Presenters are experienced administrators who will offer practical strategies for learning walks to foster a collective and authentic process to improve student performance.
Questions the workshop will address include:

  1. What teaching practices promote higher-order thinking?
  2. How can a common language for describing instructional practice result in quality instruction?
  3. What reflective conversations among administrators and supervisors can result in a better focus and alignment of efforts?
