INSTRUCTIONAL ROUNDS

Contact: Kellie Thompson
This is a significant shift from the traditional teacher-focused walk-through to an honest, professional, learner-centered observation of the instructional core that points to where instruction, content, and students meet. In Instructional Rounds, the observers are the key learners, and they learn by looking at the work or tasks, not at the teachers. Each visit focuses on a pre-identified problem of practice, and after the rounds visits, the school team is left with powerful next steps.
