Examples
Think of these steps as a conversation with yourself. Notice in the following examples how the educator observes, reasons, and decides on an action:
As a school psychologist: “These are my assessments by month across the whole year. Notice the increase in referrals near the end of each quarter. Maybe there are a lot of concerns right before grading? I'll ask around and see what I find.”
As a teacher: “These are the quiz score after I taught the unit on Mayan civilizations. The average is lower than recent scores. I noticed a lot of hesitation during our conversations. Maybe they need more support comprehending the text? I'll come up with ideas to reteach.”
As a principal: These are the parent survey results from the last principal coffee talk. I noticed higher satisfaction scores on the communication section. Maybe this has to do with the our parent email newsletter? I'll contact some parents to see if I can learn more.
