Opening the Conversation for Monitoring

What are the Experts Saying?

Dr. Kevin Feldman: ‘…useful or “actionable” feedback is a critical attribute in learning and continuous improvement.’

Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey: ‘True teacher leadership requires empowerment.’

City, Elmore, Fiarman, and Teitel: ‘We learn to do the work by doing the work, not by telling other people to do the work, not by having done the work at some time in the past, and not by hiring experts who can act as proxies for our knowledge about how to do the work.’

31

Opening the Conversation for MonitoringACTIVITY

32

DIRECTION for ACTIVITY•Each school should have a stack of Monitoring Activity Cards

•Use the four resource articles to complete the description box for each card

•As a group determine if this activity is:• Not possible at our school• We can do this with some training• This practice is in place at our school

 •Use a blank card to record and describe a monitoring activity in your school not listed on the cards.

MDE Program Evaluation Tool (PET) 2016

Requirements

Dr. Michael Radke, Director MDE Office of Field Services speaks…

“Yes, schools can use the PET on the same strategy/initiative/program for the second year (and possibly beyond). This is based on the belief that it may take 2-3 years to fully implement a major S/I/P, see data showing impact on achievement/gaps, and learning how to use the PET process with fidelity.”

“Yes, we only require use of the PET on ONE S/I/P just like last year.”

Staff will work together to create a common understanding and shared vision for how CITW will seamlessly integrate within the context of the building’s other initiatives.

Teacher Learning Teams utilize the CITW Implementation Guide which identifies Critical Components and Non-negotiables required to understand as a school the expectations for implementation in their classrooms.

Teachers will identify a colleague to engage in peer coaching during the implementation of math models as an instructional practice.

Implement Monitor Evaluate

All teachers will implement all elements of setting objectives and critical feedback into their lessons

Monitors will use the Strategy Implementation Guide to focus their walk Throughs on the Creating an Environment for Learning non-negotiables of Classroom Instruction That Works
