The reflection conversation plays an important role in the observation/teaching/professional learning process. In this reflection conversation, we will see Kelly Crenshaw, the teacher, and Michelle Pogliano, the Director of Early Childhood Programs/Principal, immersed in an opportunity to BOTH learn and grow through CELEBRATIONS/ CONCENTRATIONS of teaching and student learning. The teacher and principal first brainstorm on sticky notes “noticings” from the lesson and then collaboratively share/link what they both saw/heard. These “noticings” than provide linkages and future discussion for Kelly to determine specific CONCENTRATIONS with aligned NEXT STEPS and RESOURCES of SUPPORT. Feedback is aligned to The Framework for Teaching Clusters and The Framework for Teaching Components and the teacher’s specific areas of interest. (Cluster 5-Successful Learning For All; In reflecting on the lesson, the teacher has specific ideas about how the lesson could be improved. The teacher cites student assessment data take will be taken into account in future planning; Distinguished)
