This workshop is for teachers wanting to learn how to create a digital repository to show off their craft for teacher evaluation at the end of the year. We will look at each of the NC Teacher Standards and unpack ways for you to showcase your efforts throughout the school year. Artifacts for your Evaluation are an important way for you to showcase all of your hard work. Determine areas you need to work on for improvement and show off your best practices!

teachers will explore nine essential strategies found in Dr. Robert Marzano’s book “Classroom Instruction that Works” and compare the work to John Hattie’s unprecedented meta-analysis of research studies on student achievement, the largest global research base into what actually works best in schools to improve learning: Visible Learning.

• Learning Groups
• Effort and Recognition
• Similarities and Differences
• Generating and Testing Hypotheses
• Objectives and Feedback
• Summarizing and Note Taking
• Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers
• Non-linguistic Representation
• Homework and Practice

We will drill down into these strategies for intensive work that teachers will be able to learn and transfer to their classroom with practical approach techniques, personalized lesson planning to immediately take back to the classroom, and an Edcamp approach to include participant voice and experiences.

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is the umbrella under which all educational practices fall. It has two main pillars: RtI (Responsiveness to Instruction/Intervention) and PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports). These two areas incorporate all academic and behavioral learning.

Learn how to get baseline data and progress monitor your students in the areas of reading and math. Learn about Curriculum Based Measures. Study research based interventions and understand the difference between research based and evidenced based. Understand how to evaluate behavior that supports instruction and learning in your classroom.

We will use a hybrid approach which includes intensive learning, practical approach, and an EdCamp inclusivity to adapt to the needs and wants of educators, making relevant, high quality professional development readily available for all teachers.

Plan to leave with ideas, resources, and a plan for your classroom!
