The Principal's POV on...Growing & Developing Professionally (4e)
Before we dive into 4e, think back to our conversations on 4b & 4c, and on how our routines to support these two components impact one another. Components 4d and 4e share a similar relationship...after all, the more you participate in a professional learning community, the more you take on a leadership role in a professional learning community, the more OWNERSHIP you have on your growth as an educator.
That said, let's forget about Danielson's FFT & 4e for a moment (WHAT?!?!), because what we're really talking about here isn't proficiency on a rubric. What we are talking about is being amazing educators & lifelong learners, and that means focusing on just two things:
- Collaboration: What regular routines have you established to conduct and share research with colleagues, administration, coaches, etc. both in-person and online? Are you taking the time to integrate what is learned and conduct action research on its effectiveness? What artifacts are you collecting to show student growth and to help you turn-key what has been successful?
- Reflection: How do you respond to feedback from parents, peers and administrators? Do you reflect honestly and frequently...or do you cut/paste the recommendations from formal observations? More importantly though, are you turning your reflections into action? What artifacts are you collecting to show student growth and to help you turn-key what has been successful?
Always remember, when you're looking for artifacts & evidence to support Domain 4, focus on practices that you can infuse into your regular routines, or that we're already engaged in! This way you're not adding more to your plate! Thank you for a fantastic week & don't forget to share your thoughts on how continue to have "grown & developed" this year via email, during a Chat & Chew or via social media!
