Teacher+Group+instructions+Dec+2009

Context:
Based on feedback from the Administrator Focus Group for AISI Measures, the Teacher Effectiveness Framework document will be used as a reflection tool for data collection for AISI Cycle 4. Certain sections of this document dovetail nicely with our goals for Cycle 4: Assessment for Learning, Feedback, and Technology Integration. The document has been provided for you to examine. Data collection for teachers during Cycle 4 will need to include an opportunity to reflect on their growth in these three areas. We are suggesting, after such reflection, that 3 or 4 focus group questions be posed to the teachers that might summarize their thoughts on their learning. Your task then is to create these questions.

**Your task: 12:45 - 2:00**
