    #admin2b think Ts are more open to feedback during informal walkthrus than formal oBS
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:07 PM EST

    Hey Joel - glad to have you here #admin2b We're on question 1
    In reply to @Teach_Learn88
  • KeriCollison Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: I try to give feedback specific to the personal growth goal that the T has selected so that's it is meaningful to them. #admin2b
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: Know your faculty and the triggers that block them from receiving feedback as intended. #admin2b
  • MrRussoRH Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: give them just enough to think about...an actionable step, a specific idea or concept. Time and more feedback to follow too. #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: Specific & conversational. FB should be about conversations that causes reflection not a lecture. What is 1 thing to take away? #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Do you have a way of keeping that in front of you as you enter the class -or is that for planned visits only? #admin2b
    In reply to @KeriCollison
  • tyarnold18 Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: Needs to be derived from what the teacher wants their focus to be. This way its not a shock & is intentional as u observe. #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Hi Ben!!! So glad you joined us tonight! I agree with the follow up idea! #admin2b

    In reply to @TheReal_MrEvans
  • TheReal_MrEvans Nov 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: allow teachers an opportunity to share their reflections first and then hit them with praise and constructive feedback #admin2b
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Determine the skill and will of the teacher. Feedback can be effective when the teacher can understand and relate to it. #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    Q2: #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    #admin2b What ques can we ask Ts to help them reflect
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1. Determine the skill and will of the teacher. Feedback can be effective when the teacher can understand and relate to it. #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A1: We are modeling. How do we want teachers to give feedback to students? #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A2: Clear learning goals in a + learner-centered environment, active engagement strategies r used allowing 4 S Voice & Choice... #admin2b
  • Teach_Learn88 Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A1) Make sure any feedback is based off of facts with examples and not personal opinions of what good teaching is #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Amen to being a conversation vs. a versation! :) #admin2b
  • MrRussoRH Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Yes!!! Follow up on what matters! Meaningfulness stems from their interests! #admin2b
    In reply to @KeriCollison
  • BrianDunleavy16 Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A1 Align your comments and reflection to the goals the Ts make at the beginning of the year. Area of growth focus! #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    I agree. How do we build culture so both can be meaningful and support growth? #admin2b
    In reply to @donald_gately
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2: relationships and safety. Does every student feel welcome and appreciated...students need these to grow in their learning. #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2 relationships with kids -- kindness - respect - caring -- patience ... these things.... #admin2b

  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    yes~ especially since it's a snapshot and you don't see what led to that point or what's planned to follow #admin2b
    In reply to @Teach_Learn88
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    I would think is the idea of Formative vs. Summative. #admin2b
    • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
      #admin2b think Ts are more open to feedback during informal walkthrus than formal oBS
  • BWileyPOB Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST

    A2: Student engagement and teacher versus student talk #admin2b
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    If a T sees themselves w/ strengths that you don’t see, ask questions rather than challenge their identity as a T. #admin2b

    a2 #admin2b
    • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
      A2: Must see: students engaged and talking- less T talk than S talk, differentiated instruction, Student friendly class, culture of caring.
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    if we build a growth mindset culture then everyone wants feedback... #admin2b

    A2 Engagement and different level questioning to engage all learners. Student choice. #admin2b

