Description
The results are in: observations are not improving teaching and learning. In fact, a recent effort by the Gates Foundation to enhance the teacher evaluation process failed to achieve significant improvement. The current design of observations creates obstacles to teacher risk-taking. Teachers fear negative evaluations and lack confidence in their supervisors because a trusting relationship has not been established. This book presents a new evaluation model that understands people perform best when they feel safe and supported. It proposes a schema-changing approach that begins with regular, 20-minute observations per week, followed by collegial conversations driven by reflective questions, sharing of teaching strengths, and building of safe and trusting relationships with teachers. By focusing on mindset and trust, teachers are encouraged to take risks and innovate, leading to remarkable teaching transformations and improved student learning.
