Instructional Rounds in Action
Grounded in the Instructional Rounds protocols from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, this program invites educators to step into classrooms, hone their observational skills, and build shared visions of high-quality teaching and learning within a supportive, teacher-led inquiry network. This program will involve three synchronous Zoom meetings and two full-day site visits to Marin Academy (Nov 9) and Woodside Priory (Nov 10).
