Description

High-quality instruction is a shared goal for educators and schools in the United States. However, variability among classrooms remains high compared to other industrialized countries. This book explores a new approach to professional learning called instructional rounds networks, inspired by medical rounds models used by physicians. Educators develop a shared practice of observing, discussing, and analyzing learning and teaching through this process. The authors aim to help education leaders and practitioners understand what high-quality instruction looks like and how schools can support it. By adopting this network approach, educators can work together to improve teaching and learning in every classroom for every child. By examining the instructional rounds model, readers will gain insights into a new form of professional development that fosters collaboration and continuous improvement among educators.
