1. Sumner’s TPEP Journey: Artifacts and Student Growth

2. Overview of Sumner’s Timeline
Convened Guiding Team March ‘12
Selected Danielson for Teaching June ‘12
Began Pilot Aug. ‘12
Summative Training next week

3. Big Idea: We Want Growth Process in the Big Font

4. Guiding Team Whole Team: Decisions about Transition Subcommittees:
Artifacts
Student Growth
Training
Logistics/Contracts

5. Artifacts Artifacts: Guiding principles
Key artifacts collected by all (standardized)
Choice artifacts with parameters
Non-artifact evidence included
Teacher reflection and analysis of artifacts IS evidence and is the key to the process

6. Artifact Guide

7. Artifact Guide 8 Required Pieces (high leverage)
5 Choice Pieces (esp. 4C Communicating with Families)
Includes Student Growth artifact

8. Non-Artifact Evidence for 4b-4e

9. Student Growth: Goals
All on Comprehensive set 4 SMART goals based on data and self-assessment in Sept.
1 Component goal (ex. 3b Questioning Techniques)
3 Student Growth Goals (think nested dolls)
PLC Goal (Criteria 8)
Whole Class Goal (Criteria 6)
Subgroup Goal (Criteria 3)

10. Lessons Learned Give more guidance, more models on goals
Defining what we mean by terms like “whole class growth.”
More training/time on goal setting, planning for assessments/data collection and analysis

11. Training Matrix Process Growth Calibration
Teachers and Evaluators together
Unpacking the Frameworks,
Teachscape
Constantly changing, improving; flexibility required
Reflection, Self Assessment,
Evaluator PLC – Collaborative Analysis of Teacher Evals
Everyone contributes to the process
Learning Walks, Learning Centered Conferences
Teachers into other teacher’s classroom, collaboratively analyzing practice on Frameworks

12. Overall Successes
The pilot process has helped us develop the process that we believe will work for the rest
Teachers are seeing examples of how the framework can change thinking about teaching and ramp up performance
Everyone is seeing how the Framework can anchor all of the change initiatives

13. Biggest Challenges
Constant tension between the professional growth vs process/accountability
Transition rate (how much, how fast)
Relevance for all certs; all levels/subjects
Training: When? What? Who? How? B
