**Final video analysis rubric**  

 why coffee is so needed in the morning, why men think differently, why children have to be an emotional roller coaster ride? But most of all why the days you long for happen so quickly, why the days you dread lag on forever, why people don't choose to be happy?
 * **I don't understand**

What I understand most is why the most powerful sense is touch, why a mother and wife's love is unconditional, why it is important to be involved in something bigger than yourself. || **I don't understand** why teachers are afraid to try new things, why teachers don't like to teach with other teachers, why we all overcomplicate the simple! But most of all why planning seems to scare people when you have to actually document it, why new information gets forgotten, and then why old information seems new again and still forgotten.

What I understand most is why frustration can build when planning seems complicated, why structure is needed to help ease the frustration, why teachers need support to do their job effectively, which is one of the most important jobs in the world! ||

why teachers expect learners to collaborate when THEY don't. why teachers expect learners to "GET IT" through Osmosis! why teachers want to be recognized as professionals but don't want the responsibilities or repercussions that come along with it!
 * **I don't understand**

But most of all why do we say we want ALL students to learn when we refuse to go the extra mile to ensure their success? why do we readily share our recipes with colleagues but refuse to share lesson plans? why do we find mediocrity acceptable from ourselves or each other?

What I understand most is why we have to empower administrators and teachers with this knowledge! why we have to engage students, improve student learning and help students develop critical thinking skills! why we have to apply theory and practice directly into the classroom! ||  ||  why Marzano's research wasn't around when I was the classroom! why I didn't think of the 3 Lesson Segments! why I never had students chart their own progress on learning goals But most of all why "teaching to the test" means "throw great instruction out the window" why problem-based lessons are the first to go in a time crunch why teaching is such an isolated profession when there is so much to learn from our colleagues!
 * I don't understand**

What I understand most is why good instruction (not a program) produces the best results why a teacher's every move impacts a student (positively or negatively) why careful planning is the key to success! ||

why it was so hard to navigate the course at first why I feared the technology aspect of the course more than understanding the content of the course why I felt like I was repeating myself all the time
 * **I don't understand**

But most of all why we did not see more video clips of teachers implementing the 10 design questions why the Observation and Feedback Protocol did not come first in the course as an advanced organizer why life in the classroom does not "imitate" the art and science of teaching all the time

What I understand most is why understanding the design questions takes time why implementing the design questions take commitment why sharing the design questions takes courage || **I don't understand** why some teachers aren't willing to change why state report card data is based on only one assessment why they didn't tell us before we signed up for the course the amount of time it would consume But most of all why can't I have my "kit" to review as I learn about the 10 basic design questions why they don't understand how much more I will learn and understand the 10 design questions as I teach them why am I lucky enough to have such wonderful colleagues

What I understand most is why I needed to take this course why I want my districts involved in i-observation why I want to be a part of helping more teachers become effective || Those who jump to the end and then pout… Because things don't happen in their own way. Yet skipping the middle is their map each day.
 *  I don't understand failure of "stepping" things out

I don’t understand their failure to plan Their refusal to view the lay of the land They never buy time to think things through They never sit back to consider what’s due.

The cheek of these folks who abhor as abuse Reviews of their practices, seen as obtuse. They rant and decry what they might have known Had they read the research and made it their own.

Forward we march armed with Marzano Begone dither, 10 Questions our ammo. Order to chaos, results our quest. Profession EDUCATION, becomes the best ! ||  ||
