Topic | School Improvement |
Content | Use Oklahoma’s best teachers, National Board Certified, and send them to lowest performing schools to focus on classroom learning improvement. Identify one school to send a NBC teacher to each classroom. Their tasks would be to observe, evaluate, mentor and make recommendations for improvement for teachers within the school. Their task need only last 1-2 weeks allowing them to identify areas for improvement, possible solutions, and modeling/mentoring teachers in their classroom environment. A short follow-up observation would insure implementation of recommendations and evaluate classroom learning environment for change. We would be able to leverage the best practices of the best teachers and the classrooms where it is needed the most. A small school could be used as a feasibility study with team to develop formal guidelines. |
