1. Determine the purpose of the work that ties directly to student learning. (Due date: October 1st)
a. What is the goal for student learning?
Our goal is to improve student learning through observation of our co-teachers, both in our discipline
and other specialist areas. Through this process we will be able to implement new teaching strategies
that can be used in all of our unique K-4 classrooms.
b. How does the goal connect to our district goals?
● District Goal: Engage all students in construction of knowledge through the use of disciplined inquiry to produce discourse, products, or performances
that have value beyond school.
Because we all teach different content areas, we are focusing on 21st century skills and classroom
management strategies that will enable the students to be successful beyond the classroom.
b. What can you learn when you analyze the student work?
We will observe and discuss commonalities and differences as well as things we observed that we
can incorporate into our own classrooms- that we see when we watch our colleagues teach two times
this trimester.
Requested support:
TQPD funds requested: Cost for a half day sub to observe in specialist classrooms.
5. Revisit student work to measure students’ growth. (Due date: April 30)
a. What was the impact of your work on students?
b. What did revisiting the work teach you?
