8. A Common Mission RISE Mission:8
RISE Mission:
Retain effective K-12 public school teachers to elevate student performance in low-income communities.
Haberman Educational Foundation Mission:
The unified and single goal of the Haberman Educational Foundation is to teach and implement research-based models for identifying teachers and principals, particularly educators who serve students at risk and in poverty. Good teachers could give the 15 million children in America who live in poverty at least an opportunity to pursue the American dream. 8

Step 3: Teaching Conditions Survey Data Posted on RISE Network for Job Seekers
Step 2: Partner Schools Reflect, Assess and Act

10. RISE Teacher Selection Problem10
The problem…
Can teach effectively
Right fit
RISE process screens candidates for effectiveness, but…
…principals start here with RISE candidates.
RISE invests time to identify candidates who have demonstrated effectiveness in teaching. We accept about 30% of teachers who apply to RISE.
Yet more than 90% of principals indicated RISE candidates go through the same screening as all other candidates. 10 10

11. RISE + Haberman Solution11
The solution…
2 key ingredients
Can teach effectively
Right fit
Right fit
RISE process screens candidates for reflectiveness and core beliefs…
RISE’s profile questions
Core belief that all kids can learn (Haberman pre-screener)‏
Principals start here
Determine via Haberman or their own interview if teacher is effective
Determine if teacher is the right fit 11 11

RISE Growth
RISE growth = Haberman growth
-Research-based and supported: Extensive research done on Haberman model demonstrates its effectiveness as a selection tool. We know there is also a study currently underway at Harvard specifically on the pre-screener. This is information we will share with schools to help them understand the validity of the model.
-Well-known: Responses from districts and CMO’s we have talked to that are currently using Haberman has been positive. Some of the existing RISE Partner Schools are using Haberman and you have an extensive list of schools/districts that are using it.
-Objective: Schools will look at the candidate for fit with their staff and school model as well as their own specific definitions of effectiveness. This is an objective preliminary screen that evaluates for core beliefs.
-Efficiency: The pre-screener allows us to focus our resources on bringing as many candidates as possible into the RISE Network (rather than evaluating teachers) so both schools and teachers can find a fit that will positively impact students’ learning. 12 12

43. Strategies for Reform
Guilford County (NC) implemented the Haberman Star Teacher and Principal interview as a major part of our hiring process. Both the interview and on-line screener information were used in all hiring decisions. We trained 100% of our principals on teacher selection. 43

44. Results in Guilford County
"It is not enough to attract teachers to low performing schools. You must attract the ‘right’ teachers to those schools--teachers who get academic results. Working with Dr. Martin Haberman and his staff has helped us take the guess work out of teacher selection."
Dr. Terry Grier,Superintendent, Guilford County Schools, Greensboro, North Carolina.(2007)‏ 44

45. Awards to an Effective District
In 2007, Guildford County School District was the highest scoring school district in the state;
In 2007, Dr. Terry Grier was selected “Superintendent of the Year” for North Carolina;

46. Spreading Success to Clarksville,TN
In Clarksville Montgomery County School System, we use the Haberman Star Principal interview as a required interview for all assistant principal and principal candidates. Also, we use the Star Principal interview with our candidates for the Aspiring Leaders Academy, using that information for coaching aspiring leaders to improved performance. We have started to develop modules of training around the leadership functions expected of star principals and found in Dr. Haberman’s work. 46

54. Star Classroom Management Protocol Game
“Will this individual be able to manage a classroom?”
This question can now be answered, to some extent, by data gathered from the “Star Classroom Management Protocol Game.”
In addition, veteran teachers as well as beginners will be able to assess themselves in complete confidence and privacy in order to learn whether or not they have what it takes. If veteran teachers, novice teachers and teachers-to-be can manage the classroom, then they have a chance of sharing their knowledge with children and youth. If they can’t relate to the students and keep them on-task then what they know will never be received or learned. 54

55. The Game is Based on Research
Dreikurs was a well known child psychologist and educator who lived and worked in the Chicago area. His works are numerous and his success with children’s behaviors was legendary.
Dreikurs showed that children respond to their needs based on four categories of behaviors:
Attention
Power
Revenge
Avoidance of Failure 55

56. 56

57. Choosing Strategies
Knowing which strategies will work and being able to expeditiously apply them in situations with multiple overlapping applications is one of the keys to good classroom management.
The gamer can improve by learning more about students’ motivations and by seeing through repetition how the game works. 57

58. How to Play the Game 58

59. Web 2.0 initiatives
Second Life - an opportunity to create awareness - a free 3d platform for online collaboration and teaching - trainers can create environment - participants can have an unprecidented sense of “presence” and “personality”
Facebook - a free tool to raise awareness and track popularity - potentially more inclusive than any other web portal - over 100,000,000 users currently, 1 in 3 people on the web are on facebook.
Wikipedia - free to maintain and further promote the foundation - we have a responsibility to keep it accurate
Linked in - business version of facebook
LearningTown - Hosted by Elliot Masie's company - merges public and private sector – online learning specific 59
