Walk-Throughs
As the administrators continue to do informal walk throughs, , we will continue to look for the following:
- Rigorous DLT's in the correct structure in which the evidence of mastery matches the rigor of the skill being mastered.
- Teachers doing a step back referring back to the DLT, pointing out the College Readiness Skill and reviewing the progression of the agenda which supports its mastery as the class moves forward.
- Teachers ensuring students get the big picture of where they are headed in the learning while also understanding how the day's DLT fits into this big picture. This establishes the "why".
- Students explaining solutions to problems, including warm-up ones, to give teachers insight into their thinking.
- Teachers asking, and students answering, more open ended questions which allow students to expand on their thoughts and ideas.
- Structured collaboration and conversation with assigned roles. Please refer to your "Productive Group Work" book or the handout shared with you during the pre-service days.
- Teachers asking, and students answering, specific questions that will check for student understanding.
