Posted: Friday, July 22, 2011RTOP Teaching Observation Protocol Workshop
The Physics Department will offer a free half-day introductory workshop led by Dan MacIsaac of Physics and Kathleen Falconer of Elementary Education and Reading on using the NSF-funded Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) for STEM classroom assessment and research on Monday, July 25, from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. in Science Building 272. RTOP is the gold standard observation instrument for K-20 STEM classroom observation for research publication, and this workshop is co-sponsored by the NSF Noyce partnership for new STEM teachers at Buffalo State College. Participants will practice scoring vignettes of physics teaching and will extensively discuss RTOP use. Participants will also receive electronic copies of the video vignettes, RTOP forms, the RTOP statistical and training manuals.
Attendance is free, though an R.S.V.P. to macisadl@buffalostate.edu is appreciated.
