I decided that I would have copies of the TAPS (Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards) information at my area in preparation for the first observation. I copied the standards and each element for Standard 3 & 7 and then underlined the parts I wanted to ensure I mentioned during the observation. While I would normally say or have the students demonstrate 90% of this anyway, I want to hit 100%.
To that end, I had a copy of the Depth of Knowledge section from my lesson plans with questions for levels 1, 2, 3, & 4 highlighted (so that I could see the easily), then overlaid a copy of Standards 3 & 7 with the specific elements underlined. It looks like this:
This is the lesson plan format I created last year to prepare for TKES. Each line/element is a drop down field where I can create a TKES/TAPS complete and compatible lesson plan for a class in <1 minute. You can see it here, but you can also see it at my online portfolio (here) or in my Keys to Successful Teacher Assessment (here),
TKES resources, advice, suggestions, and ideas for teachers going through the new Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards, Teacher Keys Effectiveness System; commonly known as TKES. Lesson plan ideas, how to pass all 10 standards and 72 elements, TLE organization, evaluation, observation, mentoring, etc.
