Self-Assessment Worksheet

Each educators evaluation cycle begins with self-assessment. This process should include: o an analysis of student learning, growth, and achievement for students under an educators responsibility o an assessment of practice against performance standards described in the rubric, with a focus on the elements related to district priority areas. Understanding the District Context The district has identified that the following priority areas for impacting student learning and growth: District Priority Increasing Academic Rigor Using Data to Differentiate Instruction Related Element of the Rubric I-A-4. WellStructured Lessons I-B-2. Adjustments to practice Rubric Description of Proficient Practice Develops well-structured lessons with challenging, measurable objectives and appropriate student engagement strategies, pacing, sequence, activities, materials, resources, technologies, and grouping.

Goal Writing Worksheet

By October 1, each educator is responsible for proposing at least: o One goal for student learning, growth and achievement o o o Using baseline student data

One goal for professional practice Written to support the achievement of the student learning goal Linked to an element of the rubric

A best practice is teams of teachers to share a common student learning goal. Each goal will accompanied by an action plan. The same action plan may be used for both goals.

Steps to complete the goal writing process: 1. Create a student learning goal based on the student learning needs. If you do not currently have access to the data that you would want to use, create a draft that could be revised based on additional information as it becomes available. Type: Level: Subject: Subgroup: Assessment: Goal: Student Learning Choose: Team / Individual (If applicable) (If applicable) (If applicable) Suggested template for writing a Student Learning Goal: Based on the fact that _______ (x %) of students currently score ________ on the _______ (assessment), my goal is that by _________ (when) _______ (x %) will score ________ on the same assessment.

2. Create a professional practice goal that would support the accomplishment of your student learning goal. In writing this goal, consider which of the practices defined by the priority elements of the rubric would have the most leverage in achieving the student learning goal. Refer to the next page for examples of professional practice goals that align with the district priority elements. Type: Level: Rubric Indicator: Goal: Suggested template for writing a Professional Practice Goal: In order to _______________, I will ____________________. I will measure my progress toward this goal by ____________. Professional Practice Choose: Team / Individual

Sample Goals
District Priority Increasing Academic Rigor Related Element of the Rubric I-A-4. Well-Structured Lessons Sample Goals Student Learning: Based on the fact that most of my students often give up when they encounter a challenging text, by March 15, 90% of students will demonstrate persistence despite challenges, as measured by both the completion and accuracy of responses to complex text-based questions. Professional Practice: In order to develop and deliver well-structured lessons with increased academic rigor, I will incorporate the close-reading of complex texts into my lessons on a weekly basis. I will measure my progress toward this goal by maintaining a binder of these lessons and corresponding student work samples. Student Learning: Based on the fact that 75% of my students who are ELLs are in my lowest reading group, my goal is that by May, all of these students will demonstrate improvement equal or greater than the class average, as measured by the TRC. Professional Practice: In order to make complex texts accessible to students who are ELLs, I will incorporate daily activities focusing on increasing academic language. I will design close-reading lessons that are scaffolded according to language proficiency. I will measure my progress toward this goal by collecting a sample of these activities and lessons and getting feedback from colleagues at least once a month. Engaging Families, Communitie s, and Partners III-C-1. Two-Way Communication Professional Practice In order to ensure two-way communication with my students families, I will use a combination of letters, emails, and phone calls to reach out to families on a regular basis. I will also invite families to lead or participate in class enrichment activities. I will measure my progress toward this goal by keeping a detailed log of all parent and family communications.

Professional Practice In order to create and monitor progress on a meaningful student learning goal, I will work with my grade-level team to collect and analyze student data biweekly during our common planning time. I will measure my progress toward this goal by maintaining a record of our meeting notes and Worksheetuseful and practical data analysis.
