Listen to Kelly Armitage answer the question “Why should you take this course?”

The research is clear.  The most influential factor on learning in the classroom is the quality of instruction. What is the role of the principal in ensuring that there is a quality teacher in every classroom, every day? This course addresses just that.  Participants will learn the skills related to the five facets of the supervision and evaluation of teaching and learning:  collecting evidence of effective teaching; interpreting the evidence; providing feedback; coaching based on reflection; evaluation/appraisal and accountability.
