EVALUATING focuses on:
• Aligning practices with a set of standards
• Rating performance according to rubrics

supporting
We do not learn from our
experiences, we learn from
reflecting on our experiences.

Selecting Reinforcements & Refinements
When considering a lesson, which areas of the rubric..
A.
B.
C.
D.
Had the lowest/highest score
Would have the greatest impact on student achievement
Would impact other indicators
Would provide the teacher with the most potential for
growth
E. Can I clearly label through evidence and examples for
improvement
*Don’t choose a refinement that is directly related to the
reinforcement
Reinforcement Plan
1. Reinforcement Objective
Timeline
Action for the teacher to take
Label the indicator from the rubric
Language from a specific descriptor
2. Self-Analysis Question
• Open-ended
• Use language from a specific descriptor to
be reinforced
• Probe for specificity
• Extend thinking
• Be a good listener- Take yourself out of
the conversation. Don’t use “I”
statements.
3. Evidence
• Include judgment free, specific examples of
what the teacher said or did that relates to
the reinforcement objective.
• When possible, provide examples of what
students said and did.
4. Recommend continued use and
elicit feedback
Label the indicator and descriptor teacher
should continue to implement
Pose a question that encourages an explanation
of how this reinforcement impacts student
learning

and apply what was discussed.
• Question the teacher about the positive
things that are happening in her
classroom.
• Provide teacher with scores
Post-Conference Plan

the video we’re going to watch.

these three sentence starters:
1. I like…
1. I wonder…
1. My prediction for this post conference is…
Watch Post-Conference
Thinking about the protocol we’ve discussed
and the elements of an effective postconference…
Jot down examples of these elements that
are present in the post-conference as you
watch it.
Effective Elements
• What are some specific elements of this
post-conference that make it effective?
• What examples do you have of those
components?
Different Perspectives
• Number off at your table
• All even numbers will take the point of
view of the teacher and all odds will be the
evaluator.
• Think of one word to describe your
feelings about the post-conference.
• Share with your table your word and why
you chose that word.
SU HU PU
• How did knowing the protocol benefit the
post-conference leader?
• How did the leader following the protocol
benefit the teacher?
