Fundamental Differences
04/19/23 4
• PURPOSE• RATIONALE• SCOPE• RELATIONSHIP• DATA FOCUS• EXPERTISE• TEACHER PERSPECTIVE
Purpose
04/19/23 5
• Supervision• An organizational
function concerned with promoting teacher growth, whatever that current level is, and, as a consequence, improving student learning.
• Evaluation• An organizational
function designed to make comprehensive judgments about performance/minimal competence for personnel decisions such as tenure or continuing employment.
Rationale
04/19/23 6
• SUPERVISION• Teaching is a complex,
multi-faceted activity that can be better understood by two professionals collaborating to solve problems.
• EVALUATION• The state has an
obligation/mandate to protect children/adolescents from being harmed.
Scope
04/19/23 7
• Supervision• The scope of
supervision can and should be narrow and focused on one teaching standard salient to student learning & teacher interest/ownership.
• Evaluation• Global and
comprehensive, looking at both instructional and non-instructional duties, e.g., Danielson’s 4 domains.
Relationship
04/19/23 8
• Supervision• Collegial and trusting,
with both partners working together to do what is best for kids.
• Evaluation• Hierarchical because
the evaluator must be able to make objective and often difficult judgments about a teacher’s performance.
Data Focus
04/19/23 9
• Supervision• Should be
individualized and and differentiated to meet the needs of the teacher, e.g., selective verbatim of discipline statements or questioning techniques.
• Evaluation• Must be uniform,
standardized and due process- oriented. Everyone in the same job category must be evaluated by the same criteria.
Expertise
04/19/23 10
Supervision• Expertise is shared. Both
partners bring different knowledge and skills to the process. No one knows the curriculum and the individual students more so than the teacher.
Evaluation•The evaluator has more expertise. By law, only certificated personnel can perform evaluations. This implies special training.
Perspective
04/19/23 11
Supervision•Teachers are free to take risks, to experiment, and to try out new strategies and techniques with support from the supervisor. Again, the trust factor is paramount.
Evaluation•Teachers see the evaluator as a drama critic. They need to put their best foot forward and “wow” the audience!

• Create a specific example of your assigned component: Ms. T says to Joey, “You dummy!”
• Do not restate the rubric: Ms. T is rude to a student.
• Share with the person next to you.
