2. Outcomes and Objectives
Outcome:
The FCPS system will develop a common understanding
regarding the Framework for Teaching Rubric and the
Teacher Evaluation System Models.
Objective
Participants will explore the Collaboration Model in
order to gain an in-depth understanding of the model’s
purpose and value.
3. Collaboration
“If there is anything that the research community agrees on, it
is this: The right kind of continuous, structured teacher
collaboration improves the quality of teaching and pays
big, often immediate, dividends in student learning and
professional morale in virtually any setting.”
DuFour, Eaker, DuFour
With your table group, share examples of the “right
kind of structured teacher collaboration.”
4. Structured Teacher Collaboration begins with a goal:
Example: We want to improve our
use of pre-assessment results to
effectively differentiate within the
classroom.
The “right kind of
collaboration” revolves
around a focused goal.
5. Structured Teacher Collaboration
examines data:
Goal: We want to improve our use of pre-assessment results to effectively
differentiate within the classroom.
What data would the team Possible data for this goal:
need to collect to work Student input data
toward this goal?
Pre-assessment data
Student work samples over
time
Post-assessment data
6. Structured Teacher Collaboration is
Analytical:
Examine your timeline.
As a group, determine when the most learning
will occur.
Explain how this model is a powerful vehicle for
professional growth.
7. It’s all about GROWTH!
“Our enthusiasm for working together inspired us to take
risks, analyze our successes and failures, and seek more
opportunities to learn – the same qualities we wanted to develop
in our students.” Teacher

Editor's Notes
Review the outcomes and objectives, reminding the participants that this is a review year for the Teacher Evaluation System. We are in a review year to develop a common systemic understanding of the evaluation system. Today’s session will focus on exploring the three components of the visitation model. 1 minute
Prompt participants to share – what does a the right kind of structured teacher collaboration look like, feel like, sound like.
