This document describes Dr. Marci Shepard's presentation to the Orting School District about professional learning communities (PLCs) in 2010-2011. It outlines the key steps in establishing a successful PLC, including building the foundation, developing collaborative teams, focusing on learning, giving extra time and support, focusing on results, and striving for continuous improvement. Teachers then worked in groups to unpack and discuss different "checkpoints" or stages along the journey of developing a PLC.
eVAL is an electronic application to support the work of the new teacher and principal evaluation systems. This presentation describes what eVAL is and how teachers and principals can use it to support their growth and manage evaluation processes.
Central Office Teacher and Principal Evaluation PresentationDr. Marci Shepard
Implementing the new teacher and principal evaluation system requires all hands on deck. It carries implications for all departments at the central office. This presentation informs central office staff of new changes in evaluation systems and facilitates considering implications for each department as well as discovering how success requires department interdependence and teamwork.
In this professional development session our learning target is:
I can explore major shifts, math practices and content focus areas for my grade so I can use them in my teaching.
Success Criteria:
• Contrast major shifts in the CCSS-M to current practice
• Synthesize Standards for Math Practices
• Contrast major shifts in ways students demonstrate math proficiency (SBAC) to current practice
• Analyze Critical Areas of Focus
• Make connections to 5D
• Self-reflect to personalize the learning

Evaluating the Quality of Online Teaching D2L Barry
Presentation by Barry Dahl at the 2018 D2L Connection: London Edition.
This session addresses the development of a process that can be used to evaluate the quality of online teaching. The current evaluation processes at many colleges do not specifically address online instruction, and most academic administrators have limited personal experience with online course design and instruction. Two useful documents will be shared in this webinar. The first is a five-part Pre-Evaluation Worksheet. The second document is a five-category rubric for evaluating teaching performance of online instructors. The rubric could be used as a self-evaluation for faculty, as part of a peer review evaluation, or as part of an academic administrator’s evaluation of faculty. These documents are sharable and editable. Use these documents to start a faculty evaluation process or to build upon your existing process.

OSD district strategic plan and SIP plans introduction 12.6.12 ShepardDr. Marci Shepard
This presentation gives an overview of Orting School District's strategic plan including WHY we exist (our mission and vision) and HOW our "big 3" initiatives (PLCs, CCSS and 5D instructional framework) will help us realize our purpose. This presentation also illustrates systems alignment as it was used to set up presentation of School Improvement Plans to the school board.
After learning about Purpose, planning for Purpose and teaching with Purpose (Purpose is a dimension of our instructional framework - 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning), teachers got together to share how planning for Purpose impacted their teaching and their students’ learning. Teachers shared lesson plans and described the planning process including using standards, learning goals, learning targets, success criteria, tasks and acceptable evidence of learning. They discussed teaching and learning using evidence including how planning for purpose impacted their teaching and their students’ learning. Finally, teaching teams self-assessed using the teacher evaluation rubrics for Purpose.
Purpose: Teaching with Effective Learning Targets and Success CriteriaDr. Marci Shepard
In this all-day session, we were developing a common understanding of Purpose, a dimension in our instructional framework (5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning). We were learning that effective learning targets and success criteria are written for one lesson, linked to previous and future lessons, based on knowledge of standards and students, transferable and relevant beyond the lesson, accessible and understood by all students, embedded throughout instruction, measurable, aligned with the task and used for student self-assessment.
In this training, participants were learning more about planning with Purpose, a dimension of our instructional framework (5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning). In this training, we were learning to plan for Purpose including standards, a unit/learning goal, learning targets, success criteria, task alignment with the targets, and identifying evidence for meeting the learning targets.
In this session, science teachers used the DRAFT of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to build awareness and gain familiarity with the NGSS through recognizing the structure of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and identifying the shifts represented in the NGSS.
Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced Assessments Dr. Marci Shepard
In this training, participants are developing awareness of CCSS, recognize the structure of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for literacy in the content areas and grasping assessment changes coming with CCSS.
In this math Common Core State Standards training, participants will learn to recognize the structure of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Mathematics, identify the shifts represented in the CCSS and consider implications and implementation plans.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
