Question.5337 - M6: Veteran & Struggling Teacher Case Studies Assignment DescriptionIn this course, you are learning how to differentiate supervision according to a teacher’s needs. This assignment offers you an opportunity to practice supporting teachers with different levels of expertise and experience. (This assignment will also help you practice developing action plans for teachers, which is part of the clinical supervision project.) Last week you focused on the needs of a novice teacher, and this week you will examine the cases of experienced and struggling teachers.For each case study, you will write a memo to the teacher that addresses the following questions:What are the teacher's needs or areas for improvement? Where do they need more support? (approx. 1 paragraph)Explain to the teacher the consequences for them and for the school community if they do not grow in these areas. How will it impact them, their colleagues, families, and/or students and student learning? (approx. 1 paragraph)What is your responsibility to the teacher as their supervisor? (approx. 1 paragraph)What plan of action do you propose for this teacher? What are the next steps in the short and long terms? Describe what you (the supervisor) and the teacher should do. Consider both the general approach you will take (see Glickman) and the specific interventions you will use. Explain how you will follow-up to the steps taken. Make sure to explain your choices so that it is clear how they are differentiated for this teacher. (approx. 2-3 paragraphs)In each memo, make at least two relevant references to the assigned readings from this week. (2 references per memo = 4 references total)You can find the veteran and struggling teacher cases here:Veteran Teacher CaseStruggling Teacher Case
