Leading Observation Debriefs

Effective classroom observations support teachers with improving their teaching practice and therefore lead to learner growth and development. An observation itself does not lead to changed behaviour, it is the conversation and practice to improve skills and behaviours that will lead the teacher to grow. This module supports instructional leaders to lead effective observation debriefs grounded in contextually relevant and practice-based approaches. Instructional leaders will use the see it, name it, do it approach to support the teacher with seeing their successes and areas of growth, naming or exploring ways to improve, and practice and plan how to implement action steps for improvement.
