Lesson Observation Focused on Engaged Learning and Explicit Language Development Teachers serving English Learners in any K-12 context are in dire need of frequent, targeted and practical feedback on instruction, but observation criteria in widely-used tools range from extremely general and irrelevant to unwieldy. This workshop equips administrators and instructional coaches with a user-friendly and vetted walk-through protocol focused on explicit language development and structured student engagement. Data on long-term English learners in California highlights these students tragically low level of lesson engagement and chronic under-performance. Dr. Kinsella will begin the session by providing a synthesis of the current research base with regard to English language development and extract five guiding principles to inform instruction. She will demonstrate explicit and accountable student engagement and language use through a brief hands-on lesson and recent video footage obtained from exemplary classrooms. Participants will observe video clips for evidence checks of effective language instruction and engaged student responses. The presenter will address common “missed opportunities” for structured English Learner engagement and language acceleration from her routine classroom observations and provide extensive exemplars of actionable feedback. Colleagues will leave with practical observation tools and a collection of Dr. Kinsella’s most frequent and productive lesson feedback.

Students must have the opportunity to learn what is required for high school graduation regardless of the size and setting of their high school experience whether it is an opportunity class, a juvenile court school, a special education setting, or small rural school. The subject matter verification process in mathematics is designed to support teachers in these settings to teach California Academic Content Standards with confidence and competence.   Level I will focus on the fundamental themes in Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry, and Probability & Statistics. This professional development will teach skills and concepts through hands-on, group activities, and directed instruction. The objective is for each teacher to leave with the belief that they have been given content and pedagogy that could be delivered to their students. This will help students pass the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) and graduate from California high schools with the content knowledge and skills to compete in the global economy. Attendance at all five (5) sessions is required.

The new Common Core State Standards will require schools to comprehensively support student learning so students meet these enhanced expectations and reap the results of preparation for competition in a global economy. Beyond the classroom, this requires a system-wide integration. Our district/site leaders must be poised to become the central figures with the comprehension and vision surrounding implementation. They must gain a deep understanding of all that is involved and be able to guide their staff. With Common Core implementation, an administrator also must be prepared to observe how well a teacher integrates Common Core concepts and skills into their lesson plans. In order to do this, an administrator not only needs understanding as to what Common Core lessons involve, but what effective instruction and student mastery look like. DATES January 13, 2012 We will dig deeply into the English Language Arts Standards, the Appendices and support documents that will be necessary for transition to these standards. February 10, 2012 We will dig deeply into the Mathematic Standards, Appendix A, Standards for Mathematical Practice, and support documents that will be necessary for transition to these standards.   March 9, 2012 Understand the implications of the Rigor and Relevance Framework along with the Framework for 21st Century Learning   April 13, 2012 Examine Equity and the Common Core Standards.

Participants will learn to develop a legally defensible Behavior Support Plan (BSP).  The training will include: 1) describing behavior in measurable & observable terms; 2) observing & analyzing the environmental variables in which the behavior occurs; 3) managing the environment so that the student no longer needs to use the target behavior; 4) hypothesizing the function of the target behavior; 5) developing a functionally equivalent replacement behavior to meet the student’s desired function; 6) detailing the steps to teach the student the new replacement behavior; 7) appropriate use of reinforcement; 8) writing effective behavior goals; and 9) outlining positive communication procedures. All of the above will be understood further as participants become familiar in using the Quality Evaluation II to write and score a superior plan which will be defensible in a court of law. Participants will leave the training having collaboratively developed and scored a BSP consistent with IDEIA reauthorization requirements.

The CaCCSS expects mathematically proficient students to be able to apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situation and map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables, graphs, flowcharts and formulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. They routinely interpret their mathematical results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose. In order for teachers to produce students capable of applying mathematics in the ways described above, they will need to engage students in tasks that require critical thinking and problem solving, Critical thinking and problem solving are skills that can be taught; however, in our current era of accountability, many teachers abandon the teaching of these skills in favor of test preparation. This workshop series is intended to provide teachers support in making the needed enhancements and changes in instruction.

A series of four workshops to create awareness of the different family engagement methods and how they connect and impact directly student success.
