  • For Teachers on Summative Reviews: The time frame for the review is approximately 45 mins to 1 hour. Administrators will review the observation in your classroom. Be prepared to provide evidences of how you use data to plan instruction, how rigor is involved in the lesson observed, how we are growing 21st century learners. Have your lesson plans ready to be reviewed. Parent contact logs and lists are valuable sources of evidence. We will discuss how you reflect on your practice. This is a learning process for all of us. These are a few items that we have found that are helpful in the conversation. We will post more as the year progresses.
