To support teachers in our evaluation system we are using the resources provided by Edhub in our monthly professional development days.Registering for the Edhub resources was fairly simple. The Edhub administrator provided tokens that were redeemed when the account was created.
Once the account was created, resources for two of the four indicators our district uses for evaluation were curated: student/teacher relationships and critical thinking. Teachers volunteered to lead professional development sessions on the indicators, and a schedule was created that allowed teachers to choose, elective style, which indicator they most wanted to explore.
For our district this approach increases flexibility for teachers: they are provided a time and place to develop skills of their choosing. Clarity is also increased: administrators and teachers together can learn what research says regarding appropriate student/teacher relationships and critical thinking.
There is great value in educators gathering together to affirm:
-relationships are healthy and secure when structures and limits are in place
-creative, collaborative work on open ended assignments ensures that critical thinking is taking place
EdHub's research based presentations on a range of performance indicators are great resources for clear, yet flexible, professional development.
