    On today’s episode we discuss the importance of curriculum and grading when preparing students for the “real world”. He clarifies the difference between curriculum and resources, and explains why textbooks and companies should never be the curriculum for our students. Chad also describes the importance of starting with a common definition of grades, with his definition aligning tightly to what we expect students to know and be able to do in reference to specific standards.

    What If They Don't Want Feedback with Eric Makelky and Jethro Jones Transformative Principal 519 Feb 09, 2023
    Show notes

    Last time we talked about evaluation. What has changed?

    Put into practice - new frame of reference and mindset.

    Talking about blindspots that a teacher has is what makes the evaluation meeting meaningful. What are some things you want my perspective on in the classroom?

    In this episode we discuss: - How to help the evaluation process be successful. - What if they don’t want feedback? - Ask what they want to get out of the evaluation process. - What if they ask for just a pat on the back? - Self-evaluation - use that to look for blindspots

    How to Make Evaluations Worthwhile with Eric Makelky Transformative Principal 514 Jan 10, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, we are continuing our coaching conversations with Eric. Please check in our previous episodes 510, 506, and 501

    • trying to make it a focus to be aware of people
    • What’s on your mind? What’s the challenge you’re facing today.

    Today we focus on teacher evaluations.

    For New Teachers
    • 5 informal observations
    • 2 formal observations
    • 2 formal observation post-conferences
    • 2 summative conferences
    • start, mid, and end of year with goals
    • 14 touchpoints per teacher.
    For Experienced Teachers:
    • 3 informal
    • 1 formal
    • start, mid, and end of year with goals
    • 8 total touch points.

    Evaluation system is homemade. Current concerns: - Hard to make them meaningful - Less confident writing up evaluations because it’s my first year seeing everyone. - Feedback: is it accurate and in alignment with what is really happening? - What value does Eric see? - Good to give teachers feedback on a regular basis. - Good to give formal feedback - Post observation conferences are good to go over feedback. - From a teacher’s perspective - Some staff aren’t used to having observations and evaluations. - Picked one area on the rubric and only scored and gave feedback on that one thing. - Try chunking it, and then get some feedback.

    Suggestions for effective evaluations
    • Johari Window
    • The only feedback that matters is what people can’t see
    • Purpose is to make them meaningful - finding blind spots.
      1. Jump through the hoops.
      1. Is the vision for the school actually happening.
    • Self-evaluations at the beginning of the year.
