Dr.+Victor+Sampson

We would love to contract with Dr. Sampson to provide the following:
===1. For the proposal - a description of the instructional model that would be employed, and he would be contracted with to direct if funding is received - with the supporting research, and a description of how that model would be implemented among FSUS and the partnering schools===

===2. Packaged units or model lesson plans - vetted lessons that teachers could readily implement in high school biology and chemistry classrooms - the lessons need to be tied to the NGSS in Science and a part of what the teachers actually need to teach - this might be a final product deliverable - these lesson plans could actually be posted to CPALMS - which might strengthen the proposal===

6. An implementation timeline for what he proposes to do
===**7. Professional development for the science teachers on the instructional model he plans to deploy** 8. Work closely with the grant project manager to ensure that all goals and objectives have been addressed and that the necessary resources have been allocated efficiently and effectively.===

===We think it would be incredibly helpful if there were video clips demonstrating exactly how the teachers will use the technology - even though you attend a training where you practice the technology, when you walk away and are in the isolation of your classroom, a visual support to review you would be wonderful and in my opinion, likely to increase implementation===

A Lesson Assessment and Refinement Project: An Example of Collaborative Professional Development that leads to Improved Student Achievement

FORMULATE GOALS

Pre-service and/or in-service teachers study the standards I** .. ** then ...  or a curriculum and then identify a goal for student learning

EXAMINE STUDENT THINKING

Teachers develop or use an existing assessment or collect samples of student work. Teachers then use the RSST to examine facets of student thinking or understanding

then ...

ASSESSMENT AND REFINEMENT

Teachers (a) analyze data collected during the lesson, (b) use the data to examine student learning and to refine the Instructional model or teaching practice, and (c) refine the research lesson based on student achieveIT' once the lesson functions as intended...

DISSEMINATE WHAT WAS LEARNED

Teachers write an article to share (a) the research lesson or how a specific instructional model or teaching practice can be use to improve student learning and (b) trends in student understanding or barriers to learning that were uncovered during the lesson assessment and refinement project

then."

TEACH THE RESEARCH LESSON

One member of the team enacts the research lesson while other team members observe and collect data then

\ Cycles /

then ...

PLANNING

Teachers (a) choose to study how an instructional model or a teaching practice influences student learrning, (b) identify a specific question to answer, (c) design a research lesson using the model or the teaching practice of interest, and (c) identify a way to collect the data they need to improve the model or practice
