Classroom Walk-throughs are a powerful tool to gauge the impact of instructional practice on student learning. Teachers can use Walk-throughs to coach each other and inform planning; administrators can use Walk-throughs to stay connected to what teachers and students are doing in the classroom. In this institute learn how to look for observable evidence of teaching practice and learning results to support inquiry and improvement.
