**Instructional Supervision Look-Fors (Dave Montague, 2006-2007)**

 * Are you what your schedule says you should be teaching?
 * Are you using the curricula selected by our school?
 * Are you starting on time and teaching the whole hour?
 * Are all students engaged in what you are teaching all the time?
 * Are you instructing students or are students working individually?
 * If kids are working individually, what are you doing?
 * If kids are using felt pens, crayons, scissors, etc., are they spending more time on the artwork than on the subject being taught?
 * Are the para-eds working with kids the whole time?
 * When teaching reading, math, writing and science, are you following the building-wide procedures?

**How do you plan to introduce Learning Walk Look Fors with your staff?**

 * How will you dialogue with teachers and provide feedback after Learning Walks?**

Carol reports that using the new Look For form has prompted two teachers to seek out interaction proactively**.**


 * Considerations:**

Should the look for form be customized per building for each year, changing focus from year to year. Why are teachers distrustful of the use of the walk through? Perhaps we need to be more clear about what we expect and what exactly we are looking for. It makes sense for the buildings that are implementing Imagine It to have that as the focus of the look for.

Consider asking the teachers during meeting what their feelings/opinions of the walk through. Ask what the comfort level with the walk through, is it helpful? If not comfortable, what causes the discomfort?
