Communication is Key!
2. Communicate admin responsibility to see the standard.
3. Walkthroughs are more or as important as the formal evaluation.
4. Stick to descriptive language as opposed to evaluative language.
5. Use reflective questions.
6. Transparency is important.
7. It's okay to redo an evaluation if the teacher didn't feel it went well.
8. Provide feedback after a walkthrough.
9. It's okay to take a risk.
10. Reflect on artifacts - artifacts may cover multiple standards.]]> 2021-10-13 15:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_estep/kowb5tyq9uj01cs4/wish/1814290995 jill_white7 https://padlet.com/tara_estep/kowb5tyq9uj01cs4/wish/1814291236 keep observation notes fact based - focus on nouns and verbs]]> 2021-10-13 15:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_estep/kowb5tyq9uj01cs4/wish/1814291236
