If we are honest\, evaluation has drifted in a lot of schools. It gets completed. It gets filed. It satisfi es the requirement. But too often\, it does not fundamentally sharpen inst ruction. This Administrator Academy is built around a simple premise: if w e are going to spend this much time evaluating teachers\, it should meanin gfully improve practice. We will take a serious look at the instructional practices that matter most in special education classrooms and align them thoughtfully to the Danielson Framework. Not to add complexity. Not to cre ate another initiative. But to make sure what we are observing\, scripting \, and discussing is actually connected to student growth. When there is t ight alignment between expectations\, observation\, and feedback\, evaluat ion becomes a leadership tool. When there isn't\, it becomes an annual exe rcise.
Learning Outcomes:
Assess the current culture of obse rvation and evaluation in their building and determine whether it is drivi ng instructional growth or reinforcing compliance habits.
Strengthe n the connection between the instructional practices they expect to see an d the framework they use to evaluate them.
Examine their current ev aluation process and identify where time is being invested well-and where it is not producing a meaningful return.
Develop an observation app roach that supports continued teacher growth while respecting the real tim e constraints administrators face.
Guide teachers in building focus ed professional growth plans rooted in clearly defined\, locally understoo d standards of proficient practice.
Lead staff conversations that b uild shared clarity around what strong special education instruction looks like in their context.
Use Al appropriately within the evaluation process to help organize evidence\, surface patterns\, and strengthen feed back\, while keeping professional judgment and final decisions firmly in t he hands of the evaluator.
