Artifact 1: Below is an example when I observed/evaluated a teacher at Grundy Center High School. In this evaluation, I held both a pre and post observation with the teacher. I provided specific feedback and data for the teacher to observe. The teacher asked me to observe the amount of questions asked by themselves and students. Upon our post observation, the teacher explained their experiences by detailing thought processes while I asked essential questions to encourage more self reflection. Note that names have been changed to allow for personal curtsy.

Artifact 2: Below is a rubric that was created for hiring new staff. The idea is that you are a building principal and are using this rubric to help guide your decision making when it comes to certain criteria of hiring someone in a teacher/coach/building worker position. It begins with basics of communication, and then it goes deeper by diving into other important skills. This rubric was used and held during mock interviews alongside of actually interviews to help administrators get a clear understanding of a positive hiring process.
