Ashley, that was a great idea. If your administrator does not have the time to teach a lesson, perhaps he or she could:
(step 1.) recommend another teacher to teach a lesson while you observe. (step 2 & 3) Then, be sure to take notes, ask that teacher questions, and then (Step 4)follow up with that administrator and let them know what you’ve done to “grow/learn” to handle the objective better.
(Step 5:) if the administrator is unwilling to do a demo lesson, ask them or a mentor teacher of their choice role play a lesson or situation with you and then BOTH of you give feedback to each other.
Remember, its the education of the child that is paramount, not your own ego. Noone starts out knowing how to teach from the get-go. Its a learning process for all involved. Sometimes the child is the learner, sometimes THEY are the teacher. Most days, I am amazed at all that I have learned from the students/ teachers I work with. Sometimes its not all positive things either. A good habit is to have reflection time with a mentor and yourself on what went well that day, what did not, then how can you improve, or remember and reuse the awesome things you have seen or done.

The article suggested that you grow by being open-minded. Years of teaching does not correlate to being the “know it all”! Education, just like everything else is evolving and we as educators must also evolve or get left behind!

This way one of you or both of you may learn something.
