(Unit 6) Topic 6: A Director's Guide to Evaluations

1 Clock Hour of Early Childhood Education

Moving Forward

​Topic 6 Page 8

The post evaluation meeting is also a prime time for supporting teachers. When you discuss what the observation was like and share some information you should also be finding out what you can do to support your staff.​  

​Be aware that not all teachers will come right out and tell you exactly how you can support them so it will be necessary to read between the lines at times. ​   

Other teachers will probably tell you too much but realize that they are not intentionally being difficult. They truly want to do better but may be under a huge amount of stress. Overall, consider what it is like to be in their shoes and let that guide your meeting.   

Support Suggestions: 

Resources
Resources are a huge source of low-pressure support for teachers. A book, an article, or a conversation with a veteran teacher can be just enough to spark an idea that solves a problem. ​  

​​Training
The early child care field is always evolving and often that means there are some gaps in training and information that teachers may have. Encourage teachers to get the training that they would benefit from most.  

​​Share in the Responsibility 
Teachers may not perform as well as possible due to things outside of their control. Help them overcome their obstacles and admit when center policies may be creating them.  

Time
Time is easily the commodity that is most lacking for teachers. Support them with time management habits or more preparation time.
