Change the entire school culture with this collaborative method of supervision.

For years, the classic supervision model has frustrated both principals and teachers by fostering superior-subordinate relationships, focusing on teacher conformity rather than growth, or producing checklist data that is irrelevant to the curriculum. The Three-Minute Classroom Walk-Through offers a practical, time-saving alternative that impacts student achievement by cultivating self-reliant teachers who are continuously improving their practice.

Easy to understand and adopt, this method will answer the questions most important to principals:

Is the work of my teachers aligned with the district curriculum? Are my teachers using research-based "best practices"? Are they choosing the instructional strategies that will promote student achievement?

Also known as the Downey Walk-through, the method presented in The Three-Minute Classroom Walk-Through has been developed over a 40-year period, tested and refined in actual teaching environments, and taught internationally.

3-Minute Walk Through book review

I bought this book for a graduate course I am taking. It will be very helpful to me as I continue to conduct walk-throughs of teachers' classrooms.

A Thorough Introduction to the Classroom Walkthrough

The Thee-Minute Classroom Walk through is a thorough introduction to the philosophy and implementation of this type of classroom supervision. The authors advocate using many visits to each classroom every year to develop a picture of education in the classroom and in the school. The book also promotes a collaborative approach to classroom supervision, one in which the teacher reflects on instructional and curricular decisions and then plans for improvement. The classroom supervisor becomes a facilitator for such reflection.

Th e Three-Minute Walk- Through

I was expecting something less technical and more user friendly. I will have to devote some time to reading this in the summer and then perhaps implement next year.
