What should you talk about? STUDENT GROWTH GOALS: – How are students meeting or showing progress toward growth goal and proficiency targets? – What patterns do you see in special populations of students? – How do the activities, materials, and resources in the student growth plan align to the needs of the students now that you have the new data? – What support do you need?

What should you talk about? OBSERVATIONS & POST-OBSERVATION CONFERENCES – How do you think you have shown improvement? – What areas do you still need to grow? – What professional practices and decisions in your work have had the most influence on your ability to support your students to achieve growth?

What should you talk about? Identify supports needed and next steps (Domains 1-4) What are our (teacher & principal) next steps? What supports does the teacher need?
