Ask most teachers how their last evaluation felt, and you’ll probably hear some version of the same answer: graded, not supported. Observations come once or twice a year. Feedback lands without much context. The conversation ends right where growth should begin. When keeping the people you already have is one of the most urgent jobs on your plate, that gap matters. Marnie Stockman, Ed.D., and Nick Coniglio, authors of Lead It Like Lasso, join us to explore how one simple idea from an unlikely coach, “be curious, not judgmental,” can change the way school leaders observe, coach, and support their staff. They make the case that evaluation isn’t a rubric problem. It’s a relationship problem.
