However I think they would be evaluated as need improvement. A lot of that class was teacher talk. Even when they were doing an activity. Her instructions were not clear which led to low participation and many confused looking students.]]> 2021-08-04 20:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1669255256 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1669535599 The second grade teacher in the ELA lesson was very teacher focused. She did a lot of the talking and leading throughout the lesson. The ratings correlated as she needed improvement in many domains.]]> 2021-08-05 02:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1669535599 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670253738 I watched the video for 2nd grade spelling and after using the TTESS rubric, I would evaluate her with "Improvement Needed". I think that her lesson was very disorganized and didn't have a clear sequence and as a viewer it was confusing; therefore as a student, I assume it would also be hard to follow. This aligned with the rating that they provided too. I wasn't really surprised by the rating they providing after completing mine because they aligned for the most part. ]]> 2021-08-05 17:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670253738 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670552720 My ratings for the teacher that I watched were very similar to what was given in the evidence rating sheet. I thought the teacher did many things well, particularly the classroom routines, which was one of the domains listed as "distinguished." 

Although this is my first year using T-Tess, my previous district used something pretty similar, so I am feeling pretty comfortable with this new evaluation system so far!]]> 2021-08-06 01:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670552720 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670555090 I observed the middle school evaluation of a mariachi class. Most of my ratings aligned with the official ratings the teacher received from the evaluation. I could tell that the teacher had a great grasp for classroom management and procedures. During the beginning of the video, the class warm-up was student led while the teacher tuned the instruments. This shows that the students know what the correct expectations and behaviors are for the beginning of class. 

It was also clear to see that the teacher had an impressive span of knowledge in his content area. He was able to analyze and adapt his lesson plan to fit the needs of the students. This also shows the planning that went in to differentiating his lessons so that all students were progressing throughout the class. ]]> 2021-08-06 01:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670555090 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670575961 My ratings were pretty close to what the teacher earned. I noticed that most of the lesson was teacher led, and because of that, I rated mostly as developing and improvement needed. ]]> 2021-08-06 01:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670575961 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670659666 teacher needed more improvement on classroom management. ]]> 2021-08-06 03:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670659666 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670669760 2021-08-06 03:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1670669760 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671001888 I watched High School Literature and ranked the teacher accomplished!

So I think the teacher should have used an attention getter to get their focus and remind them of her expectations during a lesson. ]]> 2021-08-06 13:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671049079 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671056840 After watching the 4th grade Character Traits lesson, my observations were aligned with the observer. I agree that she would score proficient on certain domains, and there is room for improvement. I did not hear not see anywhere in the classroom where the lesson objective was stated. The teacher did a good job at aligning the lesson with previous knowledge, but I found her questioning to be surface level and lacking higher level thinking questions. I think she did a lot of the talking whereas next time she could consider letting the kids work in groups without her or more independently. Overall I think she did a good job. ]]> 2021-08-06 13:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671056840 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671067535 My teacher received needs improvement, which was very apparent in the way she taught. ]]> 2021-08-06 13:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671067535 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671069329 I'm glad I got to go through this T-TESS orientation because it shows me what I need to do and how to plan my lessons in order to become a successful teacher.]]> 2021-08-06 13:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671069329 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671069906 This third grade teacher was rated accomplished and proficient during her observation.

I think that the teacher did a good job of incorporating questions but to much of this was teacher talk and not enough student involvement. I wanted to see more movement and engagement.

She was asking a lot of questions, allowed for whole group discussion as well as partners and got a chance to work one on one with each of the students! She also connected the content to things in their everyday life and was constantly checking for understanding!! ]]> 2021-08-06 14:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671080551 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671080829 The ratings were pretty similar to each other. I can definitely tell that the kids are enjoying the material. However, I see where focusing on classroom management could help this teacher. Being consistent would be a great goal going forward and I would talk to her about "shushing" her students and how that could have a negative impact on their learning and brainstorm other attention getters with the teacher. ]]> 2021-08-06 14:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671080829 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671084111 2021-08-06 14:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671084111 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671085593 I watched the second grade video and rated it comparably to the calibration.

Student engagement would be the main facet of improvement. ]]> 2021-08-06 14:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671085593 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671087138 I chose to watch the video of the 2nd grade teacher doing spelling. I thought that the majority of the video was very teacher centered instead of student centered. It seemed a little long for a mini lesson, but it did keep the kids engaged. I think she needs some improvement and reflection on her overall lesson, but she did accomplish her goal. ]]> 2021-08-06 14:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671087138 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671087516 2021-08-06 14:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671087516 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671089077 I matched mostly with the appraiser and agreed that the 2nd Grade ELA (Making Predictions) lesson was rated as improvement needed or developing in all the areas.

Objectives for the lesson were unclear and the transition to small groups and pair work was a bit of a mess.

In the dimension area of instruction 2.3 she needed improvement because she just mentioned the three rules they follow at the beginning of the lesson. She did not go into detail about what theses rules were. I think she could have modeled the expectations for the students better. This could have helped avoid problems with the student who was not engaged with the lesson.]]> 2021-08-06 14:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671095988 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671096245 The teacher worked really well with the student. The student did most of the talking and thinking. It was definitely a student led classroom. I love that she gave the students an opportunity to reflect on their understanding of the days' lesson. I would have scored this teacher as overall accomplished in most of the 4 domains. Students were able to explore and build ideas from one another. The students also were given academic feedback from the teacher consistently. ]]> 2021-08-06 14:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671096245 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671096442 Scaffolding during the warm up while referencing use in 7th grade.

