How is this observable: Post-conference : How did you adjust the lesson according to your most recent data? What data did you use when developing the lesson? https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345071606 2019-03-26 01:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345071606 Feedback https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345072182 Feedback aligned with Teaching and Learning Handbook or Observation Form]]> 2019-03-26 01:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345072182 Make feedback more Rational - Change feedback to a Specific focus rather attempt to cover a big list https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345072187 Change the way feedback is negotiated with teacher by giving specific focus eg: 'One element we will be looking at today is Behavior management ' rather than try to cover all areas.  It needs to be relevant to the teacher and their need. Rational and 'doable'

Avoid preconceived rubric of what a good lesson looks like.  It needs to suit the need of that particular teacher in that context. No 'one size fits all' for PreN to Grade 12. We need to ensure that we are not locked into one way only of giving feedback.  It is to be a dynamic process that fits the subject area that is being observed.]]> 2019-03-26 02:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345073324 Be clear on the purpose of the observational feedback https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345073848 The purpose of the feedback is to improve student learning through improving our teaching practice. It needs to be a non judgmental , informing, supportive feeling of teacher growth, ongoing not one off. It is important that we keep telling stories about how observations help us grow as a school.]]> 2019-03-26 02:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345073848 Model clare_johnstone1 https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345074505 Let's Talk discussion linked to an annual Divisional goal that becomes the focus of walk throughs and department meetings,  to help teachers grow professionally. ]]> 2019-03-26 02:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345074505 Consider a focus on data collection in observations and, if applicable, collect both quantitative and qualitative objective data to feedback to teachers for their own reflection before the reflection meeting. christie_powell https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345074748 2019-03-26 02:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345074748 Connections/Links christie_powell https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345075201 Ensure the teacher goals are linked to division goals/department goals that are linked to overall strategic areas of focus for teaching and learning and are reflected in Let's Talk.]]> 2019-03-26 02:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christie_powell/rnxb7aaeko7d/wish/345075201
