CUSD InDUCtIon newSletter Fall 2023

Founded to assist Teacher Induction Program leadership with their data collection, analysis, and accreditation efforts, SRG has become one of the most well-respected educational program evaluation sources in California. They are well known for high-quality support, organized delivery, clear reporting, and helping clients improve their program performance and achieve success in accreditation.

The focus is on creating program evaluation systems that help partners improve their programs through simple yet profound measures that do not overwhelm yet point the way toward increased effectiveness.

Impact Coaching Idea:

Guiding questions improve teaching through preparation. Preparation reaps significant benefits. When teachers think through what will be learned and how learning will happen, their lessons are more focused, efficient, and accessible to all learners. When I interview teachers about the value of content planning, their first response is usually, "I know these are supposed to help students be organized, but what they really do is help me be organized." When teachers are clear on their plans, everyone benefits.

Focus: Effective Feedback

To have a successful grading system, teachers must understand these four criteria that are necessary for effective feedback. – Douglass Reeves
