@cvarsalona @DavisWelcome Admin is SURPRISED I ask for evaluations after PD. I tell them it only makes me better at my job. #engagechat

DavisWelcome Sep 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@LauraGWillis Awesome! #engagechat

PegGrafwallner Sep 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5 Be the best you can be & give your Ss what they need. If we do right by our Ss, we cannot fail-and neither will they! #engagechat

@UVEIconnect Yes, they are! :) #engagechat

JKatzaman Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5 Observations come with the territory. Teach your best as you normally do. Play to the students, not the observer. #EngageChat

cvarsalona Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@maverikcrq @DavisWelcome I am a consultant now after decades in public ed who also welcomes feedback. #EngageChat

JoelBSperanza Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Observation to give feedback is bogus. How can you provide meaningful feedback from spending 1 hour in a teacher's classroom? #EngageChat

PegGrafwallner Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5 Have faith in you & your work. Create a positive support system whose only 'agenda' is to support/assist/love Ss. #engagechat

Rdene915 Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@DavisWelcome #engagechat A5 Be yourself, no shows, regular you that Ss see daily, the only way to get valuable, meaningfl fdbk to grow

JTillman1999 Sep 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5 Use the process as a growth tool not as a show & tell opportunity. Be true to you are & how your classroom runs daily. #engagechat

joannavrteaches Sep 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A5 try not to worry! Be yourself and forget putting on a dog and pony show. Your admin knows you are still learning and growing #engagechat

lesliefarooq Sep 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@jascjasc It was first introduced to me through Learning Walks PD given by @PatHandly20. I have since made a Google Form for it! #engagechat

cvarsalona Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5 Advice 2 new T on observation: relax, be prepared, passionate about what you are delivering, watch S moves, reflect, respond #engagechat

ChristineMBolen Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: We are all in it together! Don't get discouraged by anything you feel is neg. Build your PLN & you can find ways to grow. #engagechat

PaulaMaeker Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: It's always about S learning. Stay focused on purpose, lead with a growth mindset & extend GRACE to yourself #engagechat

misshdavis Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@JoelBSperanza I think it can work to start a conversation if there's something specific a teacher wants feedback on #engagechat

maverikcrq Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5) Process is meant to be a catcha, not a gotcha. Catch them doing something good. Coach them to do better #engagechat @DavisWelcome

MirandaTReagan Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: Stay growth focused! The evaluation process only makes you better if you are willing to constantly learn and change. #engagechat

CardwellTeachMe Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: Had this chat earlier this week with a new T! Glean as much feedback as possible from observations and use it to grow. #engagechat

travelanji Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A4: I noticed (ex: 1 student dominate discussion). Have you noticed that? How have you tried to deal w/ it? May I suggest-- #EngageChat

irishteacher6 Sep 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@polonerd It's like with our students. We want to be helpful but not crush their spirit! Point out what's going well too. #EngageChat

FloradTeach Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 First .. Breathe. Do what is best for students and focus on one thing you want to bring light on #EngageChat

larkscience Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 put the dog/pony away, do your best, let it go, then go out for happy hour after w/Ts. Meet admin at post-obs with a smile. #EngageChat

JoelBSperanza Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@misshdavis I think if you're asking for feedback on something you know is a problem, you probably already know the answer. #EngageChat

maverikcrq Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5) I made an obs tool for #DOK. Marks & measures where Ts are that day. Guides to show how to get to next level #engagechat @DavisWelcome

polonerd Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Here Ye! Here Ye! Attention all Admins. Please pass this on to admins not doing this. #EngageChat https://t.co/tIB9S0dJlz

PegGrafwallner Sep 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5 Have faith in you & your work. Create a positive support system whose only 'agenda' is to support/assist/love Ss. #engagechat

cvarsalona Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 @AdamBrownEDU We must build a positive environment first so new Ts can be comfortable giving their best in observations #EngageChat

lesliefarooq Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5: I think this A really depends on the district based on the wide range of answers I see. How is it being done where they are? #engagechat

