 Leveraging the Teacher-Evaluation Process for Transformative Growth with Pete Hall

Professional Learning Webinars

We want our schools to grow and improve, and we know the #1 factor is high-quality first instruction. We also work in a system with a teacher-evaluation process. So why not couple those two facets of instructional leadership with greater intentionality? Why not use the teacher-evaluation process to grow teachers, to improve schools, and to enhance student-learning outcomes? In this earth-shaking (it really oughtn’t be) session, join former award-winning principal Pete Hall in challenging the status quo of teacher evaluations. Embrace a merging of mindsets: “perpetual evaluation” and “coaching first” can coexist! Explore a handful of structures and approaches that lend themselves to building a trusting, challenging, nurturing, and growth-oriented culture…with the teacher-evaluation process smack-dab in the middle of it. We can do better than the monotonous annual blah, and the time is now to put a deliberate plan into place!
