Observation CC Chart
Teachers in grades P-2 are taking part in a professional learning program that consists of watching demonstrations and taking notes using a Teaching & Learning Demonstration CC Chart. The CC chart (below) allows the oberserver to watch 'best practice' and take notes outlining where it is in the lesson and why it is there. The Chart also allows teachers to evaluate and critically think about their own practice. The CC Chart is set out using the NMR (Northern Metropolitan Region) Curiosity & Powerful Learning Model that highlights 6 Teaching Theories of Action.



Balanced Literacy Classroom Self Assessment
Prior to the Professional Learning program, teachers are asked to fill in the 'Balanced Literacy Classroom uisng the Curiosity for Powerful Learning Model' Self Assessment (document below). The assessment outlines what a balanced literacy classroom looks like. At the end of the PL program, teachers use the same assessment sheet and highlight the areas that they have added to their literacy program. This performa can be used during teacher's Performance Reviews, as it directs good discussions on how their literacy program has improved over the semester.
