Does this Ring a Bell? A Professional Growth Model & Danielson Instructional Framework Refresher5/13/2021 By Dana Bockman, Facilitator of Instruction and Assessment On two late start Wednesdays in May of 2019, staff was introduced to the Professional Growth Model (PGM) which the District would be implementing over the coming years. Around this same time, the Iowa Department of Education was beginning to encourage districts to utilize an instructional framework, introducing the Iowa Instructional Framework as an option for districts. Lucky for us, a PGM revolves around the use of an instructional framework and we were already beginning to implement components of the Danielson Framework to support our shift to a growth model. We were ahead of the game! If you are interested in learning more about the steps Decorah Schools has already taken in the implementation of a Professional Growth Model you can read more here.
Due to the school closure last year, we have not been able to implement the PGM fully nor have we been able to increase understanding of the Danielson Framework and how it is utilized for self-reflection, goal setting, and teacher/administrator conversations. We are now ready to begin moving forward with the next steps in the implementation of the Framework and the PGM. Next week, we will have a chance to take a look at the Danielson Framework to gain an understanding of the four Domains and their Components. Next fall, we will examine the four Levels of Proficiency (LOP) utilized within the instructional framework rubrics before teachers complete their first self-assessment. Want to get a headstart?
