The visitation model has three key components for teacher evaluation: the pre-visitation conference, the visitation event, and the post-visitation conference. The pre-conference involves the teacher and administrator identifying areas of focus for classroom observation. During the visitation event, the administrator collects data on classroom instruction and management. In the post-conference, the teacher and administrator discuss the lesson and the administrator's findings to support the teacher's professional growth and reflection.

3. OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome:
The FCPS system will develop a common
understanding regarding the Framework for Teaching
Rubric and the Teacher Evaluation System.
Objective
Participants will explore the three components of the
visitation model in order to gain an in-depth
understanding of each component, it’s purpose, and
it’s value.

Not a “Gotcha!”
It’s all about GROWTH!

5. THE PRE-VISITATION CONFERENCE
As you watch the video, record key components that
create a meaningful collaborative pre-conference.
Example:
 The principal and teacher identify data collection focus
areas.


Discuss with your table group what you saw and the
benefits of a pre-visitation conference.

6. THE VISITATION EVENT
Discuss at your table group:
From what you just observed, what would you expect to
happen during the visitation event?

11. REFLECTION:
How is each component of the teacher visitation
model (the pre-visitation conference, the visitation
event, the post-visitation conference) an integral part
of a teacher’s growth.
