An objective reading on how behavior strategies are actually being applied across the school building equips leaders to effectively support staff. Methods for collecting fidelity data include walkthroughs (admin/specialist-led) or learning walks (teachers are involved). The purpose is to obtain a quick, non-evaluative system check across the whole school. Develop a schedule for walkthroughs at regular intervals (e.g., quarterly). When you share the anonymous fidelity data with staff, this is an opportunity for teachers to request coaching.
We recommend using the same observation form that instructional coaches use.
You likely won't have time to use the checkboxes during walkthroughs. Instead, circle whole boxes.
When data is entered into a spreadsheet, teacher names are not recorded. The data is anonymous.
This walkthrough spreadsheet aligns with the tracking spreadsheet for coaches.
This makes walkthroughs and coaching compatible —coaches can take their data and anonymously add it to the walkthrough spreadsheet.
