Instructional Leadership Experiences and Artifacts
Artifact 1 - Instructional Model
As an instructional leader, I must be able to plan strategies collaboratively to encourage the developing professional. While serving on the faculty senate, we facilitated the construction of a building-level instructional model and created this draft of the model. A building instructional model is the first step to building an effective teacher evaluation process. Teachers must understand expectations before their instruction can be assessed.

Artifact 2 - Instructional Rounds
As an effective instructional leader, I must continue to design and implement research-based best practices. I believe that it is imperative for instructional leaders to allow educators in the same building teaching the same students to trade strategies and/or observe each other in the classroom. This form guides observing teachers when participating in instructional rounds, a Marzano-based initiative that we started in our high school.
Artifact 3 - Marzano Survey Results
As an instructional leader, I must utilize teacher supervision and evaluation to influence teaching and learning. I created a small survey with the above 3 questions and listed out the 41 effective teaching strategies that take place in the classroom. The above document compiles a list of the top results for each question. This is quality soft data that can be brought back to the faculty senate to make adjustments for our instructional model. The concept of an instructional model is to have teachers be reflective of their own teaching and focus on steady improvement that will show positive results in student learning.
