nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
Dr. Seuss

Why Instructional Rounds ?

What does Instructional Rounds mean for Kunyung?
• Based on evidence rather than judgement / Set in the descriptive voice – What is that?
Activity: Identify the descriptive and judgemental comments
• A real focus not a grab bag: looking only at what the school has identified as a problem of practice
• Not a teacher evaluation tool or assessment of individual teachers – in Rounds you are separating the person from the practice and focusing on the practice. LOOK down not UP

The Instructional Core“ You don’t change performance without changing the instructional core. The relationship of the teacher and the student in the presence of content must be at the centre of all efforts to improve performance.” Elmore 2007.
Instructional Core = teachers and students working together in the presence of content.

The Instructional Rounds Process Developing a culture
As a network it is necessary to set up a coherent, contributing collaborative culture to operate powerfully and collegiately. This is achieved by setting clear expectations, protocols and norms.

Problem of PracticeProblem is a scientific term and neutral
The Problem of Practice provides a lens to what you want to observe.
• it is directly observable• focuses on the Instructional Core• is actionable – is in the school’s control and can be improved in
real time.• connects to a broader strategy or ‘A Theory of Action’ e.g. the
School Strategic Plan / AIP
At our school, the Problem of Practice will be developed by the whole school
