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

Class Profile tool empowers Resident Educators with the
information necessary to create a class profile to inform their understanding
of the students’ varied learning needs.
The Intentional Instructional Grouping tool allows
Resident Educators to use data to
intentionally group students for various activities
specific to students’ learning goals.
This data tool allows Resident Educators to identify a
limited number of students and
monitor their learning in depth.

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?

…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
