The Principal Center - Building Capacity for Instructional Leadership

Thank you for requesting the Classroom Visit Index Cards!

Important—here's how to use the notecards, which should arrive in your inbox momentarily:

  1. Have your admin assistant write out one card for each teacher, and keep the cards in a stack
  2. Every day, have your admin assistant hand you the top 3 cards from the stack. These are the teachers to visit for the day. 
  3. Note the date and subject/period of your visit on each card, as you visit and talk with each teacher.
  4. Put these three cards on the bottom of the stack at the end of the day.
  5. If you miss someone, put their card on the top of the stack so you can try again tomorrow.

Here's how one of our members prepared the notecards with teacher schedules, following the 3-a-day plan I outline in Now We're Talking! 21 Days to High-Performance Instructional Leadership:

Now, I don't want anything to keep you from getting into classrooms, so I want to make this very easy...

From The Director

Justin Baeder, PhD

Director, The Principal Center

I believe that being a school administrator is one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs in the world. We have the opportunity to impact students' lives forever—but so much can get in the way. There's too much to do, too many challenges to manage, and never enough time.

Our mission at The Principal Center is to help you address each of these barriers by building your school's capacity for instructional leadership.

If you want to take your leadership—and your school—to the next level, I hope you'll join us.

Sincerely,

Justin Baeder, PhD
