REMINDER: Shadowing presentations October 26.

Use the format from Transformative Professional Learning

#TODAY

Observations 3 and 4

Observation 3:
If you find it beneficial, you can resubmit your 2nd observation with revisions based on the feedback you received from your partner. I posted 2 exemplars for you to use as an example.

Otherwise, for observations 3 and 4:
Choose a new video, observe the lesson and  review the supporting materials. Write in narrative format:
1. What did you see?
2. What supervisory approach would you take with this teacher? Why?
3. What feedback would you give to the teacher?

Observation 2 Exemplars

The great news : There were a number of outstanding observations submitted. From those, I blindly selected 2 to post as exemplars. Look these over and see if they help you to frame your thinking in your observation narratives:

Reflective Prompt: Interpersonal Skills of Supervision (Johari Window)

Think of a current or former colleague or supervisor who has had or now has difficulty working with others or achieving professional goals because of a particular aspect of the colleague's blind self. How would you describe your colleague's "blind spot"? What are the negative effects of this? How can awareness of this inform your leadership practices?

Prep for Class 10/5

Nick O'Neill and I were able to test the videoconferencing system this morning and thanks to Nick's patience and perseverance, we were successful in connecting with Margery Ginsberg. Margery will be joining our class tomorrow-from Chicago.

Please think of any questions you may have from which you'd love to benefit from Margery's thinking. These could involve the ideas of intrinsic motivation, culturally responsive teaching, adult learning theory, the motivational framework, etc. I'm looking forward to a lively, fun, and engaging conversation (just ask Nick)!
