Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP) Committee Training 2015 1 • Collection of evidence provided by the intern that demonstrates performance of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching (KFfT) that aligns to the Kentucky Teacher Standards; • Grounded in the developmental view of teaching, recognizing that the teaching profession improves after years of study, consultation, and reflective practice; • Designed to support beginning teachers in their development and to focus support through a process that is aligned with PGES; • Provides structure and feedback for continuous improvement through individual goals that target student and professional growth. 2 Participants will: • understand their role as coach and how the role contributes to the success of the intern. • become familiar with KTIP materials and procedures. • develop an understanding of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching (KFfT) and how to evaluate and document teacher progress. • practice scoring videos of teachers demonstrating indicators in Domains 2 and 3. • Develop comfort in the new training materials designed for state-wide roll-out. 3 • Kentucky Teacher Standards are STILL a critical component of the KTIP process! • KTIP is for CERTIFICATION; PGES is for EVALUATION and EMPLOYMENT! • Detailed Crosswalk – Pages 32 – 33 of the Handbook • The Kentucky Framework for Teaching and sources of evidence are used to determine that candidates are meeting the standards at a certain level. • KACI was charged with developing a certification system that was aligned with PGES so that schools did not have to use two different systems. 4 • • • • • Same KTIP Organizer Tasks (Sources of Evidence) Committee Composition Timeline and Required Inand Out-of-Class Time Number / Mode of Observations • • • • Different Collaboration and Leadership Task – replaced with Professional Involvement Log New Rating System (I, D, A, E) No UNIT!

Day 60 = December 3 Day 110 = February 29 Day 140 = April 18 10 • Remember that you can ONLY count a day as instructional if the intern is: (a) performing regular duties in the classroom; (b) participating in professional development as part of regular contract. • Still using August 27 as the Orientation Meeting date, determine the new dates for the end of each cycle if your intern misses the following days: • Sick Days – October 1 and 2, November 9 and 12, January 6, 7, 8 • Snow Days (Not NTI Eligible) – February 8, 9, 10, March 14 – 15 • Personal Day – April 1 11 How’d you do? Day 60 = December 14 Day 110 = March 22 Day 140 = May 11 12 • Assessment during the first two cycles is formative identifying growth areas and giving the intern guidance for meeting the requirements. • Assessment during the third cycle is summative committee members consider the progress the intern has achieved throughout the school year, and make a final decision regarding the intern’s performance on the requirements. 13 Overview – Page 3 Schedule of Activities for the Internship Year – Pages 4 – 5 KTIP Organizer and Checklist – Page 6 Intern Information Sheet – Page 7 14 Addresses the following components of KFfT: • Component 1A – Content and Pedagogy • Component 1B – Knowledge of Students • Component 1D – Knowledge of Resources Initiated prior to the Orientation Meeting as part of SGG development and used for lesson planning for Cycles 1, 2, 3 Context Source focuses on: Content Students Resources Pages 8 – 9 of KTIP Handbook 15 • Addresses the following components of KFfT: Component 1A: Knowledge of Pedagogy Component 1B: Knowledge of Students Component 1C: Instructional Outcomes Component 1D: Knowledge of Resources / Technology Component 1E: Developing Coherent Instruction Component 1F: Designing Student Assessment • Guidelines for Developing Lesson Plan: Learning Targets Pre-Assessment Formative Assessment Resources / Technology Lesson Procedures • Pages 10-11 of KTIP Handbook 16 • Addresses the following components of KFfT: Component 2A – 2E: Domain 2 Component 3A – 3E: Domain 3 • Guidelines for Developing Lesson Plan: Learning Targets Pre-Assessment Formative Assessment Resources / Technology Lesson Procedures • Page 12 of KTIP Handbook 17 Addresses the following components of KFfT: Component 3E: Flexibility and Responsiveness Component 4A: Reflecting on Teaching Completion of Reflection Source of Evidence should: Be based on formative data; Include other student artifacts or evidence; Describe impact of classroom environment and management; Outline any changes to the instructional plan and the reasoning behind the need for change; Explain how the lesson would be modified in the future and a rationale; Identify professional growth needs based on formative assessment data collected.
