Guest User
A quick perusal of various professional journals and posts makes apparent there are almost as many instructional models being implemented now as there are school districts! What’s a leader to do to ensure sound instruction no matter where it is occurring?
The New Leaders group recently published Virtual Look-Fors for School Leaders: Supporting Instruction During COVID-19 Online & Remote Learning. It’s a comprehensive document, divided into three areas:
Content Look-Fors
Teacher Look-Fors
Student Look-Fors
These look-fors are also quite applicable to non-virtual instruction.
Furthermore, it is a Google document, so leaders are able to make electronic copies for immediate use. An added bonus is the document provides low-inference (objective) data to provide feedback to the teacher and to differentiate support. Indeed, this two-page document is a powerful resource as leaders navigate classroom observations and feedback in multiple instructional settings!
