Lorna's Goal

Here is the goal that I am planning to use this year.  I say "planning" because  Westside is one of the schools working with William and Mary to pilot the goals for the state this year.  Mr. Williams approved my goal contingent upon the staff from William and Mary's approval.  We are waiting to hear whether they feel that mentors need to use student data (just like the teachers) or if the teachers count as our students.  So.... here is my brainstorm.  I'll let everyone know if we get any feedback from William & Mary.

What is everyone else thinking about using?

Initial Goal Submission (due by 9/30 to the evaluator)

I. Setting (Describe the population and special learning circumstances)	I work at a Pre-K – 5 urban school with 46 classroom teachers.  21 of those teachers are within their first 3 years of teaching and are therefore on my mentoring caseload.  7 of those teachers are Probationary 1, 9 are Probationary 2, and 5 are Probationary 3.
II. Content/Subject/Field Area (The area/topic addressed based on learner achievement, data analysis, or observational data)	RCPS Teaching Standard 3:  Planning, Delivery, & Assessment of Instruction.
III. Baseline Data (What is shown by the current data?)	7 probationary teachers will complete the RCPS Rubric for Assessing Teaching Behaviors as a self assessment during September, January, and March. Total of 36 possible points. Of these 7 teachers  ______ self assessed their practice as an average of 3 (Proficient:23 – 32 points ) and ______ self assessed their practice as an average of 2 (emerging:14 – 22 points).   Data attached
IV. Goal Statement (Describe what you want learners/program to accomplish)	For the 2011-2012 school year all teachers will make measureable progress in Standard 3 teaching behaviors as measured by self assessments on the RCPS rubric for teaching behaviors.  Teachers who self assessed as an average of 2 (emerging) will be at least an average of level 3 (proficient).
