    As stated in the video, the purpose of looking at data is:

    • Finding who the best teachers are

    • Finding best practices

    • Both A and B

    • Neither A or B

    Correct Answer
    A. Finding best practices
    Explanation
    The purpose of looking at data is to find best practices. This means analyzing the data to identify the most effective and efficient methods or strategies that lead to successful outcomes. By examining the data, patterns and trends can be identified, allowing educators to learn from successful approaches and implement them in their own teaching methods. This helps to improve overall teaching quality and student outcomes.

    The one question that is not part of guiding the school Professional Learning Team is:

    • What do we want students to learn?

    • How will we know that they have learned it?

    • What assessment measure will be used?

    • What will we do if they don’t learn it?

    • What will we do if they do learn?

    Correct Answer
    A. What assessment measure will be used?
    Explanation
    The question "What assessment measure will be used?" is not part of guiding the school Professional Learning Team because it specifically focuses on the assessment aspect of student learning. The other questions address the broader goals and actions related to student learning, such as understanding what students should learn, how to determine if they have learned it, and what actions to take if they do or do not learn. The question about assessment measures is more specific and does not encompass the larger scope of the Professional Learning Team's responsibilities.

    Teachers from across the country self report this as their weakest area:

    • Classroom management

    • Discipline of students

    • Working with parents

    • Student involvement in the assessment process

    Correct Answer
    A. Student involvement in the assessment process
    Explanation
    Teachers from across the country self-report student involvement in the assessment process as their weakest area. This suggests that teachers struggle to effectively engage students in the assessment process, whether it be through providing meaningful feedback, involving students in setting goals, or allowing them to reflect on their own learning. This weak area could potentially hinder students' ability to take ownership of their learning and make informed decisions about their progress.

    • Assessments

    • Beliefs

    • Code of Conduct

    • Mission

    Correct Answer
    A. Mission
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Mission. To ensure high levels of learning for all students, it is important for all aspects of the educational system, including meetings, agendas, calendars, decisions, guidelines, policies, and actions, to align with the mission of the institution. The mission statement outlines the overall purpose and goals of the organization, and by ensuring that everything is in line with this mission, it helps to create a cohesive and focused approach to education that prioritizes student learning.

    When students are involved in this, Tim Brown stated research suggests it is a high gain, high value kind of strategy for student achievement:

    • Forming rules and guidelines

    • Extra curricular activities

    • The assessment process

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The assessment process
    Explanation
    Tim Brown stated that research suggests that the assessment process is a high gain, high value strategy for student achievement. This means that when students are actively involved in the assessment process, it can greatly benefit their learning and academic success. By engaging in assessments, students can better understand their strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and monitor their progress. This active involvement in their own assessment can lead to improved learning outcomes and overall achievement.

    In the video, Tim Brown states this to be a result of ineffective teachers:  

    • Student absenteeism

    • Two years of lost educational growth among students

    • Delayed attainment of meeting school-wide goals and objectives

    • Creating negative school climate

    Correct Answer
    A. Two years of lost educational growth among students
    Explanation
    Tim Brown states that ineffective teachers can result in two years of lost educational growth among students. This means that when students are taught by ineffective teachers, they do not make the expected progress in their education over a period of two years. This can have long-term consequences as it delays their attainment of meeting school-wide goals and objectives. Additionally, it can create a negative school climate as students may become disengaged and frustrated with their lack of progress. Student absenteeism may also be a consequence of ineffective teaching, as students may feel demotivated to attend school when they are not learning effectively.

    Marzano and DeFour report a principal’s time would be much better spent:

    • Conducting classroom walk throughs to ensure teachers are teaching

    • Meeting with teachers individually to address concerns

    • Facilitating discussions in team meetings

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Facilitating discussions in team meetings
    Explanation
    Facilitating discussions in team meetings is the best use of a principal's time according to Marzano and DeFour. This is because team meetings provide an opportunity for collaboration and professional development among teachers. By facilitating these discussions, the principal can ensure that teachers are sharing ideas, addressing concerns, and working together to improve instruction. This approach promotes a positive and supportive school culture, where teachers can learn from each other and collectively make decisions to enhance teaching and learning.

    Explanation
    The research by Nolen and Taylor suggests that students who witnessed teachers and peers emphasizing both attitudes and values, as well as mastery and independent thinking, achieved higher scores on district tests. This implies that a combination of these two factors plays a crucial role in improving students' performance.

    • Reasoning

    • Mastering rigorous academic standards

    • Product

    • Performance

However, the exception mentioned in the answer is "Mastering rigorous academic standards." This implies that Tim Brown does not consider the mastery of academic standards as a valid measure of a student's abilities or success.
