How is a Pathwise or Minneapolis Standards of Effective Instruction observation different from a formal observation?
A Pathwise or Minneapolis Standards of Effective Instruction observation is done to assess the performance of first year teachers in MPS. They are similar to a formal observation, yet involve more reflection and forethought than the formal observation. They are used by mentors who have been trained in how to observe for evidence of the essential practices that make effective teachers. These assessment tools also include scoring rubrics of essential teaching criteria. Both the Pathwise and Minneapolis Standards of Effective Instruction observations and assessment results are used to guide teachers in their professional growth decisions.
