1 Correlation Map of to Marzano s Evaluation Model

2 Correlation Map of to Marzano s Evaluation Model provides schools and districts with the best solutions for ensuring that teachers will be successful on teacher evaluations. is the most effective model for preparing teachers to consistently and pervasively implement every domain and element of the Marzano evaluation to the highest level. Evaluation models, such as Marzano s, provide schools with standards of teaching expectations. provides teachers with the best strategies, practices, and frameworks for meeting and exceeding those standards. In other words, the evaluation model is the what and is the how. This correlation map provides schools with the connections of specific professional development, resources, and day-to-day implementation with the Model by domain and design question. Routine Segments Design Que stion 1: Communicating Learning Goals and Feedback 1. Providing Clear Learning Goals and Scales Mapping Standards Student Learning Maps are used as Advance Organizers with students. Unit Essential Question and each lesson s focus are presented at beginning of unit. Essential Questions, student expectations and vocabulary are added as students progress through the unit. A major unit assignment is detailed on each map. Essential Questions are posted and used to start lessons, and referred to during lessons. Students learn that the Essential Question represents the learning goal and will be answered at the end of the lesson. Essential Questions are referenced throughout the lesson. Lessons are developed from learning goals from standards. Lessons begin with a Lesson Essential Question that communicates learning goals. Students are provided with rubrics for assignments and activities as they are introduced. Rubrics are provided for assignments to clarify quality use of thinking strategies Teachers determine assignments and assessments from learning goals, which then guide the learning activities and instruction for each lesson.

3 Continued Routine Segments Design Que stion 1: Communicating Learning Goals and Feedback 2. Tracking Student Progress Mapping Standards Common Unit Assessments are collaboratively planned and utilized throughout the unit of instruction Assessment Prompts are planned for each lesson based on standards-driven learning goals. Assessment Prompts are distributed throughout the lesson in order to gather data on student understanding which allows teachers to adjust instruction to meet the needs of students at strategic points in the lesson. Distributed summarizing and practice, often through collaborative student pairs, are used throughout lesson instruction to continually check informally for understanding. Assignments are planned and implemented as the major assessment for each lesson. A Summarizing Strategy is used at the end of the lesson to determine if students can answer the Essential Question. Routine Segments Design Que stion 1: Communicating Learning Goals and Feedback 3. Celebrating Success Students keep a journal of Student Learning Maps, Essential Questions, Assessment Prompts, Key Vocabulary and responses to Essential Questions. Successful use of Collaborative Pairs in order to help individuals and peers acknowledge understanding and learning. Successful use of Collaborative Pairs during guided practice and distributed summarizing helps students acknowledge and deepen their understanding of important knowledge and skills. Student work (drafts and final products) is displayed in classrooms and hallways to acknowledge student understanding and learning. Students update their journals with evidence of their learning and constructive feedback is provided by teacher(s) and peer(s) (depending on age group). Teachers provide immediate feedback to students during Activating Strategies, Vocabulary Strategies, Assessment Prompts and Summarizing Strategies, that is informative and acknowledges individual and class learning. Planned formative assessments provide students immediate and frequent feedback. Page 3 of 24

4 Continued Design Que stion 2: Helping Students Interact with New Knowledge 1. Identifying Critical Information Mapping Standards Teachers begin units with Unit Essential Question(s). Teachers begin units with a Launch Activity that previews the critical content (Learning Goals) to be learned in the unit. Teachers begin lessons with Lesson Essential Question. Activating Strategies are used at the beginning of lessons to inform students of what they are going to learn, prepare them for learning, link to students prior knowledge and identify what students already know about the topic. Expected rigor and complexity is identified, instructed, and then used by students. Vocabulary Strategies Teachers select and prioritize key vocabulary from the standards. Critical vocabulary is previewed as part of the Unit Launch Activity and Lesson Activating Strategies. Design Que stion 2: Helping Students Interact with New Knowledge 2.
