WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

We will focus on academic alignment: the standards, the verbal delivery of the teacher, the materials being used, the activity being facilitated, and the assessment provide to the students.  Is there direct alignment How do we know?  Why is direct alignment so important for student achievement and teacher effectiveness?

We will break down the look for priorities in a classroom observation for all staff members, how to construct an observation feedback form and the most effective ways to have constructive conversations on areas of improvement and areas of celebration.

We will examine state standard examples from all content areas, including, Science, Mathematics, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Physical Education, Computer Science, Health, World Language, and Fine Arts.  This focus will include breaking down the depth of each standard, understand the specific areas of each standard and how to assure each student is obtaining proficiency within each standard.
