Observation Tip #3 - Rebuttal Time
OBSERVATION TIP #3—REBUTTAL TIME
As first formal observations are rolling out, I cannot stress enough the importance of writing a REBUTTAL to your observation if you are dissatisfied with ANY part of it. Sometimes, you like the overall score, but don't like one of the ratings. Do NOT let that go!
You have ten work days after the receipt of your ratings via a post-observation conference to submit your rebuttal. If you do not submit a rebuttal, then you are telling your admin and NPS that you AGREE with the rating.
