There are those that don’t understand the power of reflective
observation. They mistakenly
believe that there is nothing to learn after a few cursory visits to a
classroom. Nothing could be
further from the truth. In fact,
the most important key to building insight and deeper understanding about
teaching and learning is to engage in a steady volume of daily classroom
observation. What we have learned
over the past ten years is that after about every 300 classroom observations,
the observer will notice, discern, and/or learn something new... something that
was previously hidden. It is the “Eureka” moment, and there is nothing else
like it in instructional leadership.
In this pursuit, there is the PowerWalks Legendary Leadership
Badge that is earned every 300th PowerWalks Observation. The
following instructional leaders have already earned the Legendary Leadership
Badge for the 2016/2017 school year (as of 10/31/16).
