Understanding BPS’ Rubric for Effective Teaching
• Structure
• rubric for mccloud video clean.docx
• State Standards and BPS’ Dimensions of Effective Teaching
• Used for…
• self-assessment
• generate goals
• observing practice
• deepen shared knowledge
of proficient practice
Using the Rubric
1. Silently read through each of the performance levels for each
sub indicator
2. As a group choose one sub indicator to unpack
3. On the chart paper provided record possible observable
behaviors (teacher and students actions / practices) for each
rating category for the chosen sub indicator
4. Be prepared to present to the whole group
Application of Rubric
• Consider the evidence (lesson plan, video clip)
• Use the graphic organizer to record evidence you
observe
• surface_area_of_cylinders_lesson_plan2.pdf
• chris mccloud 14 min final.m4v
• After considering the evidence, group members will
use the rubric to rate Mr. McCloud on clarity / focus,
classroom management and alignment and
coherence sub-indicators and support their rating
with evidence of specific behaviors
• Each small group will report back to the whole
group on the rating and evidence
Prioritization
• Each P/H will note the 6 sub-indicators that we
should focus on in BPS
• P/HM will use post-it notes to chart the indicators
they chose
• Table groups will discuss the results of the charts and
be prepared to talk to the larger group the 6
priorities they think BPS should focus on
• Each quadrant group will listen to each table and
then make a recommendation to the whole group
about the 6 priorities
