How much time did you spend in September with your FOCUS teachers?
It is the last day of September. Your TimeTrack shows you are spending a lot of time working with teachers to improve their practice…far more than the national average for school leaders. Congratulations.
You selected “Focus” teachers when you started this year. Now is a great time to stop and take a look.
You’ll see a quick link to information about the time you’ve spent with Focus teachers on the bottom left of your TimeTrack. Look at the word MORE circled in RED, below. If you click it, you get the choice of opening Events to Review, Admin Actions and Focus Individuals. Clicking Focus shows the third view, links to the data for each focus teacher.
Clicking any name gives you a wealth of data showing instructional time spent with the focus teacher, interactions and frequency.
Using this information to determine your next steps is what the SAM process is all about.
So, what do you think? Do you see a connection with the time you’ve spent with each of your Focus teachers and an improvement in their practice? If so, great. It might be time to schedule a celebratory feedback session. It might be time to select a new Focus teacher. If not, what are you going to try next?
