Coaching Teachers To Be Leaders ：How Do I Know If Teacher Leadership Is Working?

培訓教師成為領導者：我怎麼知道教師領導是否有效呢？

TIPS FOR MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEACHER LEADERSHIP   

監測教師領導效能的訣竅

 

Develop a plan to collect perception data about the impact of teacher leadership on instructional change or student learning.
發展一個計劃去蒐集關於教師領導對教學改變或學生學習產生影響的知覺資料。

Possible questions: What kind of data will you collect? How often will you collect it? What information do you want to know? Who is your target group? How will you manage data? Who will manage the data (collecting, analyzing, storing, reporting)?

可能的問題：你蒐集哪種資料？你多久蒐集一次？你想知道哪些資訊？誰是你的標的群體？你將如何整理資料？誰將進行資料整理工作（蒐集，分析，儲存，報告）？

Continuously monitor teacher leadership using both formative assessments (data that show how you can improve) and summative evaluations (data that show how you did improve). Monitoring progress from the beginning will help you stay on track with your goals. The idea here is to check-in periodically with constituents and to make improvements throughout the year.

同時使用形成性評量（能顯示你如何做改進的資料）和總結性評量（能顯示你做了哪些改進的資料）以持續不斷地監測教師領導。從一開始就監測整個過程將協助你按時完成你的目標。這個理念是與組織內的成員一起按時報到並且整年度都一直在改進。

Possible questions: What are current administrator, teacher, or staff perceptions of the effectiveness of teacher leadership? How have the perceptions changed?

可能的問題：目前的行政人員，教師或是教職員工對教師領導效能的知覺為何？這些知覺如何改變？

Collect data on various aspects of teacher leadership -- such as teams, individuals, or professional development -- to get a picture of what structures make the biggest impact to student learning.

蒐集各種不同教師領導觀點的資料--例如團隊，個人或專業發展—以獲得對學生學習產生最大影響的一幅結構化圖像。

Possible question: Are instructional practices improving as a result of coaching?

可能的問題：教學實施會由於訓練而獲得改進嗎？

Intersect perception data with other data to get a clearer picture of the effectiveness of teacher leadership. Look at the data using the perception lens first, and then look at it in relation to student achievement data. Remember, teacher leadership is an endeavor that supports student learning, school improvement, and instructional change. Perception data, combined with other types of data, can provide a complete picture of the status of the school.

和其他資料交叉的知覺資料能得到清楚的教師領導效能圖像。一開始先觀察使用知覺透鏡的資料，然後再觀察其和學生成就資料的關係。請記住，教師領導是一項支持學生學習，學校改進和教學改變的努力。知覺資料，與其他形式的資料合併後，能夠提供一個完整的學校現況圖像。

Possible question: Are the students of teachers who perceive their instructional practices improved as a result of coaching performing better than students of teachers who are not being coached?

可能的問題：由於透過訓練，意識到自己教學實施已有改進的教師所教出來的學生表現，比那些未經過訓練的老師所教出來的學生表現要來得好嗎？

Data is an important aspect of today's accountability climate. In fact, information derived from a variety of data sources makes continuous school improvement possible. Teacher leadership is an effective school improvement strategy when continuously informed by data-based decisions.
資料是現今當責（績效責任）型氣候一個重要的面向。事實上，源自各種資料的資訊才能使學校持續不斷地進行改進。當持續不斷地以資訊本位做決策時，教師領導會是一項有效能的學校改進策略。
