Description“Who Are You Who Are So Wise in the Science of Teaching?”
Rex R. Schultze, JD

Description:
“Who are you who are so wise in the science of teaching?” is a book written by Rex Schultze, J.D. to help school principals provide meaningful teacher evaluations and assistance to improve instruction and thereby student learning.  Rex has agreed to teach a course based on the book in the spring of 2022.  Rex is a former teacher, and for 40 years as a lawyer has represented schools across Nebraska in personnel matters involving teacher evaluation.

The course will be presented in one on-line session and a two day in person session at ESU #13 facilities on June 1st and 2nd, 2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  The sessions will follow the parts of the book as follows:
April 26, 2022, 9-11:30 am via Zoom – Part 1 - The Preparation/Foundation/Teaching: The necessary “preparation” of you, the principal, to be effective at guiding and coaching their staff.  The laying of the “foundation” for your teachers to know the standard of performance expected by the school district as whole, and the specific building where they serve, guide and teach their students. The “teaching” of your instructional staff what constitutes good lesson planning and instruction as defined by the educational model adopted by the school and “art” of teaching under that model.
June 1-2, 2022, 9 am to 3 pm @ ESU 13 – Part 2-3 - The Skills, Work and the End Game:  The “skills” for the writing of effective teacher formative and summative evaluations to assist in the improvement of instruction.  A workshop to apply your writing “skills” through the use of analysis, synthesis and evaluation of a selected teacher’s performance, followed by the process of qualifying you, the principal, as an “expert witness” under the Nebraska Rules of Evidence if you are called upon to participate in “the end game” of moving an underperforming teacher along.

The cost of the entire seminar will be $ 100, which will includes lunch on both days along with Rex’s book, and copies of two supplemental books, “Teach Like a Pirate” by Dave Burgess, and “I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had”, by Tony Danza.  These materials will be delivered within seven (7) day of registration so you can “read-up” in advance!  JJJ

Rex “promises” to make the seminar sessions interesting, collaborative and fun!  He has lots of “WAR STORIES”!?!  We hope you will join us.
