These rounds are one of the most significant tools that a school or a district can employ to enhance teachers pedagogical skills and develop a culture of collaboration. The purpose of this approach is to observe teachers and compare their own instructional practices with those of the teachers being observed. Furthermore, the benefit instructional rounds occur at the end of observation when discussions occur among the observing teachers at the end of observation.
This process is supposed to be undertaken a minimum of two years. The facilitation is usually conducted by an individual or educator who is regarded highly as a role model to the teachers or an individual whom they view as a profession. Instructors are assigned to head several rounds and normally are in possession of exceptional skills.
Subjects who are involved in this approach are usually volunteers are usually asked to be part of the process. The teachers are usually selected from a section of dominant teachers who have proven to improve the general ability of the students in their classes. Groups that will be conducting the rounds are usually kept small ranging from three to five teachers. On the day that the activity is to be conducted the teachers should inform their students of visitors to their classes.
Once the visitors arrive, they are required to knock on the door and walk quietly towards the back of a class to a place that doe not disrupt the lesson. Teachers are supposed to watch out for strategies that are of interest to them like how the teacher employs his graphic organizers and the questioning strategies. The observing teachers are supposed to put down a record of what they were able to observe during the ten to fifteen minutes that a round lasts.
The members of the groups are normally expected to meet after the rounds and have a moment to think about their experiences and what they have learnt. A Round robin approach is normally effective to enable the trainers comment on what they have noted. The leader reminds everyone that they are not there for evaluation purposes but rather there are some rules of engagement to be followed.
The reflections made during the whole process are supposed to remain within the group and it should not be shared or discussed with any individual who is not involved in the procedure. In addition, the trainers should not at any given moment give suggestions or comments to an instructor unless they have been requested or asked to.
An observing teachers take turns in commenting and they begin by giving out the positive responses and then give a speculation of what brought out the positive outcome. Then the observer raises some question of concern, the deltas aspect about the observed educators strategy. An observer can chose not to share the analysis with the group at any time.
Towards the end of the procedure the tutors are expected to have recognized skills that they believe to be of prime importance and come up with methods and techniques on how they are going to incorporate these new techniques with their normal styles. The examiners are further expected to equate their normal techniques to the new ones and how they will infuse and maximize the new skills to the fullest.
