Advancing the Three-Minute Walk-Through - Mastering Reflective Practice (Paperback)

'This book provides the most informed and transformative blueprint known for building the capacity of teacher coaches and supervisors. Districts across Texas are using the Downey Walk-Through to break through the barrier of the isolated classroom and provide a platform for improved dialogue about teaching and learning' - Susan P. Holley, Associate Executive Director, Texas Association of School Administrators 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.
