     The dialogue that ensues is designed to bring about clarity for both parties. It is also an avenue to address the teacher’s areas of concern, to which the administrator would offer helpful ideas. The more clarity achieved during this process will translate to greater gains as a result of the observation and post-observation process -- making the final write-up (BPSS, n.d.) during the post-observation part of the process easier to perform.
