If a CAI observation identifies unacceptable performance for one or more indicators, the teacher is required to complete a plan of professional growth practices. If requirements for an indicator have been met, per the decision rule for the indicator, no plan of professional growth practices is to be advanced for any teaching behavior not credited within that indicator. Timelines for the completion of the plan of professional growth practices must be appropriate to the nature of the plan. Coded references to identified means of monitoring student progress are acceptable. The use of media is not necessary in all lessons.
Media are things the teacher uses to show to, or work with, the class.
Films, chalkboards, pictures, and materials for demonstrations are examples of media. Media used should be related to instructional objectives. L. Lecture Lecture is an appropriate instructional technique, provided it is not used repeatedly to the exclusion of other methods and provisions for student interaction are made within the lesson. A lesson need not finish exactly with the bell. Appropriate closure activities may include use of individual classwork, use of available time to complete class assignments, preview of the next lesson, and similar tasks.
