Self-Evaluation Need Help?

Every year you have to fill out that form telling about your professional growth, but sometimes those classes and seminars just plain cost too much. Your self-eval is lacking. Find out who the master teachers are at your school - in all subject areas/grades. Ask them if you can visit their classrooms once a week during your planning period. Observe and learn. After several observations of each, write a short report of what you saw, liked, disliked, learned and can use in your own classroom. After you implement some of these changes, ask those master teachers to observe you and tell you how you´re doing. They may learn something, too!
