Classroom observations are critical to help teachers better understand how to improve instruction, as well as classroom management skills. But administrator/teacher power dynamics, the influence of personal identity and bias, a lack of trust, and other issues can reduce their effectiveness.
In this 20-minute DA Ed Talk, learn how to overcome these common challenges to make classroom observations in any school or district more impactful, by establishing a culture of trust that is focused on shared goals of growth and excellence.
Topics will include:
- How power dynamics, personal identity and bias impact observations
- Ways to establish a culture of trust between administrators and teachers
- How to create a common language that improves clarity, reduces misunderstandings, and builds confidence
- How to align evidence to rubrics and develop plans for observation and coaching cycles
