Educators in their first and second years of teaching full-time (BT 1s and BT 2s) will receive at least two visits from a Beginning Educator Support Team (BEST) staff member. BT 3s may also receive a classroom visit if our team's schedules allow. These visits may be unannounced, or you may learn of your scheduled visit in advance; school administrators determine whether to share this information with their BTs.
These classroom visits allow our team to see a snapshot (20-25 minutes) of your instruction and classroom management. We use our team's Beginning Educator Walkthrough template in KickUp to provide applicable feedback. These classroom visits are informal and are not part of the formal evaluation process.
If you have any questions or concerns about classroom visits, please reach out to your BEST point of contact.
