Top TalentPower of Teaching for Effective Behaviors

The Power of Teaching is a means to look for– and engage in– teaching practices that are:

•Research-established, and

•Causal of (rather than simply correlative to) learning.

•Such practices — or behaviors – are organized into 6 domains – or “Power Sources”

At its crux, Power of Teaching is about measurement, development, and support: Measurement of behaviors, development of practices, and support of teachers. Power of Teaching is designed to improve the ratio of effective teacher behaviors to neutral teacher behaviors.


12

Achievement Driven Management

• Support in the use of student achievement data to:

– Assist teachers in planning to meet the needs of individual students

– Determine appropriate interventions to ensure student growth

– Monitor student progress to guarantee that growth targets are met at the individual student, classroom, academy and school level