She has the entire class engaged throughout. She gave directions and repeated them to the students. The students could've had more time to speak out loud during the learning process but overall the lesson was well put together and the students were active in the learning process.]]> 2021-08-06 14:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671096515 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671098554 I was mostly matched with the appraiser.

She also made sure the students were able to explain why they were learning what they were and how to use it outside of the classroom.
Because of this, I rated the teacher higher in the communication domain than what she was given by evaluators. ]]> 2021-08-06 14:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671099159 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671099305 My observations were very similar to what was given.

They may have been a little bit harder on the teacher than me. But we identified the same areas where the lesson was rock solid and where there was room for improvement.

This not only helped the students to remember what the concept is about as it relates to this particular lesson, but it ties into ELAR with the use of Greek root words in order to decode meaning from written/verbal language.

I observed the video of the second grade lesson. I would categorized it as developing and needing improving. I have come to this conclusion because the students were engaged some of the time as well as the objectives were not clear from the start. additionally the lesson was very much teacher led rather than giving student led opportunities.]]> 2021-08-06 21:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671369452 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671374716 I watched the 2nd grade "Making predictions" lesson, and I was off a little from what the rater. I noticed throughout the lesson that she kept having to bring her students back. There was a lot of "ShhhShhhing" and that there was not activity for the students to "Do." However I thought she never completely "Lost" her class and most of her students were participating. Looking back at the lesson having read over the rating she was given I can definitely see the areas I which needed to be developed and improved. There was a lot of talking coming from the teacher not as much from the students (regarding the lesson). ]]> 2021-08-06 21:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671374716 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671406134 After watching the lesson, I rated the 7th grade math teacher as proficient. I was not surprised that my rating aligned with the observer. The teacher displayed a thorough knowledge and understanding of pi and circumference. Additionally, the teacher connected the lesson to real world situations. However, the teacher controlled the entire lesson. The lesson was consistently teacher-centered. Observing other teachers helps me identify areas that I can strengthen in my own teaching.]]> 2021-08-06 23:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671406134 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671412123 I watched the HS AP Chemistry Video. In 2.1 Achieving Expectations, I rated the teacher "proficient" because the student set up academic expectations that challenge all students. The rater also rated the teachers 'proficient." For 2.2 Content Knowledge and Expertise, I rated the teacher "Distinguished" the teacher should that she was anticipating common misunderstandings when she would going over gas laws. However, the rater gave the teacher a slightly lower rating of "Accomplished." For 2.3 Communication, I rated the teacher "proficient" The teacher did a good job not only communicating with the students, but the student-to-student communication was also utilized as students were working in pairs. The rater also gave the teacher a "proficient" rating For 2.5 Monitor and Adjust, I also rated the teacher "proficient," and that was the same as the grader.]]> 2021-08-06 23:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671412123 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671438993 2021-08-07 00:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671438993 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671528839 My ratings pretty much aligned with the observer's ratings for the High School Literature (Age of Romanticism) video. I often felt like the teacher in the video was a little too quick at times to move on to the next point, and that he didn't allow for students to complete their thought processing. Hence why he got ratings between accomplished and proficient. ]]> 2021-08-07 04:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671528839 jhadleyw https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671814332 I gave the same rating as the review: accomplished. He had a good classroom culture where many students spoke up and took chances. It was a fast pace, and he didn't do a lot of checking for understanding, so I'm not sure how other students were following along. He spent more time on previous knowledge and less on the new topic, so I was a tad confused which age he was lecturing about: reason or romanticism.

Because the poem they were reading was about stars, his lesson turned into a science lesson, which is good to cross-reference other subjects, but he lost me a few times on how the science related to the poem.]]> 2021-08-07 22:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671814332 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671839139 2021-08-08 00:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671839139 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1671889696 I watched the middle school science video and I gave proficient across the board.

His classroom control was excellent, and I was really impressed that the student procedures ran so smoothly. It was clearly an activity they had done before and were trained to do the steps together. They transitioned smoothly between moving desks and chairs, and they were respectful of each other during the debate. I think all of this indicates teacher control. He was rated accomplished on many of the domains. I think this reinforces that the proficient level is a good place to be, and anything above that is really amazing teaching. ]]> 2021-08-09 00:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672239136 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672296442 2021-08-09 01:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672296442 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672378022 I finished! how can i register for the certificate?]]> 2021-08-09 03:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672378022 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1672573985 I observed the 7th grade physical education section. the way that the teacher was able to get the students involved and had them participation verbally and physically was a great way to keep both bodies involved.

I noticed that the teacher dove right into the lesson without telling the students what exactly they were going to be learning. She gave directions to some transitions, but not in enough detail. For example, "put your papers in your desk". Where in their desk? She also did not let students know they were supposed to be partner reading, so they did not know they were supposed to be doing that. There was no differentiation provided for students who were struggling.]]> 2021-10-04 22:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1791010096 https://padlet.com/cswilliamson/6e0yw8kaxkvqpfdq/wish/1806076852 I watched the third-grade Math Intervention video. I think the teacher did a great job explaining the learning objective to the students in her group. She also did a great job presenting the students with hands-on manipulatives. I did notice that the teacher did not have a formal way of evaluating the learning of the students in her small group. There was not much communication between students, it was mostly between the teacher and student.

I agree with the rating. I did think the type of lesson was required for the topic being taught. Direct instruction is needed when going over vocabulary. I could see an extension activity where students could use their learned vocab to review, but they have to understand the words first.
