Continuum Protocol

Continuum Protocol Teachers’ informal knowledge and assessment of student learning is the most reliable means of measuring student growth and should play the largest role in assessing students. Formal, standardized assessment of student learning is the most reliable means of measuring student growth and should play the largest role in assessing students.

Continuum Protocol If the test is a good test, then teaching to the test is just good teaching. Teaching to the test is detrimental to student learning.

Continuum Protocol Regular assessment ensures that English Language Learners are not left behind in the teaching of content and English. Regular assessment is an impediment to ensuring that English Language Learners learn content area material and English.

Continuum Protocol Student achievement data is a good indicator of teacher quality. Student achievement data doesn’t reflect teaching quality.

Data Wise Improvement Process

Data Wise Self-Assessment: Focus on Organizing for Collaborative Work Identify 1-2 supporting practices in place & going well at your practicum. Identify 1-2 supporting practices that, if implemented or improved, would increase adult and student learning at your practicum.

Data Wise Self-Assessment (2 min each) Share a practice already in place (2 min each) Share a practice that, if implemented or improved, would increase adult & student learning Identify volunteer for consultancy (5 min) Reflect/Journal: What are high leverage next steps for practicum site? What would you do to improve how school is organized for collaborative work? Consultancy with colleagues

Data Display Workshop Groups of 4 (20 min) Choose 1-2 of the displays in the packet to examine Follow the prompts Split into partners (5 min each) Share PAL 1 data How would you (or did you) tell a story with this data?

Preview next class 11/11 – no class at HGSE 11/18 Volunteers to share action planning process next class? Opportunity to think through assignment #2 Sarah’s goal = return papers (all at same time) by 11/18 Remember: Make-up class on December 3rd, 5-8pm
