“After 30 years of doing such work, I have concluded that classroom teaching … is perhaps the most complex, most challenging, and most demanding, subtle, nuanced, and frightening activity that our species has ever invented. ..The only time a physician could possibly encounter a situation of comparable complexity would be in the emergency room of a hospital during or after a natural disaster”

GOOD TEACHING(The Framework for Teaching)

DEFINING EFFECTIVE PRACTICE

In order to create the conditions for improved teaching, one must first define it. Without such

a definition of good practice, educators are, in effect, wandering in a swamp.

COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING

The Framework for Teaching is Based on Cognitive Engagement and Constructivist Learning.

Develop a definition at your table of Cognitive Engagement?How would you know students are cognitively

engagedWhat is evidence of thinking?

Cognitive Engagement“Proficient” = students must be engaged cognitively

“Distinguished” = cognition, meta-cognition, and student ownership of their learning

Constructivist Learning Proficient practice must have evidence of learning experiences designed to facilitate students construction of knowledge.

PERFORMANCE LEVELS: KEY WORDS

1. Choose any component from the Framework for Teaching. Scan the language used to describe each level of performance.

2. What “key words” would you use to characterize or describe each level?

3. Synthesize your thinking as a discussion pair and choose two key words that represent each level.

USING THE LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE FOR GROWTH

What are some ways teachers can use the levels of performance

to promote their learning and growth?

Lesson planning Self assessment Developing

professional learning goals

Reflecting on teaching and learning

Talking about teaching

TEACHER EVALUATION THAT PROMOTES TEACHER

LEARNING

83

We can apply what we know about

student learning – what causes learning

and what motivates learners

to adult learning.

DEVELOPING EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING

84

To develop and sustain high quality teaching, a school system

must be willing to change the way teachers have traditionally been supervised and evaluated.

REFLECTION……

As you consider the what we have talked about today regarding the framework…..

How might you imagine making use of the levels of performance in your practice?

How might you imagine the level of performance being used in your school?

What dangers might you foresee using the levels of performance?
