WHY I VISIT SCHOOLS ... OFTEN
By: Yvette Ledford
1. Developing Relationships - The relationships I have with principals, teachers, and paraprofessionals is vital to the effectiveness of my job. Although we live in a world dominated by technology, I believe that a positive relationship begins with visibility.
2. Staying Current - In order to effectively assist the curriculum needs of teachers and students, my experience in the classroom must remain current.
3. Reciprocal Learning - As educators, we must acknowledge the value in learning from each other. I am both director and student during my observations.
4. Sharing is Caring - As we continue to move toward a collaborative culture, sharing ideas is essential. I share instructional strategies with you. Likewise, I share your innovative ideas with other teachers.
5. Praise - I really enjoy highlighting the extraordinary work you do as educators. In order to highlight it, I have to see it!
