What's Included in the Growth Experience
Anchored in Instructional Ingenuity and the Nexus of Engagement, the Redmer Model supports both individual growth and system coherence through a thoughtfully designed set of tools and processes, including: 1️⃣ Comprehensive Self-Evaluation A structured self-reflection tool that helps educators assess their digital practice, identify strengths, and surface targeted areas for growth aligned to quality digital instruction. 2️⃣ Inquiry-to-Impact Goal Setting A guided goal-setting process that connects professional inquiry to instructional impact, ensuring growth goals are intentional, measurable, and relevant to digital and hybrid teaching. 3️⃣ Ongoing Professional Development Research-aligned professional learning experiences are delivered throughout the year and embedded into a school's professional development schedule - they're directly aligned to growth goals and the realities of digital instruction. 4️⃣ Digital & Hybrid Observation Form An observation tool intentionally designed for synchronous, asynchronous, and blended learning environments, capturing the instructional decisions and engagement strategies unique to digital teaching. 5️⃣ Evaluation Framework & Rubric A clear framework and customizable rubric that define high-quality digital instruction and guide educators toward higher levels of practice, while intentionally accounting for the instructional design, student connection, and professional decisions unique to digital instruction. 🔄 Together, these components create a unified growth cycle spanning one to three years - supporting educators in developing their craft and providing school leaders with a clear roadmap for coaching, feedback, and continuous improvement in digital and hybrid learning. |
