Instructional Assistance Conference Guidelines
1. The Instructional Assistance Conference is a professional conversation between the
teacher and the principal to identify specific areas of concern coupled with suggested
action to be taken to assist the teacher in helping students achieve learning gains.
2. The conference should produce collaborative ideas for suggested actions to assist the
teacher.
3. This type of collaborative professional activity is meant to be used with teachers who
may need assistance in targeted areas.
4. Monitoring is informal; however, an initial meeting and exit meeting are required.
5. Once strategies are defined, the teacher is provided support personnel who are
available to assist in the successful completion of the strategies. One action step will be
to name persons designated to assist the teacher as needed with items noted on the
Instructional Assistance Conference Form.
