Part II Staff Development Outcome Guam High School Results-Based Staff Development Plan Intervention: Teacher Indicators Student Outcome (What do teachers need to know and be able to do?) (What teacher accountability evidence will we accept to verify staff development was effective.) (What do we want students to know, learn, and demonstrate?) Teachers will develop a shared understanding of mathematical problem solving skills using the “Four Step Approach”.. Effective Staff Development Steps Knowledge What you want people to walk away with Teachers will provide samples of student work that are illustrative of their mathematical problem solving skills. Implementation Activities Person/Group Responsable (what we will do ) (e.g., Admin, CSI, ET, Teachers, etc.) Teachers will know and understand problem solving concepts Teachers will know how to use the fourstep approach to problem solving Teachers will become comfortable with looking at student work as a means for improving instruction, Teachers will be able to conduct selfevaluation on how well teachers are teaching the standards and contents through assessment process Administration Instructional System Support Specialists CSI Leadership Team Department Chairs Teachers Documented Evidence ofTeam, Each Step (How do we know this was effective?) Faculty meeting agendas and minutes Staff Development Training Plan and documentation Department meeting agendas and minutes Panther Point Teacher Survey Student Work(s) Problem solving certification from completed online training Students will demonstrate increased proficiency in solving mathematically base problems. Resources Needed Timeline Date/Time (e.g., time, materials, equipment, ISS, etc) (yearly, in the fall, monthly, weekly, in the spring, or specific dates) Training facilitators Lessons and activities that incorporate writing Instructional Aids for problem solving Computers for word processing Internet access to problem solving websites specifically geared to mathematic explanations Internet access to online teacher editions or mathematics-related resources September 2012 to June 2013 Bi-annually (as needed) 1 Model/Demonstrate How this knowledge will be shown to the staff Low Risk Practice with Feedback What will be in place for the teachers to try and how will they receive feedback Exemplary work will be displayed electronically, published, and/or displayed within the building Facilitators will hold in-services and/or conduct hands-on mini-lessons at faculty meetings, department meetings, and dedicated CSI inservice days. Demonstration lessons of crosscurricular math integration for: Literature, History, Science, Geography, Health, Art and Music. Teachers will implement and reflect on lessons that utilize Math problem solving Faculty will hold weekly faculty meetings and department meetings to reflect, dialogue, share and collaborate on experiences, student progress, and Administration Instructional System Support Specialists CSI Leadership Team Department Chairs Faculty meeting agendas and minutes Department meeting agendas and minutes Teacher Lesson Plans Student writing samples Training Presentations and handouts On-line workspace Every Tuesday at for collaborative 2:10pm during work, i.e. meeting weekly faculty agendas, minutes, meetings lessons, student Department work, discussion meetings during posts IRP for 90 minutes each week Weekly faculty meetings, Department meetings Professional development days for CSI Online crosscurricular math integration resources Administration Instructional System Support Specialists CSI Leadership Team Department Chairs Notes and lessons from department collaboration Electronic Presentations and training handouts Student examples On-line workspace for collaborative work, i.e. meeting agendas, minutes, lessons, student work, discussion posts Every Tuesday at 2:10pm during weekly faculty meetings Monthly Department meetings. 2 On-the-Job Practice with Feedback What programs will be in place: Teachers teaching teachers, Mentoring, Paired Learning, etc. Follow-up for Current Staff Collaborative meetings Long-Term Maintenance Plan for New Staff What is in place for long-term maintenance lesson plans that focus on math skills Teachers will mentor and guide peers as needed Faculty meetings will be focused on the identified problem solving strategies to provide feedback on progress as noted through teacher and administration experiences and observations Weekly faculty and department meetings will be regularly schedule to reflect, dialogue, share and collaborate on experiences, student progress, and lesson planning with a focus on improving math skills. New staff will receive on-the-job training, mentoring, and support.
