Perf._Eval_Area_B

**// Area B – Instruction & Assessment //** || B1 **Communicates accurately and effectively with students** || // Setting up tasks should include modeling and using more than one modality- for intentional redundancy. // // Just asking “do you understand?” is not enough. // || B2 **Defines learning expectations and provides timely evaluative feedback on student performance** || // Again- should include modeling and student-friendly language in rubrics to make learning tasks, processes and assessment criteria comprehensible for all students. // || B3 **Uses appropriate assessment techniques to guide instruction** || || B4 **Uses appropriate assessment techniques to measure and report student learning** || || B5**: Motivates and engages all students in meaningful learning and growth** || // Techniques for sheltering instruction – research-based definition // || B6 **Differentiates instruction to meet the needs of their students** || // This is a __key__ standard and perhaps the most relevant to teaching ELLs. It could include “works with ESOL teacher to differentiate…” though I know many teachers are skilled at doing this on their own! // ||
