I'd like to suggest the addition of the word "Experiences" or something similar in Student-Owned banner. The sole title of "Student-Owned" seems to lack something as I read descriptors. "Experiences" may not be the best fit for what should come after, but it could help us find it.

Relationship Driven - can we change the wording from "supporting the development of the whole student" to the whole child? This takes the focus away from only academic relationships as so many of our faculty are mentors.
I like that it states we will create a culturally responsive and accepting environment - this is a very diverse district.
I like the it states there will be high expectations in character - this is important/
Can you change the photo of the teacher wearing sunglasses? It doesn't seem inspiring to me in comparison to other images.

I would like to see the third bullet adjusted to read "developing a healthy, academic discourse community." As written, it is either not parallel with the other three bullets, or it is only about the teacher communicating and collaborating. I especially like that this document captures "working interdependently in a thriving professional learning community." Consider adding "adjusting instruction as needed in response to formative assessment data" to the Intentionally Personalized section.

I definitely like how Relationship Driven is at the top. I wonder if people will understand "student agency"

 "Building trust and a sense of security and belonging" should be the first item in teaching.  Until a student's basic needs are met they are not ready to learn.

I think the words fun, happy, engaging as mentioned in other posts are important elements missing. Keeping the passion kindled is critical, whether for adults in education or for the students in the system itself, and that is through a fun, engaging, happy system.

I also am not seeing mention of self-reflection, monitoring, evaluation, and making changes/growth as a professional educator - all of which are  important for successful High Quality teaching.

High-Quality Teaching FeedbackThe faculty at KHS was most impacted by the ideas of - Relationships - This was well placed - 1st!  This is the cornerstone of all the other goals.Celebrating growth - even small steps forward create motivation and pride.Support - This pushes teachers out of their comfort zone.  This will benefit students but require targeted PD to develop.Student driven/tailored - Students should own high-quality teaching. Our classrooms need to be tailored to student strengths and learning styles, and they should be safe environments for risk taking. Classrooms should focus on relevance for students, foster a culture of risk taking, and a culture of innovation.Quotes from the staff:“Inspiring a lifelong, insatiable desire to learn - I want to be that teacher!”“This is the teacher I wanted to be 25 years ago when I started!”“Our students need to know it’s ok to be human, make mistakes, and have the opportunity to learn and improve without ridicule.”“This is exciting and purpose-driven.”“This should be the teacher we aspire to be each day!”

I think it's an important distinction that high quality teaching focuses on student growth rather than achievement. Not every student will reach the same level of achievement, but every student can and should be expected to grow from their starting point.

I do believe also that intentionally developing a positive relationship should is key. Teachers need to know their students - respect them as individuals. Let the students know you and respect you also. When students know you care for them; they will want to reach the expectations you have set for them. So, quality teaching should also include some failing forward in an atmosphere where the students feel safe enough to fail, get up and try again.

I like that this profile has a sentence stem at the very top under the heading. I think that the Learner and Leader profiles also need a sentence starter also. And, for consistency's sake, I think they should have the same starter... something like "In Klein ISD, our learners/leaders are..."

Under Student Owned, it says "Fostering a classroom culture of risk-taking, innovation and self reflection".  We need to include this for the teacher as well...teachers should be encouraged to be reflective, innovative and risk taker.

I would consider "Actively culturally aware and responsive... this engages personal responsibility to seek out information and include it in their teaching practices of cultural awareness to students. If it is not taught or incorporated into lessons, it is not likely students in the profile of learner will be provided with intentional instruction to gain skills in this area.

ADD to Relationship Driven:

·        Communicating openly and responding quickly to parent’s questions or concerns

·        Provides a happy, positive, and well-managed classroom

ADD to Intentionally Personalized:

·        Exchanging TIMELY feedback WITH STUDENTS AND PARENTS…..

Teaching does not always happen in the classroom.  Sometimes a teacher must do things "off contract" to build those relationships. Attend a sporting event, a drama production, sponsor a club and get to know your students. Teaching is a love of learning--not a way to get rich. You have to give to receive.

AWESOMENESS!!!  Good specification that High Quality Teaching supports development of Profile of Learner :)   Sense of security and belonging is necessary for all learners, but especially for those who have negative life and school experiences – who especially need targeted supports based on their NEEDS.  Such an awesome Promise!

No significant learning can take place without a significant relationship (Comer).  This is so true.  Students that behave one way in one classroom and totally different in another classroom because of the relationship that has been built.
Skillfully empowers student agency - not sure that any student at any grade level is going to know what this means.

It looks great. Since we want our kids to be Forever Learners, the HQT must ask/tell/mention that teachers should model "embracing challenges and failing forward"

I love the fact that it starts with "relationship driven" because that is the cornerstone of all teaching endeavors. I would love to see something about creating a supportive community of learners within the classroom. The teacher should support the students but the students also need to support each other!

I love it! Each student who enters our doors is unique and different. They come from different backgrounds, have different needs and have different learning styles. You can no more cookie cutter their education anymore than you can cookie cutter their lives. Making education more personal will give each student a sense of pride and purpose. It will excite them as they see their successes and motivate them do to so much more. This document embodies the type of educational experience that I want my grand-daughters to have when they enter school.

When offering students a high quality teaching experience, I think it is important for them to know where they are going. Which begs the question, should objective or goal be included in the characcteristics, perhaps under the Results Focused section.

Targets are important, not just to be on the board but as a way to drive instruction the entire class and ensure student ownership of the the learning because they know where they are supposed to go.  I also feel that for effective targets to be created teachers need to have an understanding of what the learning need to be (maybe not content experts but at least knowledgeable enough to make sure students are reaching the target and what the target actual is)

High Quality Teaching should include clear learning targets that are known by all teachers and learners. This is the goal and focus of the lesson, class, professional learning, etc. Without this, growth cannot be monitored.

# data[].attributes.body
Important that goals are indicated and clear regardless who the teacher is (student, teacher, admin)

This is the best document thus far!

What is the clear learning target? it is not discussed on the document. I think it is imperative for all teachers to know that a clear learning target is there. Maybe added to "results focused".

It seems that both profiles and this definition are well thought out documents as long as they are taken in a positive light.   It is not like a legal document where someone also has to say what it is not.

In reading through the High Quality Teaching criteria I absolutely love that it starts with “relationship driven.” I think that is necessary for quality teaching. I like each bullet point within that category and appreciate that the focus is on supporting the development of the whole student, while building trust and a sense of security and belonging. I also like that it states a highly qualified teacher intentionally personalizes the learning process for each student. I think this plan fits in very well with the idea of Promise to Purpose because all the above sections will in turn create a student that is a lifelong learner with an insatiable desire to learn. (Something I hope for my own son!)
