PPR Goal on Danielson Framework
Staff will continue to develop a shared understanding of instructional excellence by studying Danielson’s Framework for Teaching. Measurable Objective By June 2013, 90% of teachers will have used the Danielson Framework to assess their own instructional effectiveness and set professional goals for improvement. Action Plan Administrators will work with lead teachers in grade team meetings to develop a normed understanding of Danielson’s Framework, with a focus on domain 3D. Admin team (administrators and coaches) will work with a Talent Coach to calibrate a shared understanding of the Danielson Framework and “look fors” when observing instruction Admin team will meet with lead teachers during retreat and lead teacher meetings to provide professional development to lead teachers on the Danielson Framework and improving teacher effectiveness Admin team (administrators and coaches) will meet to discuss goals of a PD plan centered on the Danielson Framework Admin team meets with lead teachers to share the PD plan for the upcoming PLC cycle Lead teacher group meets again to bring resources that will best support the PD plan Lead teachers and Admin Team will provide PD for staff in faculty meetings Lead teachers will each lead smaller groups (PLCs) to collaboratively learn and discuss the Danielson Framework and unpack competencies together Staff will come back together in whole group to watch a video of instruction and apply their learning of the Danielson Framework to take low inference notes and discuss the effectiveness of the teacher through the lens of the Framework Chosen Goal

Course Title: “Diving into Danielson”
Course Description: In this 7-week PLC cycle, the staff at PS 59 will study the Danielson Framework to develop a calibrated understanding of what effective teaching looks like. Because the Framework will be used in September as an evaluative tool, we have decided to use our last 7 weeks to get ahead on this initiative. In this PD course, we will study an overview of the Framework together as a staff, and then will begin to unpack focus competencies in smaller PLCs. Lead teachers will facilitate discussions and teachers will read, discuss, and watch videos together through the lens of the Framework. Essential Questions: How can the Danielson Framework be used to set professional goals that are tied to teaching and learning? How can we improve academic achievement by using the Danielson Framework? What evidence can we implement in our instruction that will meet the criteria of the Danielson Framework What themes in teacher and student behaviors do we notice throughout each domain in the effective and highly effective categories of the Framework? Course Overview

Possible Examples Worksheet (Cont’d)
Competency 3b Using Questioning and Discussion Techniques Effective Highly Effective While the teacher may use some low-level questions, he or she poses questions to students designed to promote student thinking and understanding. Teacher creates a genuine discussion among students, providing adequate time for students to respond, and stepping aside when appropriate. Teacher successfully engages most students in the discussion, employing a range of strategies to ensure that most students are heard. Teacher uses a variety or series of questions or prompts to challenge students cognitively, advance high level thinking and discourse, and promote meta-cognition. Students formulate many questions, initiate topics and make unsolicited contributions. Students themselves ensure that all voices are heard in the discussion. Critical Attributes Teacher uses open-ended questions, inviting students to think and/or have multiple possible answers. The teacher makes effective use of wait time. The teacher builds on/uses student responses to questions effectively. Discussions enable students to talk to one another, without ongoing mediation by the teacher. The teacher calls on most students, even those who don’t initially volunteer. Many students actively engage in the discussion. In addition to the characteristics of “Effective,” Students initiate higher-order questions. Students extend the discussion, enriching it. Students invite comments from their classmates during a discussion. Possible Examples Teacher actions: Student actions: Session 2 Worksheet (cont’d)
