Why Teachers and Administrators Should Team Up for Walkthroughs

Administrators and teachers traditionally don’t collaborate with one another on walkthroughs. This feeds the perception that walkthroughs have a solely evaluative purpose, and creates barriers to collaborative professional learning in schools, says Nancy Frey.

Instead of getting button-holed into discrete roles, “administrators and teachers, together, can provide so much insight into what they’re seeing in the classroom,” adds Frey.

Teacher walk throughs are a great way for teachers to know what's happening in each other's classrooms and learn from each other. I love that idea!

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
