Student Growth

Instructional Practice

Instructional Practice is where classroom observations and

feedback are provided to teachers throughout the

year.

Why do we need Deliberate Practice?

5


WHAT IF?

What if every teacher engaged in a self assessment of their classroom practice?

What if the Individual Professional Development Plan was aligned to the teacher evaluation system to help teachers measurably improve the Instructional Practice score?

6


IPDP statute 1012.98(4)(b)5• 3(b) Each school district shall develop a professional

development system as specified in subsection (3)…. The professional development system must:

• […]• 5. Require each school principal to establish and maintain

an individual professional development plan for each instructional employee assigned to the school as a seamless component to the school improvement plans developed pursuant to s. 1001.42(18). The individual professional development plan must:

– a. Be related to specific performance data for the students to whom the teacher is assigned.

– b. Define the inservice objectives and specific measurable improvements expected in student performance as a result of the inservice activity.

– c. Include an evaluation component that determines the effectiveness of the professional development plan.

Table Exercise

Instead of creating a new thing, how do we take advantage of the IPDP to improve it into a high leverage process that:

1. Empowers teachers?

2. Generates measurable improvements in teacher practice?

3. Helps teachers raise their Instructional Practice Score?

8

1.877.411.7114


The Deliberate Practice Plan may be used as an option for districts in place of their current IPDP if:

• Districts follow the FLDOE-approved model as presented

• At least one of the Deliberate Practice growth targets is developed with consideration of appropriate student growth data

What is Deliberate Practice?

10

1.877.411.7114


Deliberate Practice

Deliberate practice is a way for teachers to grow their expertise through a series of planned activities, reflection, and collaboration.

Involved in the series is a protocol: • setting personal goals, • focused practice, • focused feedback, • observing and discussing teaching, and• monitoring your progress

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

Fundamentals of Deliberate Practice

Deliberate Practice begins with empowering teachers!

• Teachers should take the lead in identifying their personal growth goals, and collaborate with their principals on their goals.

− Principal must approve the IPDP

• Deliberate Practice should be structured, resourced and monitored by the principal.

Recapping the Benefits of Deliberate Practice

• Empowers teachers to take responsibility for their own professional growth and development

• Generates sources of evidences for other domains (planning/preparing, reflection/professionalism, etc.)

• As teachers increase their effectiveness with target strategies, it tends to lift their overall teaching

Develop a deliberate practice implementation plan:• Communication and buy-in from what stakeholders?• Impact on current teacher evaluation policies and

procedures?• What training and resource needs are there to

implement?• What expectations need to be set with central office,

principals, and teachers?• What timeline milestones need to be determined?

5 Steps to Calculate the Deliberate Practice Score

District or teacher identifies target strategies following district policiesStep 1

Obtain at least 2 data points for each target strategyStep 2For each element, determine the number of growth levels from the first data point to the last data pointStep 3Use the average growth level and the final data points against the scale to obtain the Deliberate Practice Score for each target element

Step 4Average the Deliberate Practice Scores for each target element for the final element score.Step 5

1.877.411.7114


Teacher identifies the following targets:– Domain1

• #1 Providing clear learning goals and scales (rubrics)• #2 Tracking student progress• #3 Celebrating success

Example Step 1 District or teacher identifies target element(s) following district policies

Two Options:

• Score as “Unsatisfactory” – 1 Point

• Score as “Unsatisfactory,” but allow for one target element with no growth to be “forgiven” if multiple elements were targeted

Considerations:• Deliberate Practice is added to the

only adds to the Instructional Practice score; it is not punitive

• Top scores are possible without growth in Deliberate Practice

• High reward for high growth• More teachers will rank higher on

the performance scale

• Top scores are not possible without growth in Deliberate Practice

• Reward for high growth and high status score