StantonAlana Sep 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 Love your job, love your students, and you will grow. Each year choose one thing to heavily improve on. Think Vocation #EngageChat

misshdavis Sep 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@JoelBSperanza But identifying a problem doesn't mean you have the solution, and a new perspective might help you find it #engagechat

RhAnJe Sep 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@CardwellTeachMe #engagechat Your A:4 - "feedback lays a foundation for growth" 👍😀👍 Can you hear my AMEN! https://t.co/cERrQlZ08Y

CardwellTeachMe Sep 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4: Ts must understand the difference between constructive feedback&plain ol' criticism. Feedback lays a foundation for growth. #engagechat

DavisWelcome Sep 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@StantonAlana Awesome! #engagechat

polonerd Sep 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@irishteacher6 Exactly! BTW - I drive by your school all the time (I think). My daughter is at St. Ambrose! #EngageChat

JoelBSperanza Sep 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@misshdavis "come watch me stuff this thing up then tell me how to fix that?" Not many people are actually going to do this. #EngageChat

Robcat17 Sep 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@JoelBSperanza #EngageChat I talked to a fellow T that she was only engaging 3 students once & she changed. No 1 ever mentioned it 2 her.

DavisWelcome Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Fantastic! #engagechat https://t.co/aojk5WRzpq

littlesa2002 Sep 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@DavisWelcome I observe Ss often during the year. The most learning seems to happen when Ss are doing most of the talking.

jwalkup Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@maverikcrq @DavisWelcome I have developed a #DOK observation tool as well. #engagechat See https://t.co/f8sxj01WNL https://t.co/2Q91vockkc

bobbyfagogenis Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

#engagechat A5: an observation is part of being a life long learner; embrace it!

DavisWelcome Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Thank you for your great participation this evening! #EngageChat https://t.co/dl39Y4ZSIP

UVEIconnect Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A5: Evaluation is not coaching and may not bring about change in practice. Seek out people who can coach you. #engagechat #ntchat #feedback

MrRussoRH Sep 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A5: listen to peers who have done it before, ask lots of ?s as needed, remember to be natural- no dog & pony shows. Be real😊. #EngageChat

polonerd Sep 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Thanks for a great end to my work week. The learning never ends, but sometimes we need to put in a bookmark. #FamilyTime #EngageChat

irishteacher6 Sep 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@polonerd What a small world! I went there for my education degree. Yes, my school is near it! #engagechat

kcoffeyteaches Sep 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A5 Just be yourself, don't provide a big show. Have classroom following normal routine. #engagechat

AdamBrownEDU Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Observations project fear...catch what's going wrong. Everyone has to view it as how we can grow #engagechat https://t.co/JvMzLpMJRk

joannavrteaches Sep 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@cvarsalona @AdamBrownEDU funny but after 30 years I still got nervous and anxious about observations! Why?

RhAnJe Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@maverikcrq #engagechat Your answer 3: 👍😀👍 And are the students generating Qs that probe deeper among their peers? https://t.co/2kmwBEEIdZ

maverikcrq Sep 9 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3) Who's doing more of the talking & teaching - the T or the Ss? Are the Ss doing work or discussing how & why #engagechat @DavisWelcome

JoelBSperanza Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Please stop visiting classrooms to tell people what they're doing wrong...There's a better way. https://t.co/cERJPlyCc8 #EngageChat

FloradTeach Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Thanks as always @DavisWelcome and everyone at #engagechat. Have a great weekend

AnnRich3127 Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

This is only a snapshot of what students receive daily. Be passionate about your craft and the great reviews will follow #EngageChat

misshdavis Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@JoelBSperanza Depends on the culture of the observations and the trust between teachers #engagechat

StantonAlana Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Loved it! Have a great one! #engagechat https://t.co/UCCwUgaAuI

Robcat17 Sep 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@DavisWelcome #EngageChat Q5: Ask a fellow teacher to observe you and ask for tips to improve.
