Teachers need to learn how to document their successes so they have data and proof that their efforts are making a difference. The Race to the Top has created an environment that will put teachers' feet to the fire.

child has a learning spot. The learning spot is formed, like a pearl,
around a foundation of success. Finding the learning spot in each child is
an art, but also a skill that can be developed over time. We've collected
some resources in our staff development bookstore that will help you find
that spot. The items are staples for any teacher's professional library
and will help you with:

Learn to use data to drive instruction
Create your own accountability binder. The book should contain printouts of all students' MCAS scores
and other test scores and information from the work you are doing in the classroom. Store copies of
your model lessons. If you can, use technology to record what you are doing, take photos of your
classroom successes, use a webcam to put it all online. Your Principal is going to be using new
evaluation tools to observe you, keep copies of all of your evaluations. If you have a negative
evaluation, make an appointment to sit down with your Principal to find out why, and see what
you can do to improve your future evaluations. Your job may depend on it. If you are using RTI,
use our free Progress Monitoring Tool to keep it all organized. Use online templates for letters,
etc. that you use often. Be prepared for the walkthrough, have your binder ready for review.
Interactive Writing Prompt Rubric: use online or print it out for student notebooks.
