“Educators across the world are saying this is the best training they’ve ever had.” After not being observed for two straight years, Craig realized early in his career the teacher evaluation system was broken. He was right - recent research, including from the Gates Foundation, shows “no sustained improvement” with typical teacher evaluation processes. In this episode, we speak with Craig Randall, former counselor, administrator, college basketball coach, and author of the book Trust-Based Observations. Today, Craig shares his transformational approach to teacher observations that actually builds trust and risk-taking. He also shares: The 9 elements of instruction he looks for when completing observations The unique process behind Trust-Based Observations And why administrators across the world are calling Trust-Based Observations the best training they’ve ever had Craig Randall is the author of the book Trust-Based Observations. He worked as a school counselor, teacher, college basketball coach, assistant principal and principal and used these experiences to develop his transformative teacher observation model. He currently trains school leaders in Trust-Based Observations; the results are teachers embracing risk-taking and growth, which leads to improved teaching and learning, and the development of a school-wide culture of trust.
