9. Video of Teaching Artists : A rating scale was developed to assess the quality of the Teaching Artists who were working with our target teachers. Two coders independently rated a mid residency Session (Time 1) and a late residency session (Time 2). Reliability was 88.7% agreement. Table 2 indicates that the difference noted At the mid-point of the residencies was not apparent by the latter part of the residencies.

16. System, school, community, and families involvement This is one area we would suggest needs to be evaluated for assessing the impact of our reform efforts as Guskey notes (2000). However, until funding agencies begin to value the importance of allowing fiscal support to do so, this area may continue to be under estimated in impact. We can say we have anecdotal evidence that school level support has been vital to our work and that has been initiated by our partner at the school system level.
17. Positive Student Outcomes Our colleagues, Ann Kruger, Audrey Ambrosino, and Lynda Kapsch present in this symposium reporting positive student outcomes in cognitive and social areas. It is our goal to ultimately analyze the PL factors that could help us account for the variance we see in student outcomes.

Carol Jones has spoken to you about the Context and Content of our Professional Learning Model. I want to share with you information and data supporting the rest of this model.
This suggests that the residency enactments were similar by the end of the sessions on the categories rated. The means were in the 4-5 point range, which represents the highest scores on the rating scale. Thus, we can assume that teachers were given opportunity to observe the modeled teaching artists enactments at a highly skilled level. Second, we can interpret student outcomes without concern for a teaching artist confound.
We will use this model to guide our research and evaluation of teacher learning and with a continued use of multiple measures we hope to move towards greater understanding of how teachers learn and how their learning impacts their students learning.
