should be communicated. This may be accomplishedthrough a variety of means:Job descriptionsEvaluation criteria (distributed or posted as forms)ContractsProfessional development (Orientation, ongoing)Mentoring and Role ModelsTeacher preparation

Setting Expectations

Has changed through the yearsInitially, primarily to superviseNow, more to enhance performanceEmphasis on growth and improvement

Maximizing effectiveness by coaching, mentoring andgrowth of teachers knowledge and deployment ofskills

Philosophy of Teacher Supervision

To meaningfully evaluate teacher performance,

administrators use various measures, including:Planning and organization: quality of lesson plans goals andobjectives, teaching strategies, assessment of learningInstructional delivery (pedagogy, strategies, techniques,approaches to learning)Effectiveness -- student achievement, ability to teach all

childrenClassroom managementProfessionalism (timeliness, formal complaints or thanks)Participation in school culture (mentoring, collaborative worksuch as service on committees, events)

Frequent feedback is critical to improving performance:

Walkthroughs (sometimes aligned with specific objectives . E.g.greeting students at the door, using Venn diagrams, etc)Peer Review (teachers observing other teachers, perhaps forspecific, shared objectives)During mentoring process

Mentors are assigned:At beginning of careerWhile implementing a new technique, process or strategyAs a result of an individual development plan when deficiencies areformally noted (process of improvement)

Opportunities for Feedback(informal)

Clinical Supervision and Evaluation is the process bywhich administrators typically:

pre conferenceobservationdata sharing/post conference

set goals and expectations for furthergrowth/improvement

Feedback (Formal)


11/17

How can a system that has discrete data collection points

be organized and normalized?The use of technology can help to:

Systematize supervision and evaluation so that allparticipants are evaluated on the same criteriaCollecting dataAnalyze resultsPublishing/sharing analyses (web site, sharing documents)Professional development (mentoring, workshops)

Technology Assists


12/17

Animations or video to share performanceexpectations with teachers (especially new, orchanging positions) as trainingStandardized testing (measure achievement againstestablished standards)

Student data systems (collect data for further analysis-- aggregate and disaggregate data)Create podcasts for professional development
