What if observation wasn’t about complianceβ€”but about cultivating greatness? Too often, our systems push teachers into survival mode. But greatness can’t be forcedβ€”it grows in cultures rooted in trust. That’s the heart of Trust-Based Observations.

If Hattie’s highest effect size is collective teacher efficacy, but our eval systems lower self-efficacy How will we ever get there? Observations must build trustβ€”not anxiety. πŸŽ™ w/ [@DarrinMPeppard] on Lean Into Leadership #TBO #TeacherSupport #EdLeadership #CollectiveEfficacy

Thanks! I left the SAM conference inspired and rejuvenated, especially with ideas from your keynote about trust-based observations!
Heard @allisonshapira impress the heck out of me with her keynote presentation at the SAM conference yesterday and digging into her book right now on my way home.

@WillowTop20 @TrustbasedCraig @allisonshapira Thank you all for your presentations at the SAMs Conference! I returned back to work today and shared a lot of ideas that I learned from all of you this past weekend. I don’t think I will view tornadoes, the tango the same way 😁

I read this today and immediately thought of you @TrustbasedCraig !!!
Over a decade of evaluation reform and no improvements to teaching and learning. Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. LET'S DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT: TRUST-BASED OBSERVATIONS. It changes results. trustbased.com
