CCPS Instructional Audit Initial Reflections
Overview/General Thoughts • Met with faculty in small group teams at the beginning of the school year. • Shared the tool and rubric. • Discussed the use of the data (non-evaluative) and plans for sharing the data with our faculty and other stakeholder groups. • Our plan for sharing the data includes: • SIP Milestone Data • More general, broad-stroke data shared with teams regarding audit performance. • Shared our goal for completing at least two audits per day.
Logistics • Completing the entire audit during each classroom visit • Another option would be to look at only one of the four domains on a specific week/time period. • When possible, focus on a grade-level at a time • When coordinators/facilitators arrive, we ask them to join us for an instructional audit as often as possible • Marking evident vs. not-evident
Reflections • Collaborating with building-level administrators as well as coordinators/facilitators gives us an opportunity to calibrate our expectations for what good instruction should look like. • The conversations are focused on instructional practices and allow us to be a witness to the good. • Generic feedback has been given to grade-level teams regarding the audit completion (i.e., “We observed the following best practices at work in your classrooms….”)
