Division of labor

When we divided up the evaluation of teachers, I decided to give 20 teachers to each AP and take 40 on my own. My reasoning was that I didn’t want the evaluation process to compromise the safety and security of the building. My 40 teachers are grouped in the math, social studies, fine arts and world language departments. One of the problems with this process is that I now never end up in any other department since I am focused on completing my observations in the departments for which I am responsible. So while I’m having some nice conversations with the teachers I’m evaluating I’m not really talking to the other 70 teachers in the building about what I am observing in the classroom. To be fair, it’s not a fair assumption to say I’d have been having those conversations with all of those teachers before this system but there is a disconnect with those departments that I’m not evaluating.
