In 2004, The Three-Minute Classroom Walk-Through introduced educators to the Downey Walk-Through, a practical approach to coaching and supervision that is now widely accepted and used. Offering an expanded examination of the Downey Walk-Through, this sequel to the bestseller focuses on the second part of the walk-through-the reflective follow-up conversation-and clarifies many of the common misconceptions and misapplications of the approach.
The authors illustrate how leaders can use observations from the walk-through to engage in professional conversations and encourage teachers to reflect on and improve their practice. Offering extended examples, activities, and guidelines for changing schools one teacher at a time, this resource shows school leaders how to:
- Provide effective follow-up discourse without criticizing or demoralizing teachers
- Build collegial and respectful relationships with faculty members
- Help teachers see their power to become continuously improving professionals
- Foster a collaborative process between headteachers, teachers, and other instructional leaders.
