A Data-Driven PD Marketplace for Education

1. A Data-Driven PD Marketplace for Education Learner Training

2. Session Outcomes • Participants will: • Review the features of your BloomBoard Home Page. • Review the goal setting function and practice setting a goal/SLO. • Develop your own personalized learning plan by beginning your BloomList. • Explore Resources to ‘mine’ personalized supports. • Review the BloomBoard features necessary to participate in observations/meetings with your observer. • Begin to Bloom!

3. What are the underlying values in your evaluation system? • Data-driven decision making (analytics) • Balancing evaluation and teacher development • Compliance • Collaboration (state/district/school, observer/observer, observer/teacher) • Reflective practice • Efficiency/Productivity • Transparency • Professional development • Other?

4. Let’s Practice Finding Resources! • Use the filtering tools to find appropriate resources in the Marketplace for the following scenarios: • You are supporting the launch of the Common Core State Standards. Find a resource in the marketplace that you can use as a resource for you as you plan a professional development or that with your staff/teachers (either for your own information or to use directly with your staff/teachers). • 10% of your staff consists of new teachers who you anticipate will encounter issues with basic classroom management. Find a resource that will be helpful to you as you support them as you coach them over the first few weeks of school. (Alternate for district leaders: You are planning your annual new teacher orientation. Find a resource that will be useful for this event.) • Find a resource that will support a district/school site initiative for the coming school year. • Recommend one of the resources you found to one or more of the teachers in your training account.
