Use The Walkthrough Model Trusted
By More Than 15,000 K-12 Leaders

In Now We're Talking! 21 Days to High-Performance Instructional Leadership, you'll learn how to conduct sustainable, high-impact classroom walkthroughs that are:

  1. Frequent—18 biweekly visits per teacher per year
  2. Brief—around five to fifteen minutes
  3. Substantive—more than just making an appearance
  4. Open-ended—focused on the teacher’s instructional decision-making, not just narrow data collection
  5. Evidence-based—centered on what actually happens in the classroom
  6. Criterion-referenced—linked to a shared set of expectations
  7. Conversation-oriented—designed to lead to rich conversations between teachers and instructional leaders

We'll send you a copy—plus give you immediate access to the audiobook—when you take the Instructional Leadership Challenge.
