Teachers are often very comfortable with giving specific and measurable feedback to their students. However, when the audience shifts to adults, some new school leaders are often nervous about providing specific and measurable feedback.
Read the “Developing Professional Capacity” case study to inform the assignment.
Developing professional capacity is a complex process. It requires data collection and analysis, while keeping in mind student achievement as the desired end result. Using your classroom teacher perspective and knowledge of administration leadership, consider the conversations you will have through the evaluation cycle.
Part 1: Case Analysis
In 250-500 words, respond to the case study by addressing the following:
- Brief summary of the case
- Issues to be resolved
- Stakeholders involved in the issues
- One or two existing laws or court rulings that relate to the issues
- District policies that relate to the issues
- Possible solutions to the issues
- Solutions chosen to resolve the issues
- Action steps (2-5) for implementing each solution, including a timeline for each step
- Potential moral and legal consequences of each solution
Part 2: Rationale
Support the case analysis with a 250-500 word rationale explaining the solutions you chose and how each solution:
- Uses data to design plans for developing the instructional capacity of faculty.
- Makes decisions that promote a culture of collaboration, trust, learning, and high expectations.
- Evaluates potential moral and legal consequences to make difficult decisions with integrity and fairness.
- Strives to build and sustain positive relationships between school representatives, students, families, and community partners, when their needs conflict.
Cite the case as well as 2-3 scholarly resources.
If possible, share your case analysis with your principal mentor and make revisions based on his or her feedback before submitting with Part 1.
