Structured Classroom Walkthrough Feedback Tool
Monday we will begin to provide teachers with instructional feedback of classroom instructional practices. Please make sure that daily lesson plans are posted near your classroom door and that your board configuration contains the non-negotiables that have been communicated by administration. Below is a link of the revised classroom walk through form. Adjustments have been made based on our 2 common school-wide PDP goals and feedback from our learning community. The tool has been adapted from Boston Collegiate Charter School. Please don't hesitate to contact your grade level administrator, content area support or me if you have questions about the walk through tool.
