Learning Walks: Principals, Let’s Focus our Literacy Lens (Pathway 3)
Learn More
This service is designed to support principals in mastering impactful literacy instruction by focusing on high-leverage "look-fors" that identify key indicators of effective teaching. Principals will learn how to observe classroom practices, engage in meaningful follow-up conversations with individual teachers, and use emerging themes from these observations to inform professional learning opportunities.
By leveraging these insights, principals can create targeted professional development that directly elevates classroom instruction, drives student achievement, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement in literacy practices across the school.