    And feedback should be within a few hours to Days..not weeks or months! Let Ts know where to strengthen. It's for the Ss! #admin2b
    In reply to @BryanMcDonaldPD
  • amgonza Nov 6 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Great point! Our feedback to teachers will trickle down to students. #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Q3: #admin2b
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2. Teacher here. Wondering how much say an administrator really has here when they need to closely follow the Danielson rubric. #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A3 I don't evaluate in my position, but I've seen admin who have to scribe on laptops, and have used rubrics for walk through. #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A3: Feedback is not so much abt the form; but rather about the data/evidence presented during the conversation. #admin2b
  • BrianDunleavy16 Nov 6 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A3 I️ really enjoy the seating chat tool for novice teachers who are working on classroom management skills. Very easy to quantify #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2: Tone and safety. Obviously look at engagement and learning but students have to feel safe - emotionally & physically. #admin2b
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: Simple form with 3 boxes. What I noticed, thoughts I had and what I wonder... #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3 I have a google form on my phone --- love Voxer to share feedback #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    That rubric lays out some non- negotiables I believe. conferencing can steer off rubric and the discussion would be most valuable #admin2b
    In reply to @secondary_math
  • BWileyPOB Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: I️ typically observe the classroom as a whole before beginning to write anything. Imp artifacts and student work can be missed! #admin2b
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: as a teacher, I'm interested in seeing the responses! Always great to see how the current leaders are conducting observations! #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    Great look-fors for a positive & a safe learning environment.#admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    Q4 in 2minutes🔥 #admin2b
  • BWileyPOB Nov 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3b: I️ also always try to speak with Ss and see how their lesson/unit is unfolding. It is important to gauge their involvement #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    I like that you mentioned empowered students. #admin2B
    • BWileyPOB Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST

  • TheReal_MrEvans Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3: Ideally, I️ would like to observe in a way that I️ feel like a participant and can speak to the experience of the student. #admin2b
  • Teach_Learn88 Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3) I usually used paper and pencil before inputing digitally. Gives me time to concentrate on the what is occurring and not typing #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3: Try not to write anything when in the classroom unless a specific quote from T or S. Spend my time listening and watching. #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    definitely - if they can't share the lesson's objective - purpose or what they're doing. Then why are they doing it. #admin2b
    In reply to @BWileyPOB
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    How do principals feel about Ts approaching you to discuss observations? Is it a good or bad idea for Ts to do that? #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:21 PM EST
    Well said! :) #admin2B
    • KeriCollison Nov 6 @ 8:13 PM EST

    I wish we all had time to video tape, then watch together and discuss - in a climate/culture of trust and mutual respect. #admin2b #ideal
  • tyarnold18 Nov 6 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: area for strengths, keep pushing it, next steps to grow. Each area has a place to put in data and artifacts. #admin2b
  • TheReal_MrEvans Nov 6 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: I️ often hear about how being present in the room with your head buried in a comp. leaves Ts feeling anxious. #admin2b
  • DrBody4Life Nov 6 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: I record the positives, the pleasantly unexpected, and the things I need clarification on. I never look for “negatives.” #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:22 PM EST
    Q4: #admin2b
  • MrRussoRH Nov 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A3: we are expected to script and use Danielsons framework. See and hear evidence. #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    not an evaluative admin but if a T approached me asking for feedback prior to - I would see that as growth mindset #admin2B
    In reply to @acottos
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    Great point! Conferences can lead to deeper discussions of ideas that aren't necessarily given as feedback initially. #admin2b
    In reply to @GenieneD
  • TheReal_MrEvans Nov 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A3: Therefore, I️ want an authentic experience becoming a participant. Ease the teacher a bit! #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    Yes - agree - even rockstar teachers want feedback that can help them "stretch"... #admin2b
    In reply to @D4Griffin3
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A4: Asking the right questions for reflection, providing data that is specific & adequate in sampling. #admin2b
  • D4Griffin3 Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3) We also record ourselves teaching and provide feedback to each other in small groups. #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A4 let Ts reflect -- "talk about....." #admin2b
  • PrincipalNyberg Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    a4. I think you need to push them out of their comfort zones a bit. Put sand in their sandals. #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Plus the formal observation results should not come as a surprise. Not if you've been in their room throughout #admin2b
    In reply to @secondary_math
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:25 PM EST
    After the lesson fine. During the walkthrough not so good. I never wanted to be a bigger distraction. #admin2B
    In reply to @acottos
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:25 PM EST
    A4: always powerful when Ts know you are aligned and are working toward reaching same goals. #admin2b
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:25 PM EST
    A4: have Ts do a pre-observation self-assessment. See where they think their strengths and weaknesses are. Build goals from these. #admin2b
  • MrRussoRH Nov 6 @ 8:25 PM EST
    Negatives never help in fostering feedback...only defensiveness. #admin2b
    In reply to @DrBody4Life
  • BWileyPOB Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A4: Provide opportunities for Ts to take part in PD/lead a PD session of their own on what they are great at to build confidence #admin2b
  • PegGrafwallner Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A4 As Instruc Coach/Rdg Spec, I am not in an admin position; but am seen leader. When collaborating, I look for what Ts DON'T say #admin2b

