Parking at West Jessamine HS:
MS/HS Math Cadre teachers should go to the back of the school. There are about 10 spots there. When those fill up, to the left is a gate that goes back to the Ag barn. They can park in the grass field inside of the fenced area. The back doors will be open that time of day. They will just need to proceed to the front of the school to sign in and then they will be shown to the library. Karen Grace will try to be there to direct people.

Professional Learning for Peer Observers
This self-paced course includes a pre-assessment and three modules. Pre-Assessment Before beginning the course, you are required to pass a pre-assessment to demonstrate your knowledge of the purpose of the TPGES and the multiple measures it includes. You also need to be familiar with the structure of the Kentucky Adapted Framework for Teaching. The videos and activities within the modules require you to have a working knowledge of the Framework and its domains. Module 1: Overview and Expectations The first module focuses on the purpose and importance of peer observation and what is expected of peer observers. The module also describes the peer observation process and how it differs from supervisor observations. Module 2: Identifying Effective Teaching Through Observation The second module focuses on the observation process, including examples of scripting evidence and identifying bias. You will have multiple opportunities to practice determining and scripting evidence, so you will want to have a copy of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching on hand to refer to. You will only need Domains 2 and 3 of the Framework. Module 3: Feedback In Module 1 you learned about the roles and responsibilities of a peer observer. Module 2 allowed you to develop the skills needed to complete an observation and script evidence free from bias and interpretation. Module 3 focuses on the characteristics of effective feedback and how to determine the next steps after feedback is given. |
