| Body | This activity was created to help educators engage in an intention growth plan related to the TELL Framework.
Materials:
TELL (Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning) Framework
Procedure
- Identify your goals, making sure to not only address your areas of perceived deficiencies. It is just as important to continue honing and developing your strengths! A great tool for identifying your goals is the EPIC Growth Plan. If you need more information to begin, check out http://www.tellproject.org/tools/further-reading/.
- As you fill out your plan, feel free to consult colleagues and mentors as you select strategies and identify resources. Multiple heads are better than one!
- Work with a colleague, administrator, or other individual with general awareness of your goals as a professional. Establish expectations for observations (duration, frequency, and whether they will be reciprocal). Whether you choose to engage in observations for an entire class period or shorter observations, guidance regarding how to run the observations and tools to document observations and the evidence that support them are available at http://www.tellproject.org/tools/feedback/
- Reconvene with your observation partner(s) to discuss your observation data, articulate and update your ongoing goals, and evaluate the observation framework set in Step 1.
- Start again! Engaging in ongoing goal setting and reflection will positively impact your growth.
