Associate Principal
Interpretation:
As
evidenced in the evaluation written by my associate principal, I work to create
a learning community that encourages positive social interaction, active
engagement, and self-regulation for every student. Notes are made regarding my competency
skills in the area of establishing expectations and encouraging self-regulation
for the students. In addition, he commented on the way I reviewed past
concepts/incentives with the students and how I actively engaged the students
in the book I was reading through providing them the opportunity to practice
the new skill.
b.
Establishes, communicates, models and maintains standards of responsible
student behavior.

Interpretation:
This
choice card indicates how I have communicated and modeled responsible student
behavior for a particular 1st grade student. When this student chooses one of
his calm down choices in the classroom (versus getting aggressive or verbally
insulting his teacher/peers), he earns one of his reward choices.
c.
Develops and implements classroom procedures and routines that support high
expectations for learning.

Counselor
Interpretation:
When
I am teaching a guidance lesson, students are expected to abide by my guidance
expectations. These expectations are explained and taught at the beginning of the school year. My guidance expectations, as well as the behaviors outlined by our Clip It! behavior chart, are "tracked" during class on my Guidance Clip Chart and recorded each class session on the guidance clip chart behavior log. I carry the clip chart with me EVERY time I come to the classroom - a
routine/procedure I have done since the 1st day of school - and the behavior expectations are
reviewed often with every class.
d.
Uses instructional time effectively to maximize student achievement.

Interpretation: Several times in my evaluation,
my associate principal indicated how I manage instructional time effectively. I
moved students to the carpet quickly at the beginning of class and gave them
several opportunities to "see" themselves as the character in the
book. In addition, the rapport I have built with the students results in little
trouble with classroom management, which can hinder a teacher’s ability to use instructional
time effectively.
e.
Creates a safe and purposeful learning environment.

Interpretation: These photos of my office
show how I work to create a safe and purposeful learning environment. My office
is a colorful, non-threatening environment that encourages students to learn
and work hard when meeting with me.
