"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 Master the Downey Walk-Through for reflective dialogue
with this must-have sequel! 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 principals,
teachers, and other instructional leaders Now educators can enrich
their professional interchange as they work together to evaluate,
redefine, and strengthen best practices for the classroom!
