Training Purposes/Objectives Understand and be able to apply
the OTES Framework. Be prepared to utilize the observation
processes (pre-conference, observation, post-conference) presented
from the Teacher Performance OTES framework component. Understand
and apply necessary tools from the OTES model Understand and apply
the evaluation rubric to personal classroom practice 3
Slide 4
Purpose The (OTES) evaluation procedure is to be used for the
improvement of instruction and learning with the teacher and
evaluator working collaboratively in support of the teacher to
achieve that goal. 4
Slide 5
Text Rendering Purpose: To collaboratively construct meaning,
clarify and expand our thinking about a text or document Each table
will be assigned a document that they need to render (count off by
6) A.Professional Growth/Improvement Plan (p. 63-64) B.
Implementing the OTES Process (p.65-66) C.Using the Evidence to
Inform Holistic Performance Ratings (p. 67-69) Text rendering asks
you to dig deeply into the document as a group and define/describe
what the most important information is 5
Slide 6
Text Rendering Set Up: Take 3-5 minutes to read the document
your group has been assigned. After you are done reading: Place a
star next to the paragraph that you believe is most important
Underline the sentence within the paragraph that you think is most
important H Highlight the word that best captures the main point of
the paragraph. Steps: P. 62 Go through steps 1-4 with your table
group, and we will go through steps 5-6 as a large group 6
Slide 7
Present Your Text Rendering Findings Each group will present
their text rendering and the big ideas they got from each document.

deem to be effective, what were the elements that led you to that
decision? Consensus Consensus Elements Elements Participant A
Participant B ParticipantD Participant C 2 minutes to write
individually 3 minutes to talk and reach consensus 5 minutes to
debrief
Slide 13
Whole School Consensus Now that each group has come up with
their own consensus, lets take a moment to make a whole school
consensus What is it that we would expect to see in a classroom
that is deemed effective? 13

Planning FOCUS FOR LEARNING (Standard 4: Instruction) Sources of
Evidence: Pre-Conference The teacher does not have a clear focus
for student learning or the objective is too general to guide
lesson planning or the objective is inappropriate for the students.
The teacher states a focus for student learning that is appropriate
for students. The teacher develops a measurable objective for
student learning that aligns with the Ohio standards. The teacher
can explain the importance of the objective and its appropriateness
for students. The teacher develops an ambitious and measurable
objective for student learning that aligns with the Ohio standards.
Teacher can explain how the objective fits into the broader unit
and course goals for content learning and skills. StandardAreas

Assessment of Teacher Performance: OTES Rubric Knowledge of
Students Proficient The teacher demonstrates familiarity with
students background knowledge and experiences and describes
multiple procedures used to obtain this information. The teachers
instructional plan draws upon an accurate analysis of the students
development, readiness for learning, preferred learning styles, and
backgrounds and prior experiences. 20
Slide 21
Rubric Activity Directions: As a table, discuss and highlight
key words from the Proficient column for Focus for Learning,
Assessment Data, Prior Content Knowledge/Sequence/Connections, and
Lesson Delivery For groups who finish early, go back to the
Proficient column for these areas and note the differences from
Developing and Accomplished. 21

When do you collect evidence? SCRIPTING 26 Pre-Conference
Review of lesson Generate questions from lesson plan What the
students What the teacher says and does say and do Post-Conference
Communication between classroom observation and post-conference
Prior to the lesson being observed During the lesson After the
lesson
Slide 27
Collecting/Capturing Evidence Capture: What the teacher says
What the teacher does What the students say What the students do
Copy wording from visuals used during the lesson Record time
segments of lesson 27
Slide 28
28 Hints for Capturing Evidence When capturing evidence during
the lesson, these strategies will help you collect accurate and
defensible notes. 1.Time: Capture the length of different segments
of the lesson 2.Abbreviate: When possible abbreviate; after the
lesson write out what you abbreviated 3.Verbatim: Capture verbatim
dialogue when possible 4.Paraphrase: Use parentheses to indicate
paraphrasing 5.Circulate: Circulate as necessary to collect
evidence from teacher, students and student work
Slide 29
29 Hints for Capturing Evidence When capturing and categorizing
evidence after the lesson, these strategies may help you categorize
effectively. 6.Label: Begin categorizing your notes by labeling
evidence for rubric standard areas/indicators 7.Q & F: After
you finish go thru your script and label all questions and feedback
(Lesson Delivery and Assessment standards) 8.Upfront Summary: After
you finish, go through the evidence and write a brief summary of
the lesson 9.Lesson Analysis: Identify the lessons primary
objective and sub-objectives (Focus for Learning)

Collecting and Categorizing Evidence: Language to Avoid Avoid
the use of the following language: Value Statements: I think I feel
She should have She could have When I taught this, I The discussion
about the lesson should be based on the evidence and the rubric.
36
Slide 37
Group Roles Once you get to the group work, there are a few
roles that need to be assigned: Holder of the handbook This person
will make sure that we are interpreting each standard correctly,
and answer any questions group members have about it. Keeper of the
rubric This person will make sure that all conversations are about
what the rubric asks for.
Slide 38
Group Roles continued Value Judgment Police This person will
make sure people do not use value judgment statements such as: I
would have She should have Timekeeper & Evidence Gatherer
Slide 39
39 Whole group will debrief the evidence that was captured and
the ratings that were given. Debrief Evidence and Ratings
Slide 40
III. Professionalism How will you provide evidence for
Professional Responsibilities? What evidence might an evaluator use
to evaluate Professional Responsibilities? 40
Slide 41
Post-Observation Conference Purpose: To provide an opportunity
for reflection on the areas of reinforcement and refinement from a
lesson to inform and improve future practice. The post-observation
conference should focus on two areas from the rubric (one for
reinforcement and one for refinement). 41
Slide 42
