Join Dr. Justin Baeder of The Principal Center for a 12-month book study and implementation programme on changing teacher practice through evidence-driven feedback conversations. We'll explore:
A sustainable model for getting into classrooms every day and talking with teachers about their practice
How to set up systems to deal with the productivity challenges and interruptions that can make it difficult to get into classrooms consistently
How to develop a daily and weekly schedule of classroom visits, so you see each teacher every two weeks and have a brief conversation
Developing shared expectations, so you have a precise, common language for talking about practice
Identifying school-level improvement priorities based on your feedback conversations
Building the instructional leadership capacity of teachers serving as team/grade/division leaders
Navigating the relationship between informal classroom visits, formal observations, and annual evaluations
