Using Observations to Promote Continuous Improvement

This training includes two face-to-face and one online meeting.

The 2014-15 Effectiveness Project audit data was clear - educators want meaningful observation data, feedback and coaching to improve their practice and grow their skills. This two-day course, with one online support session, will help evaluators and peer coaches to:

• Collect effective and efficient evidence during observations
• Focus and align evidence collection to school/district priority areas
• Practice evidence collection on sample lessons
• Use effective feedback strategies
• Learn efficient ways to provide feedback
• Use coaching to help educators grow in professional practice

Participants will:

• Get feedback from evidence collected at the school site
• Practice giving feedback on sample lessons
• Practice coaching with sample teachers

Workshop Objectives

• Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of evidence collection, effective feedback and coaching for educator professional growth.
