  • AmberNeighbor May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Initial is frightened - Will anyone like me? Then I realize I know what I am doing and they are there to help. #ksedchat
  • kelleremix May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Excitement! I love knowing that I'm going to get feedback on what's going well and some advice on how to grow. #ksedchat

      Q1: Anxiety or excitement? What is your initial reaction to hearing you will be OBSERVED? #ksedchat
  • SandyRempel May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Early in career, nervous but now see it as a good thing, growth opportunity for both parties and support from admin. #ksedchat
  • mattwachel May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 observations should start w/ purpose for being there - is it to provide feedback or part of evaluation system? #ksedchat
  • Mrs_Stueve May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Anxious, the min they leave I feel "What did they think?" "Did they like what they saw" "Maybe they didn't get the whole idea" #ksedchat
  • LemarrTreadwell May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Hello #ksedchat. Lemarr Treadwell, Fresno CA.

    A1: BRING IT! I love what I do and want to share it with the world. My door is always open! I love feedback too! #ksedchat
  • SJNeill13 May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT

  • MrsWarren_RM121 May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Nervous b/c will it be what they want to see, Proud b/c someone wants to see what I'm doing in my classroom! #ksedchat
  • zlatnikj May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: "This again?" Seems like it has become a hoop 2 jump through for Ts & Admin alike. T to T observations I view as more valuable #ksedchat
  • 8to3withMrsV May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: first few years it would have been total anxiety- now I welcome it. Any opportunity for reflection and growth is awesome! #ksedchat

      Q1: Anxiety or excitement? What is your initial reaction to hearing you will be OBSERVED? #ksedchat

    A1 Anxiety...then happiness because I can share what is going on in my room with friends! #ksedchat
  • JennyStoops May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Bring it on- I love it! I see observations as an opportunity to grow & learn from those who come in. My door is always open! #ksedchat
  • heather_newkirk May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Equal amounts of both! I want to showcase my classroom but am terrified of failure. (Still working on my own #growthmindset) #ksedchat
  • JillWebs May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: I used to have anxiety to be observed by a T. After more experience & confidence, now I get excited. Admin never worry me #KSedchat
  • PrincipalPaul May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Key word is HELP, as in you're helping those who observe you as a master of your craft. #ksedchat
    • AmberNeighbor May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT
      A1: Initial is frightened - Will anyone like me? Then I realize I know what I am doing and they are there to help. #ksedchat
  • ccouchman May 22 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Many people came in/out of my room that observations never bothered me but I LOVED reflecting, learning from it with them. #ksedchat
    • JasonKohls May 22 @ 9:08 PM EDT
      Q1: Anxiety or excitement? What is your initial reaction to hearing you will be OBSERVED? #ksedchat
  • SJNeill13 May 22 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    I am right there with ya! Ts are not perfect - throw that myth out the window! We are learners - striving to get better for Ss! #ksedchat
    • 8to3withMrsV May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT
      A1: first few years it would have been total anxiety- now I welcome it. Any opportunity for reflection and growth is awesome! #ksedchat

  • mattwachel May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1 love being in rooms asking Ss "what are you learning?" & hearing how they are applying learning #ksedchat
  • AnnaCalven May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Admin = Fear b/c I feel lie I have to prove myself. Others = come join the weirdness and see what my amazing Ss are doing. #ksedchat
  • Mrs_Stueve May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Same here! & if it does flop, I feel like they're disappointed! That's why I always invite ppl to come after I've it a few times. #ksedchat
    In reply to @Greg_Froese
  • LemarrTreadwell May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1. There is a way to remove this anxiety in Ts and Ss observations. Warning: Disruptive Technology. #ObserveMe #KSedchat
  • drjulieconnor May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Agreed, Samantha. Confident teachers are not afraid of critical feedback. In fact, they/we welcome it! #KSedchat
    In reply to @SJNeill13
  • MrsTillitson May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: Both. What meaningful feedback to improve. Not just "a score. #ksedchat

    In reply to @PrincipalPaul
  • JillWebs May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    I agree & wish we could do more, our schedule has most Ts on plan at the same time. Makes it hard to observe. #ksedchat
    • zlatnikj May 22 @ 9:10 PM EDT
      A1: "This again?" Seems like it has become a hoop 2 jump through for Ts & Admin alike. T to T observations I view as more valuable #ksedchat
  • PrincipalPaul May 22 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    This is why it's important for us to always share,a bucket-filing Sticky note, a Vox, or, better yet, take a pic and tweet it out! #ksedchat
    • Mrs_Stueve May 22 @ 9:09 PM EDT
      A1: Anxious, the min they leave I feel "What did they think?" "Did they like what they saw" "Maybe they didn't get the whole idea" #ksedchat

  • JasonKohls May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Having adm that habitually are in our rooms has helped with that feeling. It takes a while, but it does shift. #ksedchat

  • perezhasclass May 22 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Excitedly nervous! Excitement level dependent on quality of feedback provided. I want to improve so be real in your critique! #ksedchat

    In reply to @JasonKohls
  • AmberNeighbor May 22 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    I agree. having the admin in my room all the time is helpful and does not bother me or the kids anymore. #ksedchat

    Good point. This is why trust & collaboration b/w admin and T's has to be laid out firmly. Admin should not be "feared"...EVER. #ksedchat

    Q2: Why are T observations seen as "one more thing to do" or "just for evaluations" by many Ts? #ksedchat
  • Greg_Froese May 22 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Yes! I love to have that conversation after that usually leads to new ideas/inspiration. I've also enjoyed tweeting out pics. #ksedchat

      Principals need to help take the reins with this. Create TIME for this and strategically push others to GOAL. Get Out and Learn. #ksedchat
