These are tips to make you more effective at delivering reviews to our team. Add your personality to it. Customize it for the recipient’s personality too.

Creating conversation is an important part of this process.

Respect the Evaluation Process 

Every teacher should find value in the evaluation process. Whether rookie or veteran, the review is still important!

Prepare for the meeting

• Review all paperwork ahead of time.
• Discuss with evaluator(s) as needed - ex. If they received anything below a 7, be prepared to provide some details either from comments or asking the evaluator.
• Look for inconsistencies such DS #1 gave a 10 and DS #2 gave a 6.

Goals of the Meeting:

• To slow down and present feedback through conversation since feedback is typically on-the-go during a shift.
• To provide helpful feedback that the teacher can apply.
• To review and explain the teaching standards at HFSS. Discuss how they are or are not following those standards. 
• To listen to the teacher’s reflection and help them set a focus on what to improve.

Catch them doing it right!

What do they bring to the team? How can you thank them for adding to HFSS culture? How can you emphasize the importance of that talent/characteristic in the big picture? 

Other Talking Points

These are ideas to get started and keep it flowing.

• Self-evaluation

    • “We scored you a little lower because ______.” 
    • “We think you are better at ______ than you think you are☺.”
