A three-minute classroom visit does not sound like a lot of time to assess curriculum, a teacher’s pacing, and students’ impressions of their lessons. But string those three-minute snapshots together over a whole year, some administrators maintain, and you get a bigger, clearer picture of what is going on in classrooms. Called three-minute walkthroughs, these informal, non-evaluative classroom visits by administrators can lead to improved instructional practices and curriculum alignment.
The walk-throughs also provide feedback for teachers and can help determine, what, if any, assistance they could use. And while it took a little while for teachers to acclimate to walk-throughs, now most seem to see the value in them.
