STARTALK student and teacher programs share the goal of effective language teaching and learning. Current and future teachers benefit from a shared understanding of effective practice, awareness of their strengths and areas for growth, and access to peer mentors and instructional coaches. This session will explore the importance of planning systems of support for professional learning and skill development through mentoring, feedback and coaching within STARTALK summer programs.

I can communicate goals for teacher practice
I can visualize a professional culture supportive of teacher growth
I can plan systems of support for teacher growth

“…The single most important determinant of what students learn is what their teachers know. Teacher qualifications, teacher’s knowledge and skills make more difference for student learning than any other single factor.”
(Darling-Hammond, 2009)

Research shows that a teacher's contribution matters
more than anything else within a school. More than class size. More than school funding. More than technology. For decades, most initiatives to improve public education have focused on improving poor performing schools. But studies show that there are bigger differences in teaching quality within schools than there are between schools. This means that in the same school, a child taught by a less effective teacher can receive an education of vastly different quality than a student just down the hall who is taught by a more effective teacher. And the way evaluations are currently conducted don't provide a teacher who is struggling with a roadmap to improve.

Think about a colleague whose interactions with you resulted in shifts to your practice.
What do you remember about what they did and its impact on you?
Share your observations and listen for shared elements.

Language proficiency and cultural learning is maximized through standards-based thematic curricula that integrate culture, content and language learning as the foundation for learner-centered classrooms, taught in the target language with authentic materials in which learners prepare for and demonstrate learning through performance assessments.

As you reference the stages of STARTALK teacher development, discuss the following questions: Who is teaching in your STARTALK program? What are their unique and shared strengths
and needs? What systems of support do you have in place
to help your teachers grow?

“Mindset change is not about picking up a few pointers here and there. It’s about seeing things in a new way. When people change to a growth mindset, they change from a judge-and-be-judged framework to a learn-and-help-learn framework. Their commitment is to growth, and growth takes plenty of time, effort and mutual support.” (Carol S. Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success)
Shift from private to community practice.

Coaches focus on improvement of instructional practice for student learning.
Mentors help teachers transition to new professional roles and responsibilities inclusive of, but not limited to, instructional practice.
Both mentors and coaches support and provide feedback to colleagues.

Effective teaching results from awareness of:
what the students know and can do (assessment
evidence) what the standards and curriculum identify as what
they need to know and do how to design and implement instruction to close the
gap in ways that are responsive to student needs
Key to Process: Formative Assessment

What is it we want all students to learn?
How will we know when each student has mastered the essential learning?
How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?
How will we deepen the learning for students who have already mastered the essential knowledge and skills.

Describe: Describe what was observed using specific nonjudgmental language
Analyze: Look for patterns giving names to categories and patterns
Predict: Predict the impact of the observed patterns on student learning
Next Steps: Co-plan practices to build upon successes and improve upon areas for development

Purpose of feedback is to close the gap between what is taught and what is learned.
Evidence for Feedback ◦ Self-assessment ◦ Student performance data ◦ Formative assessment info ◦ Videos ◦ Observation notes

Effective Feedback ◦ Timely, Specific & Grounded in Evidence
◦ Highlights Strengths
◦ Balance between Message, Value & Relationship
Strategy for Empowerment & Transfer Think about the kind of question to ask
rather than how a problem might be solved.
