Lunch and keynote by Charlotte Danielson 12:45-3:30Workshops Connect Promoting Effective Teaching and Professional Learning NJ 20150430 2 Building Educator Expertise with the Framework for Teaching Day One: Choose from the following workshop topics: 11 The Framework for Teaching: An Introduction Jorie Ellis, Portland, OR What is high-quality teaching? How do we capture and understand its complexity? In this session, participants will learn the structure of the Framework for Teaching and its components. You will learn the different levels of performance and how teachers can use the rubrics to analyze practice. Special emphasis will be placed on Component 3c: Engaging Students in Learning. 12 Refining and Enhancing Observation Skills to Support Teacher Growth Peggy Olcott, Playa del Rey, CA One key outcome of observations is to support teacher’s analysis of their practice and promote growth. The kind of evidence collected becomes critical. This workshop builds on participants’ knowledge of the Framework for Teaching in order to refine and enhance observation skills. What constitutes low-inference evidence, and how to minimize one’s own biases and interpret evidence against levels of performance will be explored with applications of these skills through video observations.13 Using the Framework for Teaching in Teacher Prep 13 Using the Framework for Teaching in Teacher Prep Shelly Arneson, Marana, AZ University faculty and those supervising student teachers will benefit from this workshop as we examine the framework from the perspective of teacher candidates and those who supervise and observe them. This session will focus on the four domains (with special emphasis on the observable components in Domains 2 and 3) and the levels of performance, using specific examples applicable to student teaching. In addition, we will share ideas for how the framework might be integrated into education courses and talk about the connections between the framework and current licensure requirements. 14 Collaborative Coaching and Peer Observation Kate Dickson, Portland, OR This session will introduce teachers and school leaders to research-based practices for establishing meaningful collaborative peer coaching and peer observation. Participants will have opportunities to deepen their understanding of peer observation protocols that enhance professional learning, and support effective teaching and learning practices aligned to the Framework for Teaching. 21 The Framework for Teaching: A Deeper Dive Shelly Arneson, Marana, AZ Participants in this session will do a deeper exploration of the components and rubrics of the Framework for Teaching in order to guide instructional improvement. You will learn the interrelationships between domains, the common themes of the Framework, and use the Framework to observe videotaped lessons and gather evidence of practice tied to Framework components. Connect Promoting Effective Teaching and Professional Learning NJ 20150130 3 Building Educator Expertise with the Framework for Teaching Day Two: Choose from the following workshop topics: 22 Student Engagement: The Heart of the Framework Peggy Olcott, Playa del Rey, CA In this workshop, participants will explore the reasons why intellectual engagement is critical to student learning. Opportunities will be provided for participants to develop an understanding and description of “minds on” engagement by experiencing it, through analysis of activities, observing classroom video segments, and analyzing and modifying classroom activities designed for student engagement. 23 Learning Focused Supervision Ron Anderson, Beavercreek, OH Learning Focused Supervision provides principals and supervisors with the skills they need to engage in productive conversations with teachers about their professional improvement. This workshop offers practical tools, focused templates and technical tips for guiding conversations that increase a teacher’s ability to think deeply about their instructional choices. Using the Danielson Levels of Performance as the standard, participants will explore a template for planning conversations as well as a template for reflection, using the data gleaned from classroom observations. Participants will learn a continuum of interactions - calibrating, consulting, collaborating, and coaching - each of which is designed to support a teacher’s thinking and engagement in their own professional development. 24 Introduction to the Framework for Teaching in Special Education Jorie Ellis, Portland, OR Learn the structure, architecture, and vocabulary of the Danielson Framework for Teaching using exemplars from special education settings. Participants will develop awareness of the levels of performance across a variety of disability categories while learning how to use the rubrics to analyze professional practice. Special emphasis is placed on supporting the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in order to enhance attention to component 3c: Engaging Students in Learning. Special Education Scenarios written for each component and level of performance help participants understand, “What would this look like in a special education setting?” Connect Promoting Effective Teaching and Professional Learning NJ 20150130 4 Building Educator Expertise with the Framework for Teaching Conference Session Schedule 11 Monday, June 22 The Framework for Teaching: An Introduction Jorie Ellis 1/2 - 50 12 Refining and Enhancing Observation Skills to Support Teacher Growth Peggy Olcott 13 14 Using the Framework for Teaching in Teacher Prep Collaborative Coaching and Peer Observation Shelly Arneson BD - 70 Kate Dickson EF - 40 1/2 - 50 21 Tuesday, June 23 22 23 The Framework for Teaching: A Deeper Dive Student Engagement: The Heart of the Framework Learning Focused Supervision Shelly Arneson Peggy Olcott 1/2 - 50 BD - 70 BD - 70 Ron Anderson 24 Introduction to the Framework for Teaching in Special Education Jorie Ellis EF - 40 Connect Promoting Effective Teaching and Professional Learning NJ 20150430 5
