Teacher Growth and Development System (TGDS) TGDS History & Development Launched in 2011, as an outgrowth of the Strategic Plan, the OUSD Effective Teaching Task Force developed a homegrown framework for effective teaching and a correlating evaluation system that pulls from local and national research. Both are grounded in the specific priorities, context and needs of Oakland’s teachers and students. The resulting Oakland Effective Teaching Framework (OETF) and Teacher Growth and Development System (TGDS) were implemented at 2 schools in the 2013-2014 academic year. Early success encouraged OEA and OUSD to expand the pilot to 16 schools in the 2014-2015 school year. The TGDS Mission TGDS is designed to support the continuous growth and development of teachers by building an asset focused evaluation system that empowers leaders, in and out of the classroom, to provide regular, consistent, evidenced-based feedback to the teachers that improves their practice for students.

The Foundation: Oakland Effective Teaching Framework (OETF) The Oakland Effective Teaching Framework is the basis for all classroom observation and is used to provide feedback to teachers and evaluate teaching practice. The OETF is divided into four domains of effective teaching.

The framework provides four distinct levels of teaching performance (Not Meeting, Developing, Effective, Exemplary) that describe measurable teaching actions and provide a roadmap for improvement in teaching practice. Teachers use the framework to set and measure progress toward teacher-selected growth objectives (SMARTe goals) focused on student outcomes and professional practice.

TGDS Timeline The TGDS timeline has been designed to provide teachers with regular feedback and opportunities for reflection to support growth in teaching practice. All observation types—informal, long and short—are opportunities to collect evidence of practice on all OETF indicators. Long observations are conducted by certified administrators, and short observations are conducted by certified administrators and alternate observers.

Professional Practice Scores The goal of TGDS is to position teachers as leaders in their own growth and development. Teachers use the OETF to set SMARTe goals that they believe will be most impactful for student and professional growth. Throughout the cycle, teachers focus on demonstrating growth in these areas.

Instructional Conferencing Guide

Instructional conferences provide opportunities to develop teachers’ practice through the use of effective feedback. This guide provides the purpose and process for conducting effective conferences.

Pre-Observation Conference Post-Observation Conference

The purpose of the pre-conference is to bring focus to an area of growth in the teacher’s planning process, and to clarify or improve an aspect of the lesson before it is taught.

The purpose of the post-observation conference is to provide a high-level view on the teacher’s practice, bring focus to a high-leverage area of improvement, and determine concrete next steps.

Instructional Conference Phases

Phase 1: Activating and Engaging

Provide high-level view of strengths and areas for growth based on collected evidence.

Provide opportunity to share contextual information or raise concerns that are relevant to the areas of growth.

Phase 2: Exploring and Discovering

Determine focus area of growth tied to a framework indicator: What will the focus of the conference be?

Establish shared criteria for success: What will it look like when practice improves in this indicator?

Discuss strategies: What tools, resources, or strategies can be used to improve practice?

Provide choice points: What one or two actions can move practice forward?

Phase 3: Organizing and Integrating

Teacher reflects on what he or she is taking away from the conversation.

Teacher and observer Determine concrete next steps.

Best practice: Use conversation stems that promote reflective thinking and collaboration. Consider the developmental needs of the teacher and the relationship between teacher and observer as you plan for the conversation.

Reflective Stems Collaborating Stems Consulting Stems:

What did you notice…

What’s your thinking about…

How have you addressed this before in a similar situation?

Let’s brainstorm together…

Let’s think about…

Let’s generate…

How might we...

Here are some options you might consider...

Keep in mind that…

Pay attention to…
