I must say, that after realizing how I could document and pass all 10 standards on a day where I was not even teaching has been very liberating. I am not going to upload any more documents into The Platform. I am not going to save copies of any more grade reports or data samples. I am not going to update my notebooks. I am not going to worry about any more evidence.
If you have not seen the blog post, handbook, or PowerPoint on what I did, I recommend you take a few minutes to view it--it will save you time.
I incorporated the lesson plan from my doctoral study (Doctoral Study Lesson Plan) with the TAPS Standards and Elements and made notations in my lesson for the Evaluator on how I was meeting each Standard that day. I think it is comprehensive and convincing. A friend of mine, who hopes to be a principal soon, said that s/he would use it to help prepare his/her teachers for TKES.
The handbook and PowerPoint can both be found on my website on this page: GC-District Walkthrough-PPT. I prefer the PowerPoint for viewing...
Respectfully,
Glenn
