Instructional Rounds

What are instructional rounds?

Many variations exist in the instructional rounds model.  Our model provides at half day of professional development to each teacher who wishes to participate.  Those teachers meet for a 30 minutes preparatory conversation, then travel to the classrooms of 4 colleagues in varying disciplines lifting out practices working well for students in positive, non-evaluative language.  The visiting group then meets to debrief the experience.  Here is a sample packet each participant would get which details the agenda and captures the note-taking tool as well as the reflective experience.

If the identified dates and times don't pair with your schedule or you have a more specific interest, for example, specifically visit the classes of your team members, reach out to us and we can plan and schedule a more customized learning experience.
