Good Afternoon I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s about time to wrap up the year, which means that we have to prepare for and scheduled our summative evaluation conferences. At this point, with the exception of Anne-Marie Szerejko and Kristin Novak, I have completed the required three informal observations or one formal observation depending on which cycle you’re in. Please double-check your portfolio in EdReflect to make sure that I am accurate. In addition to the observations I have already conducted, I am willing to conduct an additional formal or informal observation. While not required, please email me if you would like me to conduct an additional observation. We need to do few things in order to prepare for the summative conference: …show more content…
End-of-Year Summative Review (on or before the last teacher day): Teacher self-assessment – (the submission of which is due to the evaluator five (5) working days prior to the end-of-year conference). The teacher reviews and reflects on all information and data collected during the year related to the goals and completes a self-assessment for review by the evaluator. This self-assessment may focus specifically on the areas for development, referencing the Connecticut Common Core of Teaching (CCT) Rubric for Effective Teaching (2014), the Common Core of Teaching Rubric for Service Delivery (2015) and established in the goal-setting conference. a. The self-assessment should address all components of the evaluation plan and include what the teacher learned throughout the year supported by evidence and personal reflection. The self-assessment should also include a statement that identifies a possible future direction that is related to the year’s outcomes. b. End-of-year conference - The evaluator and the teacher meet to discuss all evidence collected to date. The teacher and evaluator will discuss the extent to which students met the SMART goals and how the teacher’s performance and practice focus contributed to student outcomes and professional growth. Following the conference, the evaluator assigns a summative rating and generates a summary report of the evaluation before the end of the school
Course Self assessment procedure is a strategic management approach from the top to bottom to satisfy merely policy procedure (OFSTED inspection grades).
i. Reflection: This section will include a brief reflection on how assessment will help inform you of your students’ achievement of the learning objective, as well as how it will inform your future
Stated in the school improvement plan at the end of every section is a list of assessments for monitoring student progress and evaluating the effectiveness of
Teachers should begin to selecting evaluating techniques as soon as they identify their instructional goals. (Oliva, 2013 p. 310) The classroom teacher must answer questions such as: What are the objectives to be accomplished based on instruction, what topics to cover, what procedures for best direction for learning and who do we evaluate learning (Oliva and Gordon p.247)
Our professional development sessions are conducted weekly in a variety of subject areas, and the monthly school-wide session, using interactive reform activities, align with the Danielson Framework for Teaching (Danielson, 2013) to showcase best practices of teachers and to develop grade-level performance tasks, looking at students’ work to provide individual feedback that is aligned with the teaching rubric in order to show academic progress and growth in the target areas of ELA and Math.
Describe, use and evaluate two different assessment activities used to check the learning of either individuals or a group of learners. Analyse the purpose of assessment and produce a written justification of your chosen assessment method. Use an extract from your teaching practice portfolio and reflect on how your feedback has informed your learners progress and achievement and how feedback from others has informed your own professional practice.
Along with learners PDR’s, the teacher will also assess the effectiveness of their teaching as each lesson goes by. This can be done through all forms of assessment, with the teacher evaluating their session judging on the understanding from each learner from that particular lesson. This will allow room for improvement or change of teaching style for further development within the group. This will all be noted in the ‘Actions for Development’ section of the evaluation page of the session plan.
The first way of evaluating performance may be through self-evaluation, either via a reflective journal or by writing an evaluation on a lesson plan or scheme of work. After each lesson I deliver, I write a short evaluation which has
First of all, continual feedback allows teachers to self-reflect on best practices. For example, a teacher can target his/her areas of weakness in order to grow professionally and gain further insight of best practices. Another benefit, of teacher evaluations is higher student success rates. These, for example, are measurable through district assessments and state standardized assessments. If a teachers success rate has significantly improved through modification of practices, T-TESS has served its intended purpose. Finally, yet another benefit of teacher evaluations is the fact that the educator is an active participant in his/her evaluation process. For example, through goal setting, the educator is allowed the opportunity to decide where he/she want to grow. Through the evaluation cycle and the communication therein, the appraiser and educator both take greater responsibility in understanding and meeting established goals. Finally, at the end of the process, student growth is an indicator of a well-developed and integrated evaluation system. These are but a few of the many benefits reaped from an evaluation systems such as T-TESS (TEA,
Regular content assessment reports are conducted and those reports are collected and discussed. Feedback and necessary changes result from the reports. The purpose of the reports is to determine what is successful and what is not, and then evaluate why; they demonstrate where the weak areas of the course are, and how they could be modified (Banta, Trudy, Jones, & Black,
In my assessment these students will be evaluated consistently my me and the instructors at Hillcrest elementary school. The students will be evaluated on how to continue his/her next steps within the school. Input will be given to the student at the school for data so they can learn more by adapting to their own personal experiences. I will first do a walk-thru of the classroom in starting my assessment. I will visually be able to check on my student’s progress and really understand the students. Next I will use a checklist to compare and see if the student is progressing or not. Criticism feedback won’t be seen as a problem but would be seen as a guide to understanding and achievement inside of the classroom. Lastly and most important I will give out a summative assessment to assess the knowledge of problem solving skills. The specific end goal is to persuade students to become long lasting learners inside and
What is the purpose of initial assessment and what kind of methods could be used? Evaluate these methods with reference to the ways they can help in the overall objective of achieving learning goals. How can you ensure learners are kept motivated and working towards these goals?
Porter, perhaps this has been one of the highest rework percentages since you started working in our team. For the month of January you also had a very high rework percentage. Your new 12 month average is 11.4%. Porter, this kind of performance needs to stop immediately. I am extremely concerned about your overall performance. Your whole house in compliance is 93.8% and your whole house and range is 86.9%. This percentages are perhaps also some of the lowest in our team. Your new yearly averages are 92.7% whole house complaints and 86.2% whole house in range. I know you have expressed concerns about your iPad not working and contribution to the reasons of the low scores. However you had the opportunity to correct any possibilities that may
Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science. Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future.
Assessment enables educators to provide feedback to their learners, this in turn promotes self-evaluation by the learner, as they use the assessment feedback to scrutinise and make judgements about the quality of their work (Spiller, 2009:6 & 7).
