A2 The goal is that everyone is providing the best and most engaging strategies for our scholars. Frequent observations and instructional rounds help all to learn from each other. The Best PD is found on your campus. This month we've done 218 IR's #PrincipalOfficeHours

A2. I look for the easy engagement: eyes up, notes, student-to-student conversation. The more experienced the teacher, the less I look for their strategies and the more I look for kids doing it themselves. #PrincipalOfficeHours

✨ Look-fors: Authentic interactions—are all students conversing, collaborating, sharing ideas with peers and teachers? Who’s participating? Who isn’t? These moments reveal true classroom climate. #PrincipalOfficeHours @PrincipalProj

Q2:A2: I love to see students engaging with each other in academic conversations. Teachers providing feedback and scaffolding as necessary to meet the needs of all learners. #PrincipalOfficeHours

A2. Students should see clear objectives, use grade-level materials with the right supports, and engage in discussion and tasks. I expect intentional teacher moves and classmates learning together. #PrincipalOfficeHours

Sharing the Model Classroom Checklist I created to strengthen collective efficacy & provide structure as a framework to support new teachers. When educators thrive with clarity and consistency, students succeed.🌟#PrincipalOfficeHours #InstructionalFramework #TeachingWithPurpose

I look for grouping or straight rows. Do ALL students have opportunities to interact with their peers!

First, as leaders, do we know those students? Have we formed a connection with them? Are we knowledgeable of their supports and services? The answers to these questions help us lean into what we see in the classroom. #PrincipalOfficeHours