    Agh! Last ?, but here!! Jodie, from Ohio. Had to take care of my momma tonight! 😉#admin2b
  • BrianDunleavy16 Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A4 I️ like the coaching form of questions you can guide a response and reflection towards what growth areas exist #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    can you give an example? #admin2b
    In reply to @PegGrafwallner
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    I think culture is huge. If it is positive conversations can take place. If perception is gotcha then walkthroughs are ineffective. #admin2b
    In reply to @GenieneD
  • tyarnold18 Nov 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A4:based on the preconf Im looking for specific ideas but good teaching is good teaching. My push it area is where I focus 4 growth #admin2b
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Agreed. An admin should have a clear vision and supportive presence so teachers know expectations for success. #admin2b
    In reply to @GenieneD
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    That's what I'm asking about. I agree that observations shouldn't be distractions. #admin2b
    In reply to @BryanMcDonaldPD
  • DrBody4Life Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A4: I NEVER use the, “How do you think it went?” question when debriefing with a teacher. I dislike that. Feels like a trap. #admin2b
  • D4Griffin3 Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A4) Ask what areas do you want to continue to develop in. In short, #WhatAreYourGoals🤔🤔🤔 and #HowCanIHelpYouAchieveThem😁😁😁 #admin2b
  • Teach_Learn88 Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A4) Increasing informal observations. Teachers will be able to see that you actually care about them than just meeting a deadline. #admin2b
  • donald_gately Nov 6 @ 8:27 PM EST
    yes --- use "Notes" then e-mail to the teacher ... works nicely -- tone of voice is key #admin2b
    In reply to @D4Griffin3
  • jodiepierpoint Nov 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A4. Reflection is key to growth. I️ journal daily. I️ ask questions & ask for feedback. We grow by asking! #admin2b
  • mrsyohePOB Nov 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Ts can reflect and identify growth areas by recording themselves teach a lesson #admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Sorry, late. Harvey in Cheney, WA. I think pre-obs. conferences r really important. Find out what the teacher want u to observe. #admin2b
  • andreakornowski Nov 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A4: Begin with conversations around the data & seek to be solution oriented. Create opportunities for a problem solving summit. #admin2b
  • MiriamCheuk - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Last question. #admin2b

  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:30 PM EST
    I agree! Many teachers are self aware of skills that need growth, even if they need motivation & support to actually make a change #admin2b
    In reply to @acottos
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:30 PM EST
    Interesting. What if the relationship is +? How do you determine if your perception is the same as the T or does that not matter? #admin2b
    In reply to @DrBody4Life
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:30 PM EST
    A4: it has to begin with quest that causes reflec. Ideally aligned to Ts growth plan. Often times quest will cause Ts to I.D goals. #admin2b

    A1: It's specific, might identify with teacher goals. Includes follow up conversation. #admin2b
  • acottos Nov 6 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A5: create a time to reflect. Give time to evaluate themselves and discuss after a time to review the lesson. Create growth goals. #admin2b

    A1Before conducting obs. focus on wh th T asked 4 feedback on. This show respect 4 T, doesn't mean u can't obs. other T&S behaviors #admin2b

