Analyzing Teaching for Student Results

Audience: School Leaders, District Leaders, Leadership Teams, Teacher Leaders - those who provide feedback to educators in any capacity.

Purpose/Outcomes:  Do you believe that a key factor in school improvement is the quality of the instruction in Wisconsin classrooms?  Providing the support and feedback to educators is greatly enhanced when we identify, learn, and practice opportunities for giving feedback on what matters.  To this end, the Analyzing Teaching for Students Results course will provide instructional leaders, building leaders, and teacher leaders with a deep dive into one of the world’s leading resources for developing skillful, high-impact teaching.

During the 42-hour ATSR Academy, participants examine and use both a common language and concept system about teaching. The 7-day curriculum provides multiple opportunities for participants to develop keen observation and analytical skills that will support teachers in building their own capacity to impact students’ learning.

Practice exercises, readings, video clips, case studies, collegial problem-solving, and site visits are used to emphasize the instructional leadership skills to:

• Name, explain, and document what expert instructors know and do in many performance areas from classroom management to planning standards-based lessons and assessments.
• Communicate effectively about practices and decisions that impact student learning.
• Provide standards-based feedback and conduct collegial conferences about teaching practice to stimulate reflection and growth, and thereby support and sustain high-quality teaching.
• Use multiple data sources to assess growth opportunities and help meet new requirements for teacher goal-setting and improvement planning.

Note: The ATSR Academy involves significant preparation outside of sessions, and can be taken for credit.

Cost: $1,500 per person.
