@k8roulette2 Go easy on yourself. Take slow deep breaths when you can. There is no doubt these are very tough times for teachers. Sometimes crying at work is the best you can do.
I often refer back to the Model for Great Teaching evidence review & share it with schools I work with. There is a lot of great advice, content & v helpful when when reflecting on teaching & learning in the classroom.

Teachers don't need my once-a-year, hour long observations.
What they need is support:
• Affirming what they are doing well.
• Noticing, naming promising practices.
• Communicating useful feedback.
• Celebrating their innovative efforts.

If you're doing observations just because it is a required aspect of the evaluation, you have already lost the game. Transformative principals are more focused. #how2be#principals
@jethrojones Make frequent, short (5-7 minutes), informal observations; focus your attention on the students’ experience; and always follow up with feedback/questions that will start and sustain learning-focused conversations with your teachers. #CultureEd

Keep your “Happy New Year.” 🤣 After the past two years…I’m not claiming anything about 2022. At. All. I just need it to come in quietly, sit down, and not break anything. It’s not anyone’s year. It’s just 365 days, and we’re gonna do them together. 😉😏
