What does this mean for teachers?
Starting after this most recent observation cycle, teachers will have someone from either the admin or specialist team perform walkthroughs of their classroom, during which they will utilize the specific "Look For's" checklist that pertains to the teachers' goal area. The specialist or admin team member will then hold a brief meeting some time after the walkthrough to review the data and share progress with teachers. Teachers should have a walkthrough performed once every two weeks. After two walkthroughs have been done, a member of the administrative team will meet with the teacher and discuss goal progress and whether or not the current goal has been met and a new goal needs to be created, or if there is still work to do towards meeting that goal.
Each Focus area and Walkthrough form is linked below.
