Observation Implementation Practices and Observation Instruments‌ The Polk County Observation Instruments are a comprehensive data collection and management system that report real-time data from classroom walkthroughs observations, informal observations, and formal observations. Using efficient electronic tools and research-based content resources, the Polk County Observation Instruments enable administrators to focus on instructional leadership while maintaining compliance with state and District requirements related to classroom observation, monitoring, professional development, and reporting. Feedback will be provided to teachers following classroom observations to ensure a transparent and effective ongoing communication process. The approved observation instrument must be used for informal and formal observations. Observable EPCs (Educator Accomplished PracticesEssential Performance Criteria) for each of the four domains are listed to guide the observer. Using the rubrics, the administrator rates observed practices pertaining to each descriptor as highly effective, effective, needs improvement/developing, or unsatisfactory.

Enhancing Professional Practice. A Framework for Teaching, 2nd Edition, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be the basis for the Gavin Elementary District #37 Teacher Evaluation Process. The framework for teaching is a research-based set of components of instruction that are grounded in a constructivist view of learning and educational practice. The framework is an invaluable tool to be used as the foundation for professional conversations among practitioners as they seek to enhance their skill in the complex task of teaching and educational practice. The framework will serve as the foundation of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ professional development and teacher evaluation processes, thus linking these activities together and helping teachers and educational specialists to become more thoughtful practitioners. The actions certified teachers can take to improve student growth performance are clearly identified and fall under four domains of teaching responsibility: Planning and Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction, and Professional Responsibilities. Within the domains are 22 components and aligned descriptive elements that further refine our understanding of what effective professional practice is all about, with four levels of performance for each component. The framework for teaching has an extensive empirical research base and is aligned to National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) at the excellent level.
