When @JoeBiden says to educators- you now have one of your own in the White House - I’m stoked for educators everywhere! Our students, our children are winning!
Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90. He was the first actor to play James Bond on the big screen in Dr. No in 1962, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever followed.
I worry about the validity of formal evaluations right now. How can anyone accurately assess teachers w/ all the variables associated w/ learning that are beyond their control. The focus should be on what do you need & how can we support you during these unprecedented times.
Good leadership is good leadership, but every admin should have spent time in the classroom as a teacher. If they haven't, they should be required to teach a class as admin. You have to experience what teachers experience to fully serve & support them.
Please remember if you haven't been in the teacher's classroom or been diligent about checking in and checking on them f2f/remotely, don't let your first encounter be a formal evaluation. Make the connections before the corrections.
