ABSTRACT
Principals develop practices to track the observation efforts of the administrative team
A resounding finding in the literature of the accountability movement is that teacher quality improves student learning. If this premise is true, then the assessment of teaching in classrooms needs to become the first step toward improving instruction and assisting teachers to examine their practices. Assisting teachers begins at the place where instruction occurs-in the classroom. Principals and other school leaders are urged to remember that, like students, teachers need opportunities to grow, develop, and learn.
