Judie Strawbridge worked for Prince George’s County Public Schools for 28 years, serving the school community as an educator, a servant leader, a mentor, and a coach. In her years as an educator and leader, she had the good fortune to have the opportunity to help build the capacity of teachers and leaders through coaching and mentoring, during her 9 years as Principal of Francis Scott Key Elementary School. She interacted with principals and educators at all levels to support them as they developed school culture and relationships. Ms. Strawbridge worked with the Office of Learning and Leadership and the G3 Teacher and School Leader Grant Initiative (G3 TSL) as a G3 Calibration Instructional Specialist. In this position, Ms. Strawbridge supported the teachers and administrators of 40 high need schools to ensure the staff and leaders had an understanding of Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching, its elements, components, and attributes. Ms. Strawbridge’s goal was to shift the mindset of all the participants from compliance to performance. In collaboration with another colleague, she developed a cycle of learning that included administrators and teachers in a professional development and standard calibration process that addressed the unique needs of each of the 40 schools. In that process, a very important component was the ability to coach the administrator in how to coach the teacher that was observed based on evidence that was collected during the calibration process. The intended outcome was to improve the practice of the administrator in having learning-focused conversations and the teachers’ abilities to view the observation process as means to improve their practice and establish a schoolwide improvement focus based on very specific data.
