Technology, however, makes it possible to record, retrieve, and evaluate entire portfolios of student work, daily and weekly learning outcomes, and a host of teacher practices and behaviors, all of them able to be analyzed, reviewed, and discussed at multiple points during the school year — and indeed over multiple years.
Factors affecting the impact of professional development programs on teachers» knowledge, practice, student outcomes & efficacy.
It adds teachers are expected to be active researchers who reflect on their practice in relation to student outcomes.
But edtech innovations hold real promise for improving student learning outcomes if education leaders use them to redesign classroom and school models in ways that transform teachers» instructional practices.
When teachers and school leaders can collaborate on curricula, instructional practice and assessments, it leads to better outcomes.
Indeed, our review findings would suggest that if professional development is explicitly focused on improving an observed teacher practice instead of being focused explicitly on addressing a pupil need, then it is less likely to be effective at improving outcomes for students.
In theory, classroom observations allow teachers to be more discerning about their own practice, and their improved practice will yield improved student outcomes.
Proponents of coaching - based supervision contend that, when separated from evaluation practices, coaching provides a «safe place» for teachers to learn and practice new skills and reflect on outcomes — while still drawing upon observation, feedback, and other common supervisory practices (Joyce & Showers, 1982, p. 6).
On the other side, from this point of view, are those who are «soft»: people who are opposed to measuring outcomes, who in theory want to empower teachers but in practice want to support a failing status quo.
This product helps teachers... Plan to spiral the ELA standards Identify standards to reteach based on results Align instruction and strategies with desired learning outcomes Practice backward planning from assessments.
From our perspective, it is crucial that teachers become applied researchers in their work — that they always gather data and reflect on the outcomes of their teaching practices — and not just follow recipes that someone else (including us) provides.
If micro-credentials end up just modularizing and digitizing current approaches to PD — or, worse yet, focus on practices unlikely to boost student outcomes — then they will miss the ultimate mark of improving teacher effectiveness and student outcomes.
In Kelly School, which is discussed in the book, these characteristics were built through a set of interrelated organizational routines including close monitoring of each student's academic progress, an explicit link between students» outcomes and teachers» practices, weekly 90 - minute professional development meetings focused on instructional improvement, and the cultivation of a formal and informal discourse emphasizing high expectations, cultural responsiveness, and teachers» responsibility for student learning.
«A central part of our focus, particularly in the professional learning we do with schools, has been about enabling research to influence practice in ways that can achieve improved outcomes,» Buchanan tells Teacher.
«Unlearning» and «Mirroring»: Transforming Instruction Ed Week, 7/30/14 Of the many forms of professional development we have examined thus far, participation in the online AP Teacher Community (a College Board website where teachers can discuss teaching strategies, share resources, and connect with each other) seems to have the largest positive direct association with both teacher practice and student outcomes, and the relationship is statistically signiTeacher Community (a College Board website where teachers can discuss teaching strategies, share resources, and connect with each other) seems to have the largest positive direct association with both teacher practice and student outcomes, and the relationship is statistically signiteacher practice and student outcomes, and the relationship is statistically significant.
After four years of orienting teaching practice towards the tailored and responsive delivery of learning outcomes, we decided it was time for some external evaluation and commissioned the Australian Council for Educational Research to evaluate our progress and work with individual teachers and groups of teachers in order to further refine our approach.
Cross-lagged autoregressive structural equation results indicated a significant positive relation between RC teacher practices and child perceptions and outcomes over time.
Rachel is dedicated to improving student outcomes and teacher effectiveness through evidence - based best practice, collaboration and professional learning.
Children's perceptions partially mediated the relation between RC teacher practices and social competence but not achievement outcomes.
Teachers at Craigslea State High School in Brisbane are using Peer Learning Groups (PLGs) to improve their own practice and student outcomes.
In this program, a group of experienced primary school teachers have become practitioner researchers, focusing on strengthening their practice and improving outcomes for students.
In the 2013 - 2014 school year, with 200 teachers (in 50 schools) in the treatment group and an equal number in a control group participating, we examine whether digital video technology can improve teaching practice and student outcomes in treatment classrooms; whether it is preferred by both teachers and principals to in - person observations; and whether it presents a cost - effective, scalable alternative to in - person observations.
Much of the research examining how professional development influences teacher practices and subsequent student outcomes has focused on the content and process of effective professional learning.
Research shows that instructional coaching can have a positive impact on all teachers» practice and can improve student outcomes.
School improvement involves leadership, teachers, culture, resources, pedagogy and the broader school community all working in unison to change school practices in ways that lead to better student outcomes.
by sharing how each practice is reflected in teacher work and student outcomes.
Developing research informed practice is a challenge for educators not least because published educational research is rarely focused on the knowledge teachers need to improve educational outcomes.
Research findings supporting coaching and collaborative study groups as professional development processes that impact teacher practice and student outcomes is growing but limited.
Though the research literature is sparse, evidence is surfacing that types of educator collaborative study groups such as lesson study, interdisciplinary teaming, and professional learning communities, have impacts on teacher practice and, again, limited evidence associating collaborative study groups with student outcomes (Gersten, Domino, Jayanthi, James, & Santoro, 2011; Sanders et al., 2009; Vescio, Ross, & Adams, 2008).
Over the next four years the research team will be investigating how teachers are using these environments to improve student learning outcomes, and they'll be sharing strategies and best practice.
«I am excited to build on these efforts to see if we can scale - up programs and practices that catalyze improvements in both teacher practice and student outcomes.»
Although every school system has its own set of unique challenges, several challenges are universal and, therefore, would be good candidates for competitive programs: developing new models of teacher preparation; developing new forms of in - service training for teachers which actually improve student outcomes; spreading effective charter school practices; and closing the achievement gap.
Three studies that looked at the relationship between teacher leaders» practice as teachers in their own classrooms and outcomes from their students each reported a positive impact on student outcomes.
Moreover, across these fourteen studies, various outcomes of the teacher leader practice of providing demonstration lessons or modeling were examined:
Using a variety of assessments, videotapes of classroom instruction, and surveys (student surveys are featured in the preliminary report), the project is attempting to address some of the heretofore under - addressed issues in the measurement of teacher quality (especially non-random classroom assignment and how different classroom practices lead to different outcomes, neither of which are part of this preliminary report).
