The Three-Minute Walk Through

All of our training opportunities are site-specific. That is, the content is tailored to the expressed needs of the participants, and it is delivered to your site.

This exciting approach to supervision makes a powerful impact on student achievement, teaching, and supervisor/teacher relations.

The two-day training combines interactive approaches and practicum-style activities, during which time participants interact extensively with the instructor and each other and visit real classrooms.

The skills and information you will learn in this training include:

• How the Walk Through observation structure is implemented
• How the Walk Through and accompanying reflective conversations work with the appraisal process
• How the underlying premises of the approach, which is informal and non-judgmental in nature, focus on the development of staff through reflective choice
• How the reflective conversation and question complements the classroom walk-throughs
• How reflective questions are phrased
• How dynamic, new “reflective conversation dialogues” are conducted
• How frequent classroom visitations and the walk-through process are supported by a strong research base.
