YEARBOOK
EVAAS Teacher Reports
Walkthroughs and Observations
Have begun and will be conducted by Robinson, Pollock, Overcash, Hill, Conley, and Cottone on a weekly basis. Teacher's will receive an e-mail with the data recorded during the 5 minute walkthrough. The goal of these walkthroughs is to monitor what we desire in all classrooms...i.e. Balanced literacy, high level questioning, student engagement, math manipulative use, i-can statements, student goal tracking, instructional assistant with students, and digital resources that cross the line. 5 minutes does not show everything thus the reason to collect data over time.
Observations:
This is the best part of my job. I have been the witness to student learning in each observation I have completed. First round of observations will be complete by end of October. #veryimpressive
