Why SMART Goals? Goals that state a Desired Future Achievement v. SMART Goals assist in “getting focused” v. SMART goals help define exactly what the “future state” looks like v. SMART goals measure the progress of achieving the “future state” v. SMART goals demonstrate how work “aligns” and relates to overall focus 25

SMART Goals S – Specific M – Measureable A – Attainable R – Realistic/Relevant/Results Oriented T - Timely

How To Write SMART Goals S - Specific • Well Defined, the outcome is clear • Clear to ANYONE who has basic knowledge of the project • Provides enough detail so there is no indecision as to what is to be done Poor Example I will lose weight. 25 Better Example I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10, 000 steps a day.

How To Write 5 – W’s SMART S - Specific Who is involved? When will the goal be achieved? 25 Goals What do I want to accomplish? Where will the action take place? Why is this goal important? For Educators link to the bigger picture – school goals/climate.

How To Write SMART Goals M - Measurable • • Know if the goal is obtainable and how far way the completion date is Know when it has been achieved Identify the measurement instrument to be used Able to determine if it has been achieved because you can count it or see it Poor Example I will lose weight. 25 Better Example I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10, 000 steps a day.

How To Write SMART Goals M - Measurable How Many? How Much? To What degree? 25 How will I know when it is accomplished?

How To Write SMART Goals A - Attainable • Agreement with all the stakeholders what the goals should be • Achievable a goal may be a stretch, but is possible with the current team and resources • Clearly defined steps Poor Example I will lose weight. 25 Better Example I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10, 000 steps a day.

How To Write SMART Goals R - Realistic • • Who is the main person responsible? Who are the support people? What are the urgent needs? The goal is aligned with the results expected and the direction provided by the district CSIP and building goals. Poor Example I will lose weight. 25 Better Example I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10, 000 steps a day.

How To Write SMART Goals T - Timely • A specific date has been set for achieving the goal • Time is appropriate for keeping goal performance focused and on target Poor Example I will lose weight. 25 Better Example I will lose 5 lbs by June 1 by eliminating sugar from my diet and walking 10, 000 steps a day.

Effective teaching is a dynamic mixture of expertise in a vast array of instructional strategies combined with a profound understanding of the individual students in class and their needs at particular points in time. Berliner in Marzano (2007) The Art and Science of Teaching

Instructional Planning: Cycles 1, 2 & 3 Translate data gathered into action Action influences instruction Explore the “thinking behind the thinking” in instructional planning Reflect on the lesson after the instruction Examine student work to monitor student learning

The Power of Connection and Reflection

Reflection and Revision: Analyzing Individual Student Work enables resident educators to examine their practice through the indepth analysis of the two students they previously identified in the Monitoring of Student Learning protocol. Multiple sources of student artifacts should be collected to support the analysis of each student’s work.

Review Your Formative Progress Review

1. Review the highlighted questions found on Instructional Cycle 1 2. Next, using your lesson plan or a plan that has been provided to you begin the reflection process. 3. Record your responses to the Instructional Cycle Document. Use paperpencil or electronic version.

Guiding Questions for Examining Student Work Is the work good enough, that is, does it meet our expectations for high quality work? What is “good enough, ” and how can we illustrate good work for students? What do the students’ responses indicate about the effectiveness of a prompt or assignment? Have you attempted this task as written? How might this assignment be improved to support high-quality student performance? What does the work tell about how well the student understands the topic of the assignment? How does the range of work from a single student demonstrate growth in (_____) over time? To what extent is the student challenging him-or herself? In what ways? Are there patterns and trends that relate to the class profile information? How will this information be used in future lesson and assessment design? From Looking Together at Student Work by Blythe, Allen & Powell (1999)

How much of her preparation was listening to advice and being mentored, and how much was her own individual reflection, study and planning? What evidence do you have to support that Mona Lisa knows her subject content? Trace Mona Lisa’s action plan according to Bloom’s Taxonomy. What was the level of learning that the students had mastered in video clip #1? Where does Mona Lisa take them according to Bloom’s? What is the students’ immediate reaction? How can I be a better educator today than I was yesterday?

…How can we be reflective practitioners if the experience from which we’re supposed to be learning disappears from view as soon as it happens? …an answer to this question is “artifacts. ” Artifacts are things– objects, tools, instruments– that human beings construct because they are needed but don’t exist in nature. Constructing an artifact is by definition an unnatural act. And yet, I would argue that artifacts are the key to learning by experience. Lee Shulmann (2002) Forgive & Remember: Launching the Next Generation of Teachers

Both the support of teacher development and the evaluation of teacher performance require evidence of practice…. Conversations about teaching must be grounded in actual events, in actions or statements, in artifacts, or in decisions teachers have made. Without such grounding, impressions of teachers’ skills are based entirely on the observers’ own idiosyncratic views of teaching and their understandings of what has occurred and what those events mean…. Mentors and coaches, no less than evaluators, depend for their work on evidence of practice. Charlotte Danielson (2008) The Handbook of Professional Practice
