Parents, teachers, educators, and researchers agree that effective teaching happens when teachers:• thoroughly know their subjects• have significant teaching skills• possess dispositions that foster growth and
learning in students
![Page 4: Media-X Systems Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814277550346895dae9ea3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Leave out any one of these and learning which is essential to a productive and meaningful life will not occur.

One of the most pressing current problems in the preparation of future educators is defining and measuring the dispositions associated with educator effectiveness
That’s why we’re all here !!

• mVal:Professional is an appraisal system used by 1,000’s of school administrators to assess staff using rubrics and ‘look-fors’ (Performance
Indicators), which standardize evaluations.
• Knowing what to look for empowers evaluators to make more accurate assessments.
![Page 7: Media-X Systems Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814277550346895dae9ea3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Based on the research of Arthur W. Combs and the perceptual instrument described by M. Mark Wasicsko, PhD* in 2002, mVal:Professional can be used to simplify the assessment of teacher (or teacher candidate) dispositions.

• The ‘Handbook on Teacher Evaluation’ provides:• Domains• Standards• Rubrics• Performance Indicators (Look-fors)• Portfolio guidelines• Improvement Plans
- the book would be an ideal resource for mVal:Professional
- mVal:Professional would be an ideal companion for the book
All of which are managed in mVal:Professional

• Define sets of Standards, Rubrics and Look-fors (Performance indicators)
• Create appraisals based on a set of standards
• Record observations
• Assess based on the observations
• Report
• Allow students to reflect, provide evidence, make self-assessments and maintain portfolios
mVal:Professional is used to:

• From the outset, mVal:Professional was designed to record data using a Palm PDA, although you can record the observations on paper or while having access to the Internet.

Evaluating Dispositions and rating lookfors is organized and simpleMany prefer to rate the lookfors first, and later decide the evaluation of the Disposition

• Portability
• Anywhere-anytime access to data
• Inconspicuous recording of observations
• SIMPLICITY
• Single button transfer of data between Palm and web
The advantages of using a handheld are:
![Page 14: Media-X Systems Inc](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814277550346895dae9ea3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• A single ‘Desktop’ application that is always current (updates are instantaneous for all users)
• Automated Palm updates via the web• Access to evaluations and reports from any web-
connected computing device (multi-platform)• The ability for evaluators to share and collaborate• A vehicle for students to maintain portfolios, growth
plans, reflections and peer-assessments• Dialogues between students and professors/mentors• Faculty, department, campus, state or even nation-
wide access to data
The combination of web and Palm handheld provides:
