A Week of Observations
Colasacco, Jenne
Educational Leadership, v68 n4 p59-62 Dec 2010-Jan 2011
Even the most effective teachers have room to grow, but it's not always easy for principals to give adequate guidance through short observations. High school principal Jenne Colasacco decided to bring more depth to her observations by observing each of her teachers during one class for an entire week. The new observation structure, which included conferences at the beginning, middle, and end of the week, enabled Colasacco to give feedback and then see how teachers implemented her suggestions. Teachers appreciated the more comprehensive feedback. This article addresses teacher evaluations and observation.
