Reflective Dialogs

This week, I began conducting classroom walkthroughs at Allen Academy.  The data from these walkthroughs are used to create a basis for reflective dialogs with the faculty members.  The model for this process comes from the work of Dr. Carolyn Downey (see Three-Minute Classroom Walkthrough).  After conducting the walkthrough, I craft a reflective question for the teacher which is intended to stimulate a dialog with the teacher about the instructional decisions that were made during planning and implementing the lesson.
