Instructional Rounds
Instructional Rounds (IR) is a networked approach to learning and leading change. It is based on the research of City, Elmore, Fiarman and Teital. Each round follows a set process and allows our school to set a problem of practice, engage in professional reading, make observations without judgement, develop findings and propose recommendations. The process allows our teachers to work collaboratively with other schools to research and discuss cutting edge teaching methods, learning techniques and strategies that can be embedded into our classroom practise. Teachers involved see this practice in action by watching other teachers teach. We have been part of this process for over 4 years and by collaborating and sharing techniques with our IR colleagues we have been able to bring our school confidently into the 21stC.
