Remediation

I took many notes from Sandra Malahy. First off: "support and help all your teachers before it gets to the remediation process." As instructional leader, I will make time to get into the classrooms whether it be a walkthrough or informal classroom visit to help build the trust and relationships needed to help teachers improve in their instruction. The message kept coming up over and over again- "build relationships... be highly visible... develop trust for those professional conversations." Document, Document, and Document. The remediation plan has to follow the time lines we learned about in EDL 538. It was interesting to hear about the up-coming changes in the evaluation and how performance will be a part of the process. I'm getting ready to do my evaluations for the internship and have been looking through the Danielson book on teacher evaluations. I was glad to hear the message from Ms. Malahy that also hold true: make all decisions on what is best for all students.
