With a frightening teacher shortage looming, we need teachers to stay and we need to really improve teaching and learning we have to transform the way we observe and evaluate teachers. Trust-Based Observations provides that transformative change. You see, we understand that first and foremost we're in a people business. And as such, we have to create conditions most conducive to learning. We do that by using the observation process to: Build meaningful differentiated trusting relationships with each teacher; Develop safe spaces where empowered teachers embrace taking risks to grow practice because they know they're supported; Create schoolwide cultures of trust where, as Hattie describes Trust-Based Observations, "Demonstrating collective teacher efficacy in action" is the norm. The result: improved teaching and learning and workplaces where teachers want to stay! Head to www.trustbased.com eLearning Partners Need help starting your eLearning courses or training?

We’re not done growing and learning. When working with leaders see them for greater than they currently are is really important. The job does you, instead of you doing the job. The answer is already within the person I’m serving. There’s only the next version of yourself. The Chinese symbol for listen. The pressure is on all of us. The very first day I ever taught, and I had this moment of where I realized I was in charge of all of this. Insubordinate or incompetent. Ignorant or insubordinate. What got you here won’t get you there. Empathy, equity, adapt, develop, communicate, unfinished. Not a comprehensive, you must do all these things to be successful.

Why did you go into Education Diagnosed with cancer at 17. Teachers weren’t vital to me being successful until they were! Why (almost) everyone does teacher evaluation wrong and why it is one of the worst ROI processes in schools! I l love teacher evaluation when I am performing it. Resource intensive - seldom leads to Teachers growth and success wasn’t dependent on the evaluation process Second thing it does is sort teachers.
* Total waste of time because almost everyone is proficient. The process is too long to get rid of someone (Hire slow, fire fast is how the business world recommends. Education is hire fast (usually 1 interview) and fire slow. Evaluation process can take easily a full calendar year to fire someone).  Veteran Teachers are more often insubordinate than ineffective. unwilling to change at the macro, then we can do something to change at the micro If we are waiting holistically to have the conversation during the evaluation process, we’ve lost the opportunity. Evaluation audit and assessment. Suggestions for improvement are too often copy and pasted. That indicates a depth of knowledge on an evaluator’s part. Pre-conference is the most effective way to focus on growth. Pre-conference should be focused on the why questions. If we don’t get to the why level, then our feedback will never lead to growth. Ken Scott driver’s ed teacher What is the objective how will they show mastery why should they know it. It’s really hard to bring teachers to observe each other. Instructional coaching. Any feedback that is trusted and is about growth is more valuable than feedback that is about raking and sorting. If we don’t create How to be a transformative principal? Shawn Achor - moving the goalposts - what does success look like? Encourage teachers to give themselves grace. You’re playing a game that doesn’t end in 2021! 
* Since everyone is already proficient, we might as well let teachers make their own goals and be in charge of their evaluation (much like we want kids to be in charge of their learning). 
* Principals observing teachers is fine, but the emphasis should be on teachers observing each other. Knowledge of instruction gets much better when you can see what other teachers are doing.
