Each One of You Is Part of A Bigger Picture HD1 and HD2 Master Teachers Each One of You Is Part of A Bigger Picture

The Vision 2008 - 7 years ago - Early Connections Then came budget cuts Graduation Rate Student Achievement Research and Supports Afterschool, Master Teachers, Professional Development Professional Learning Communities Student-centered, problem-based classrooms Engagement through inquiry 2010 through present - 5 years ago – Math and Science Partnership Teacher Content Knowledge Master Teachers Targeted PD – job-embedded Student-centered classrooms (PBL/Inquiry Learning)

The Vision Other content areas ELA Master Teachers and Grade Band Teachers – Standards Support, Common Assessments, Unit Development 2011 by 2013 district-wide - TAP – The Wagon to carry it all. Master and Mentor Teachers (observations, coaching feedback, and reflection) Professional Learning Communities (Cluster) Action Research Data Analysis and Informed Decision Making 2014 Social Studies (and Science) – High Progress Literacy Read To Succeed and Reading Coaches 2014 Common Core State Standards for ELA and Math, ACT Aspire 2015 SC CCR Standards for ELA (Inquiry Standards) and Math (Mathematical Practices), New Science Standards, Expanding STEM (iTEAMS) and HPL, Engineering Practices, New State Assessments

Changes in PLC and Peer Coaching MSP Math and Science Master Teacher Job Description The duties and responsibilities of all Math and Science Master Teachers include but are not limited to: Providing hands-on mentoring to peers Helping individual schools reach learning objectives throughout the school year Gathering curriculum resources for colleagues Modeling and/or team teaching best practices Crafting conversations with colleagues in order to encourage buy-in to new practices and procedures Gathering evidence from classroom observations Providing feedback from observations and through coaching Pushing great practice and best practice usage and implementation

Changes in PLC and Peer Coaching Observing and working alongside colleagues Developing school and individual action plans detailing teacher-practice and student-learning goals Developing and providing PLO targeted to individual and school needs Meeting regularly with teachers and school/district leaders to review progress, analyze data, and hone techniques Providing data and instructing on how to use data effectively to target areas of need and developing strategies to grow Communicating schoolwide data trends in conjunction with school-based data team Helping improve teacher-teacher collaboration and instruction Helping teachers make adjustments Serving as a liaison between teachers and other district leaders Unpacking curriculum standards and Objectives Communicating state requirements and amendments Developing and sharing new teaching techniques and strategies Recording and documenting interactions with assigned teacher groups
