1250 students

How the Decision Was Made
BSSD has four School Improvement Grant schools (SIG)
Gambell, Savoonga, Stebbins and Shishmaref
SIG schools are required to implement a new teacher and administrator evaluation instrument.

How the Decision Was Made
We reviewed Marzano’s iObservation, and the Danielson model
We chose Marzano’s iObservation because:a) The instructional professional development from
Marzano’s Art and Science of Teachingb) The embedded video clips of best instructional
practices.c) It’s technology

How the Decision Was Made
One of the biggest factors in our selection of iObservation was it’s coherence with:
a) Anita Archer’s Explicit Instruction
a) CHAMPS from Safe & Civil Schools

Implementation Challenges
Compressed time for implementation due to the length of the SIG grant.
Technology
Training on how to use the instrument for the principals
Designing the evaluation instrument and the calculations for the use of student performance data
Big Picture
Art and Science of Teaching Teacher Growth Model
The Goal: An expectation that all teachers can increase their expertise from year to year which produces gains in student achievement from year to year with a powerful cumulative effect
Research-based strategies have a high probability of raising student achievement if they are used:
• In the part (segment) or type of lesson that is appropriate for the strategy
• At the appropriate level of implementation

High Probability vs. High Yield
There are no high-yield instructional strategies; there are only high-probability strategies. The simple presence or absence of an instructional strategy does not define effectiveness, but it is rather the teacher’s expertise in adapting that strategy to the classroom within the context of lesson segments that produces gains in student achievement.”

FOUR DOMAINS
• The Four Domains of the Marzano Teacher
Evaluation Model contains 60 total elements.• The elements build on each other to support teacher
growth, development and performance. • Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors, which
contains not only the largest number of elements but also those that have been shown in causal studies to have the most direct effect on student performance.
• The 60 elements define the knowledge base for teaching and a framework for the systematic development of expertise.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors (41 Elements)Routine Segments (5 Elements)Content Segments (18 Elements)On the Spot Segments (18 Elements)
Domain 2: Planning and Preparing (8 Elements)Lesson and Units (3 Elements)Use of Materials and Technology (2 Elements)Special Needs of Students (3 Elements)
Domain 3: Reflecting on Teaching (5 Elements) Evaluating Personal Performance (3 Elements)Professional Growth Plan (2 Elements)
• Marzano’s iObservation model contains:
• Goal Setting
• Planning and Reflection Conferences
• Classroom Observations
• Imbedded professional practice videos of good instructional practices
Levels of Performance• Scales: continuum of teaching behavior that documents growth over
time and can be used as a formative feedback tool or a summative assessment. Example from Domain 1: Processing New Information
Innovating (4) Applying (3) Developing (2) Beginning (1) Not Using (0)
The teacher adapts and creates new strategies for unique student needs and situations
The teacher engages students in summarizing, predicting, and questioning activities and monitors the extent to which the activities enhance student understanding
The teacher engages students in summarizing, predicting, and questioning activities
The teacher uses the strategy incorrectly or with parts missing
The strategy was called for but not exhibited

A System of Feedback
Next Steps For BSSD:
Convene a Work Team to revise the student performance data portion of the evaluation instrument.
Expand the use of iObservation from the four SIG schools to the entire district using the CREATE grant.a) 3 year grant
b) Provide The Art and Science of Teaching professional development to the remaining 11 schools
c) Train principals and teachers on the iObservation instrument.
d) Provide ongoing support to the four SIG schools.
