The document discusses effective teacher evaluation and feedback. It presents the Art and Science of Teaching framework, which includes 10 design questions teachers ask themselves when planning instruction. It also identifies 3 types of classroom instruction segments: routines, content-specific segments, and segments enacted on the spot. The framework provides a common language for supervisors to observe lessons and identify which type of segment is being observed. It also describes what supervisors should look for within each segment type. Overall, the framework aims to provide robust, comprehensive, and accurate feedback to teachers to support their development.

teaching as the basis of feedback

58. Phases of Supporting Effective Teaching
in Every Classroom
- Phase I: The school/district develops a common
“language of Instruction” or uses/adpats someone
else´selse´s
- Phase II: Data is collected from teachers, students,
peers, and supervisors regarding classroom activities.
Teachers enegage in professional discussions regarding
instruction in their classrooms
- Phase III: data is used by teachers to set personal goals
for enhancing their instructional expertise and the
engagement and achievement of their students

create, make sure you keep the three
types of segments in mind:
- Routines
- Segments that adress content in
specific ways
- Segments that must be enacted on
the spot

deals with elaborating on what students have
learned using comparison and contrast
Reaction:Reaction:
(Nov. 5) This took more time than I thought to get
through the comparison activity. It also seemed
harder than it should be.
(Nov. 7) I´m surprised that the kids remembered
what we did 2 days ago about palymomials.
This might have worked better than I thought
65. Protocol for Monthly Reflective
Practice Meeting
- Describe what you were trying
- Describe how well it worked and the evidence for
your conclusion
- Identify aeas of strength- Identify aeas of strength
- Identify areas of weakness/questions
- Someone summarizes the data at the end of each
meeting. Data is aggregated at the school level and
reported at monthly faculty meetings
