Kim Marshall's online course on rethinking teacher evaluation
Are you happy with your teacher evaluation process? Or do you and your colleagues see it as a compliance exercise that rarely affects what happens in classrooms and wastes a lot of time that could be used much more productively?
If the latter, you'll be interested in Kim's highly interactive once-a-month course on rethinking supervision, coaching, and evaluation of teachers. Starting in late September, we'll meet online for 90 minutes (3:30-5:00 p.m. Eastern) and explore an innovative approach that is being used by a growing number of schools around the world. The basic idea: short, frequent classroom visits followed by face-to-face conversations that build trust, affirm what's working, and continuously improve teaching and learning.
Here are the dates (all Thursdays) and the topics:
- September 24 - The moral imperative for a better approach
- October 15 - Mini-observations: nuts and bolts
- November 12 - Face-to-face debrief conversations and short summaries (with an AI assist)
- December 10 - Using a rubric with the teacher's input to sum up the school year
- January 7 - Making student learning central to mini-observations and teacher team meetings
- February 4 - Differentiation and unit/lesson planning: what to look for
- March 18 - Student surveys, difficult conversations
- April 15 - Time management - fitting it all in
Here'sthe registration linkwith more information. School and district teams are encouraged (at a reduced per-person rate).
I hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to transform supervisor-teacher interactions and greatly improve results.
