Hints for Capturing Evidence

When capturing and categorizing evidence after the lesson, these strategies may help you categorize effectively.

6. Label: Begin categorizing your notes by labeling evidence for rubric standard areas/indicators

7. Q & F: After you finish go thru your script and label all questions and feedback (Lesson Delivery and Assessment standards)

8. Upfront Summary: After you finish, go through the evidence and write a brief summary of the lesson

9. Lesson Analysis: Identify the lesson’s primary objective and sub-objectives (Focus for Learning)

Collecting and Categorizing Evidence:

Language to Avoid Avoid the use of the following language:• Value Statements:• I think…• I feel…

• He/She should have…• He/She could have…• When I taught this, I …

The discussion about the lesson should be based on the evidence and the rubric.

•Each group during the work session was assigned 1-2

standards to share with their building team.

•You will first have 5 minutes to watch the pre-

conference. Next you have 20 minutes to watch the

lesson. Finally you will watch 5 minutes post-conference

video.

•First, write down evidence that you observe for your

standard. Scripting the lesson is important. Do not rate

the standard yet!

Categorize and Rate your Standard(s)

NEXT STEPS Building Administrators will continue to inform

staff about the new evaluation system. Write your questions down to discuss with

your administrator. Begin learning about the new evaluation

procedures from ODE, http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Teaching/Educator-Evaluation-System/Ohio-s-Teacher-Evaluation-System MTA Contract, and NEIS
