Summary of "Marzano Evaluation for Classroom"

Main Ideas:

• Introduction to Marzano Focus Teacher Instructional Model:
  • Presented by Nicole Ken, a fifth-grade teacher and 2019 Teacher of the Year.
  • Overview of the instructional observation and evaluation process.
• Observation vs. Evaluation:
  • Observations provide feedback using the instructional framework through three methods: walkthroughs, formal observations, and targeted observations.
  • Evaluations collect data from observations, student data, and professional growth.
• Four Domains of the Marzano Model:
  • Domain 1: Standards-Based Planning
    • Focus on aligning lesson resources to standards and using data to close achievement gaps.
  • Domain 2: Standards-Based Instruction
    • Research-based strategies for teaching standards, emphasizing student engagement and cognitive complexity.
  • Domain 3: Conditions for Learning
    • Creating a positive learning environment, using data for student progress tracking, and organizing students effectively.
  • Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities
    • Adhering to policies, maintaining content expertise, and promoting collaboration.
• Element Protocols:
  • Each domain has specific elements with focus statements, desired effects, teacher techniques, student evidence, and a rating scale.
  • Ratings range from "developing" to "innovating," based on student evidence and effectiveness.
• Types of Observations:
  • Formal Observations: Minimum of two per year for contracted teachers; includes pre and post-observation conferences.
  • Targeted Observations: Teacher-requested, focusing on specific elements; limited to one per year.
  • Walkthroughs: Non-evaluative observations that provide feedback.
• Deliberate Practice Plan (DPP):
  • A plan consisting of targeted elements and action steps to improve teaching practice.
  • Progress is monitored and discussed during post-observation conferences.
• Scoring and Evaluation:
  • Elements are rated, and scores are calculated based on observation data.
  • The final evaluation score combines instructional practice, student growth, and deliberate practice scores, each weighted differently.
• Resources and Support:
  • Various tools and resources are available for teachers to understand and implement the Marzano model.
  • Professional development opportunities are provided through the district.

Methodology/Instructions:

• Observation Cycle:
  • Pre-observation conference → Observation (30 minutes) → Post-observation conference.
• Deliberate Practice Plan:
  • Identify targeted elements.
  • Develop action steps to improve practice.
  • Monitor progress and adjust the plan as necessary.
• Scoring Calculation:
  • Gather ratings for each domain.
  • Calculate domain scores and apply weights to obtain the instructional practice score.
  • Combine instructional practice, student growth, and deliberate practice scores for the final evaluation.