    Being visible in classrooms helps to remove the stigma of #Gotcha when performing walkthroughs. #admin2b
  • GenieneD - Moderator Nov 6 @ 8:32 PM EST
    I'll post the storify tomorrow morning - night all! #admin2b

    A5: find out if there’s someone else on staff they can hear feedback from w/o getting defensive. #admin2b
  • andreakornowski Nov 6 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A5: Provide structures for reflection for that staff member. #admin2b
  • jodiepierpoint Nov 6 @ 8:33 PM EST
    5. If not student centered then it’s a losing battle! 😞. Sad situation. #admin2b
  • secondary_math Nov 6 @ 8:33 PM EST
    A4. Ask a teacher 4 their students' favorite lessons or when their students struggle most. Teachers must find ways to become aware. #admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    Post-obs. conferences r also critical, ask T what he/she thought of the lesson. A key is discussing decision-making. Be positive. #admin2b
  • TheReal_MrEvans Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A5: allow more authentic conversations to happen. Help them see through action you are on their side. #admin2b
  • Teach_Learn88 Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    A5)Try to build a relationship, present data and evidence, leave all opinions out of convo. Data has no opinions! #admin2b
  • BrianDunleavy16 Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    Thanks all for the chat! Have a great week! #admin2b
  • BryanMcDonaldPD Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    I think if Ts have to approach me for feedback I am not supporting growth. I’m compliant. Conversations after ALL obs. #admin2b

  • D4Griffin3 Nov 6 @ 8:34 PM EST
    I want to be visible in classrooms as it builds credibility with the educators when we begin having feedback #GoesBothWays #admin2b

    I always tried to do it within 24 hours 48 at the latest. If longer how do we have a conversation around the visit? #admin2b

  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:40 PM EST
    A3. I scripted-taped, based on wh T asked me to look 4. Also wrote three key points to obs: 1. objective, 2. T strategies, & S work.#admin2b
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:40 PM EST
    Got it. Love the idea of giving T opportunity to contextualize the observation. #admin2B
    • DrBody4Life Nov 6 @ 8:36 PM EST
      Pt. 3: “How do you think it went?” at the start of our debriefing...just feels like a set up. I never liked it, so I don’t do it to others.
      In reply to @mexusmx
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:42 PM EST
    A3 On the 3 key points I looked for: 1. objective 2. How did the T carry out the obj. 3. What S work indicated the obj. was met. #admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:43 PM EST
    A2. I did get a little subjective. Observed: r teachers enhancing enthusiasm? Is there a love of students?Can the T "read" students?#admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A3 While script taping it is critical to walk around the room, checkout student work. Be positive. #admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:47 PM EST
    A tip.1 reason it is important to have non-eval walk thrus is so when observations occur, P's not a stranger, so obs. r authentic. #admin2b

    A4. Great Q Post-obs should occur 1 to 2 days after obs. Ask T what they thought of lesson. concentrate on agreed areas in advance.#admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:52 PM EST
    A4. Critical to ask about decision-making. What worked? What would u do differently? Recommend resources, books, articles, other T #admin2b
  • mexusmx Nov 6 @ 8:53 PM EST
    I agree 100%. If you don’t think you have room for improvement, you have no business in education! #admin2b

  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:55 PM EST
    A4 Re: growth areas. For an honest conference, trust, respect, listening, & a desire 4 feedback r necessary. What is the culture?. #admin2b
  • virgilalligator Nov 6 @ 8:57 PM EST
    A5 Find the common ground, i.e., heart--what do we both want (student achievement) & what are we seeing vs not seeing to achieve it #admin2b
  • HarveyAlvy1 Nov 6 @ 8:57 PM EST
    Q5. Culture is critical. Does th T feel th P can be trusted? Need to remind T that we have mutual goals: S success and your success.#admin2b
  • PegGrafwallner Nov 6 @ 8:59 PM EST
    A5 T success = P success. As SPED P, I often wanted T to listen to my perspective & give me face time. I wanted to be a partner #admin2b
