![]() ![]() ![]() Learning stories are great ways to document what a teacher is doing in the classroom and allows the teacher a chance to respond to what you see through an observer's eyes. Once the document is complete with all three parts-the running record of the observation, the questions asked to understand the why of what happened, and the feedback from the teacher upon receiving this learning story-I sit down with the teacher to have a discussion about their evaluation and to clarify anything that may seem out of context or character. The third part is sending the documentation to the teacher for her feedback-adding her background and answering the questions posed. After the observation, I review what was observed then ask the teacher questions about what I saw and how they would explain their actions. First, I observe a teacher in a classroom for 20 minutes using a running record and taking pictures to demonstrate what is happening in class. Evaluations are a means to understand what and why you are doing in the classroom and how to look at it through an observer's eyes. Instead, it's a learning story about the teacher. It isn't a checkbox system and won't give you list of skills a particular teacher can successfully use in the classroom. I like to use a running record/anecdotal format for teacher evaluations. What do all of you use? Do you have your teachers/staff do a self-assessment as well? I am looking for teacher/staff evaluation forms. ![]() We also have a separate evaluation of how they are as a general employee (not related to their position). We have teachers self-assess using the one we developed for ourselves prior to giving appraisals. Also attached is a teacher assessment we developed for ourselves for formal evaluations. Attached is a self-evaluation developed by Exchange Press (a great resource!) that we liked for quick usage. I always like doing self-evaluations as they can be a valuable tool to understand ourselves and the expectations of us. ![]()
