During our school’s Summer Academy, I was able to use an observation template to observe and evaluate several teachers. Prior to my observation, I sat down with the teachers for a preconference to identify what I was going to be looking for and what is expected. During the observation, I used the Prince William County’s observation template to identify areas of strength and weakness. After the observation, I conducted a post conference where I reviewed my observations with the teachers and gave them several areas of improvement.
I believe this experience was one of the most rewarding experiences due to accountability I was given by our Summer School principal. In my position as administrative intern, I felt I was able to learn from my own experiences rather than an administrator describing the experience. Also, I noticed a significant difference in my delivery from my first post conference to the last.
From completing several observations and conferences, I learned how to give constructive criticism that is enlightening and motivating. This activity made me realize why I want to become an administrator. I thoroughly enjoyed observing other teachers and working with them to provide effective instruction.
