Riassunto

Master the Downey Walk-Through for reflective dialogue with this must-have sequel!

This sequel to the best-selling The Three-Minute Classroom Walk-Through gives school leaders an expanded examination of the Downey Walk-Through model of coaching and supervision. Clarifying common misconceptions and misapplications, the authors focus on how to engage teachers in reflection and professional dialogue after the walk-through to improve their practice. The resource provides examples, activities, and guidelines for changing schools one teacher at a time, and shows leaders how to: 

• Provide effective follow-up discourse without criticizing or demoralizing teachers
• Build collegial relationships with staff 
• Help teachers see their power to become continuously improving professionals
