    You have to be able to take the advice you are willing to give in order to grow. The important part is for it to be relevant and sincere and not just based on smoke and mirrors. You have to see and know things first hand to give advice. #ohedchat

    A1: Effective evaluation and feedback has benefits for the giver, the receiver, and the organization writ large. #ohedchat
  • Vroom6 - Moderator Feb 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: The evaluation process has made my ability to reflect become that much more a part of my growth. Internal reflection and externally sharing has been huge! Being presented insight into the work we do is essential. Perception versus reality. #ohedchat
  • DruTomlin4Edu Feb 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Right on, Dennis! Key word for me is "potential". When an evaluation is rushed or tokenized, so much potential is squandered. Must maximize the evaulation potential 4 all involved! #ohedchat

    A4: Very similar. I know a major impact on teacher’s evaluation is the growth of their students...in many cases, that’s how I look at my students. I try to preach on trying to get better every day. This is applied to myself as a teacher and my students! #GrowthMindSet #ohedchat

      Laws do not dictate behavior. Laws are reactive to actions, and only prescribe punishments. They do not prevent anything. Example: opioid crisis, meth addiction, fed laws on weed circumvented by Colorado.

    A4 - I love my supervisor. He is a great man. But, I would never just sit in one spot and type. That never allows for true evaluations. You miss tone, connections, the ability to discuss learning and most importantly all the little details during great teaching. #ohedchat

    A4. I believe it does when we are looking at it based on growth. We set personal growth goals and are evaluated based on this along with a data component. Ss set goals in the fall based on MAP scores. #ohedchat
  • DruTomlin4Edu Feb 21 @ 9:41 PM EST
    Good point, Dennis! Perhaps "coaching them up" should also B used as we support students--instead of evaluate or assess? #ohedchat
    • schug_dennis Feb 21 @ 9:38 PM EST
      A4 It may be semantics, but this idea challenges my thinking, often. Wondering... Is a teacher's job to "evaluate"? Or is it to "assess"? And if it's to assess, is it to assess the students? Or the teaching AND learning? #ohedchat

    A4: the whole process feels out of touch. Test kids because that proves what? I know not popular to say but jobs aren't looking for kids that can do test well. They want outside the box thinkers. I think the evaluation process for teachers is moving in the right direct #ohedchat

    A5. Great question! Within the OTES model, evaluation is individual. Sure - you can reference collaboration in the "prof responsibilities " section. However, teachers in silos, not sharing is still widely supported through these structures. #ohedchat
  • jskyoaks Feb 21 @ 9:46 PM EST

    The best evaluation process Ive experienced is sitting down with a small group of students offering each other feedback. Teaching them to have constructive conversations is a valuable tool. The class becomes collaborative #ohedchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS Feb 21 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A5 - While observations alone can be useful, I’ve found that through observing others and being observed that post lesson reflection is usually greater for growth than looking at a box with checks or even some sentences. We learn when we listen and discuss. #ohedchat
