Professional Development and Evaluation

Professional Learning

Professional learning is an essential part of Collierville Schools.  We believe continuous learning and improvement must take place for teachers to grow in their practices and enhance the learning of our students.  Our administrators and teachers engage in a variety of experiences to ensure that learning for educators leads to learning for students. 

The Standards for Professional Learning are the essential elements of professional learning that function in synergy to enable our educators to increase their effectiveness and student learning.

Tennessee Teacher Leader Council

As members of the Tennessee Teacher Leader Council, Collierville Schools works collaboratively with the TDOE to create a unique, innovative teacher leader model aligned to our district’s needs and goals.  We are proud of the work put forth by the Collierville Schools’ Teacher Leader Council in the development of our School Support Teams.

 

School Support Teams

In order to ensure that every student is nurtured and challenged by a highly effective teacher in every classroom, Collierville Schools is committed to developing teacher leaders to multiply their impact across the district. 

  • Instructional Coaches                                                          

 

Instructional Coaches are highly effective classroom teachers who are TEAM certified and support teacher informal, non-evaluative, peer-to-peer observations and providing specific, actionable feedback aligned to the TEAM Instructional Rubric.  Instructional Coaches also mentor our new teachers and assist in leading district-wide and school-based professional learning opportunities for all teachers. 

“By investing in the resource that has the greatest impact on student learning – our teachers – we will continue the legacy of high student achievement in Collierville Schools.”

TEAM Evaluations

The Tennessee Educator Acceleration Model (TEAM) is about principals and teachers working together to ensure the best possible instruction every day. Through frequent observation, constructive feedback, student data, and professional development, TEAM is designed to support all educators in doing their best work to help every student learn and grow.  More information on TEAM evaluations can be found here.

TNCompass is our state reporting system. This platform integrates educator/administrator licensure information and evaluation data.  Educator and administrator evaluations are documented in TNCompass; therefore, all educators/administrators are required to have a TNCompass account.  Click here to register for a TNCompass account. 

My Learning Plan

My Learning Plan

My Learning Plan (MLP) is our professional learning management system.  Educators may access this platform to view and register for professional learning sessions that meet their needs.  In addition, educators use MLP to submit requests for board approved absences and field trip requests.
