Threading the Evaluation Needle: The Documentation of Teacher Unprofessional Conduct
Autor Todd A. DeMitchell, Mark A. Paigeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2019
Effective supervision and evaluation requires that the school leader possess the knowledge of effective instruction, exhibit skills in documentation of professional conduct, and embrace a professional approach with the will to place and keep students at the center of school policy and practice decisions. Supervising and evaluating teachers is a difficult, but essential work. Research shows that time and expertise are necessary to effectively supervise and to build a case for adverse employment decisions, when necessary.
Threading the Evaluation Needle: The Documentation of Teacher Unprofessional Conduct addresses the legal and professional knowledge that structures discipline and dismissal in the public schools. The authors, based on their educational, legal, and research experience, provide templates for various types of documentation necessary to effectively build a case for discipline. This book seeks to give principals the tools and knowledge to institute in good faith a fair and accurate documentation system.

Recenzii
This book would make an excellent gift for an aspiring superintendent or someone who has landed in her or his first superintendency. "Threading the Evaluation Needle" emphasizes the principle that supervision of school staff requires the school leader to prioritize instructional supervision while ensuring accountability processes used by the school leader are led with integrity.
DeMitchell and Paige have clearly and concisely captured the school administrators' obstacles to authentic educator accountability and more importantly offer practical solutions to the daunting evaluation process. As a veteran high school principal, the supporting case law, the Ten Commandments and tool-box documents provide valuable, ready to implement strategies for my own practice. The substantial attention to the effective evaluation of the mediocre teacher and the induced exit strategy are welcome and necessary contributions to educator evaluation literature.
Threading the Evaluation Needle should be required reading for any educational leadership and licensure program. The authors are credible practitioners informing practice with significant field experience from both the legal and administrative realms. Naming the principal as the legal leader of the school is a crucial element to the climate of courage that the authors weave into the fabric of how evaluation is embedded into the values and norms of our schools.
Tenants of this book serve as an earnest reminder of the ethical responsibility, we as school leaders bear, to nurture our relationships with the educators with whom we supervise and evaluate. We must enter into our dialogues with both kindness and diligence, seeking to understand the ways in which we can provide clear and explicit feedback with our main intention being helping to hone and improve their craft for the betterment of students.
DeMitchell and Paige send a clear message to all school leaders that it is imperative we be fair and ethical in how we provide feedback to educators and that these processes not be leveraged for the sole purpose of termination. The Tool Box and cases provided offer model products and guidance for school leaders helping them refine practices to include ongoing and effective documentation of concerns and/or praise through the evaluation process.
A most noteworthy message, embedded throughout, is the fact that the expectations school leaders establish though the evaluation process sets the standard for how the school community may interpret that leader's level of integrity, as well as establish the overall tone of the school culture.
A great reminder, for new and seasoned leaders alike, that the evaluation process is about two parties willingness to enter into a relationship, grounded in mutual respect, where they feel safe, and perhaps a bit vulnerable, to discuss what's working and what isn't and how to close that gap for the betterment of students.
