Laser Conversations and the SR3: A Framework for Teacher Evaluation and Support 25:23

13 weeks ago25:23

25:23

Learn about about Laser Conversations and the SR3: A Framework for Teacher Evaluation and Support Laser Conversations are a tool for administrators to conduct informal, focused check-ins with staff throughout the day. These are brief but intentional conversations centered around a specific topic, strategy, or area of practice. The goal is to support teacher growth by providing timely feedback, asking reflective questions, and fostering professional dialogue. Unlike formal evaluations, Laser Conversations are designed to be low-stakes, high-impact interactions that encourage continuous improvement in teaching and learning. As the school year winds down and teacher evaluations wrap up, it's the perfect time to revisit the SR3 process—a structured approach for administrators to guide teachers toward sustained improvement. SR3 stands for: Step 1: Support Step 2: Repeat Step 3: Remediate Step 4: Remove The purpose of SR3 is to ensure that teachers are positively impacting student learning and to provide a clear, fair path toward improvement if concerns arise.
