Episode #5: Don't Forget to Document

Effective and professional teachers document early and often.  They document the good and the bad.  They document how effective lessons are in meeting their goals.  They document patterns in student performance and behavior.  They then use this data to improve student outcomes.  It's not about paranoia or simply documenting for the major disruptions/issues in class (though that's important too).  It's about effectively meeting the needs of those we serve.
