1. What are some important steps in interpreting data from high stakes assessments? In order to make assessment data useful teachers must understand what information is being reported and determine if additional information is necessary to understand student performance. Specifically, for assessment results for students with disabilities, teachers would have to identify what accommodations were being used.
Assessments are a teacher’s tool that builds a profile on student’s growth and are the “tell-tell” detectors that provide the with teacher information on a student who may need additional services in and beyond the
In the classroom, teachers need feedback that puts them on a path for growth of their content and pedagogy. Being able to support with math Instructional Guides, Curriculum & Quarters-at-a Glance and Impactful Practice is part of the process to high impact on learning. My eighteen-year career experience in the classroom and as a Math School Based teacher Leader has giving me the experience to facilitate the process. Leadership teams at the school level and leadership teams on a District level require to be part of the educational process for success.
In discussing the evolving role of the principal with my assistant principal Kelly Romasco, I learned that data is one of the most important tools that the administration can use. When I asked her in what way the focus has changed the way she works with teachers, I expected her to talk about student data and achievement. Instead she talked about how she uses data on the teachers, especially with their previous “walk-throughs” and observations. She explained that she was as interested in the growth of the teachers as she was with the achievement of the students. This shocked me because when I think of data in education, I immediately think of test scores.
Lastly, there needs to be a connection between faculty and their students. Hrabowski emphasizes the importance of professors knowing their students to understand their progress and standings within the class. It is essential for faculty to put in the extra effort needed to help their students succeed. Hrabowski concludes his
The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.
ELCC 5.1 states that leaders act with integrity and fairness to ensure the success for all students; therefore, as an educational leader I will have to practice demonstrating principles of integrity and fairness, and know the federal, state, and local policies, guidelines and procedures. I will have to plan, implement, and evaluate policies and procedures within the school in order to support the student’s success. Data is an easy way to assess student learning, and to ensure teachers are following the policies and procedures that are in place through the federal and state guidelines. As a leader, I will need to improve on my knowledge of the laws that are in place (which are is also stated in ISLCC standard 6), and research the best ways to assess my teachers and students according to these
In developing a framework to be effective in a data-driven instructional environment, a leader would be actively involved in the instructional program in order to set expectations for improvement. A valuable leader of a virtual,
Fighting in World War I was one of the most brutal wars ever known. This was because of the new technology advancements during this time. The way wars were fought changed significantly. In my opinion, the variety of changes have a negative influence. The negative influences continue to impact our world to this day.
The data gathered from
She is Marnelli Bautista, a good friend since 2007. She grew up in Saudi Arabia, the reason for having good command of the English language. Pair it up with random thoughts… That was how she came up with her songs. Which I think is pretty amazing.
The Director of Education will also be responsible for teacher training and supervision, curriculum evaluation, and continual engagement with parents and students. Responsibilities: Create and administer a comprehensive and successful curriculum that adheres to academic standards and promotes challenge-based learning. Train and monitor teachers to ensure the curriculum is delivered successfully and consistently.
This monitoring is used to determine changes in how the child is taught, continuing progress monitoring throughout instruction and evaluating the changes. Involving the parent throughout the process and following the timelines of IDEA 2004, unless both the parent and teacher agree to
I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.
Teachers are the life-blood of school districts across the United States. They are masters of their specific grade-level content and work tirelessly to manage the learning and well-being of their students. Teachers are the academic leaders of the learning environment within their classrooms and collaborate with their students throughout the year in order to facilitate learning, and foster creativity and problem solving. However, over the last thirty years, teacher leadership has taken on a whole new meaning.
