that narrow the achievement gap make closing the gap the primary goal, set measurable goals and shrink the change.” Eric Jenson, Teaching with Poverty in Mind DI Instructional Rounds
