The Marzano Framework and the Implementation of the

The Marzano Framework and the Implementation of the KIBSD Certificated Personnel Evaluation and Continuous Growth System Teaching and Learning Support Institute September 17, 2013 Gerry Briscoe, Project Director SERRC Marilyn Davidson, Assistant Superintendent Kodiak Island Borough School District

Session Goals Understand multiple uses of an instructional framework for: Monitoring students for desired effects of research-based instructional practices Observation and feedback for continual improvement of teacher effectiveness through targeted professional development Building a common language of instruction and a coherent aligned system of evaluation for all roles in a district.

KIBSD, 1976 Evaluation of the performance of professional employees of our school district shall be directed toward improving the quality of instruction and facilitating the learning process. Additionally, formal evaluations shall serve as a method for gathering data relevant to subsequent employment status decisions pertaining to the evaluatee. Teaching is a complex act and the procedure to be followed in evaluation can neither be simply determined nor easily administered. Nevertheless, it is recognized that the teacher’s role in the instructional program is of utmost importance and must be maintained at the highest level possible.

Underlying Constructs of the Model We can increase our expertise from year to year and that can produce gains in student achievement from year to year. A common language of instruction is key and it must reflect the complexity of teaching and learning. Focused feedback and focused practice using a common language provide opportunities for growth. The framework is a causal model and when applied with fidelity, expertise will improve and student achievement will grow.

Pre-set Standards-based Instruction, Assessment and Grading based on ideas of Marzano (2009) Redesign of Certificated Job Descriptions (2011 -2012)
