I'm so sorry that I haven't blogged in so long. I've been so busy! My son just had his first communion. I was so proud!! At school, we have been implementing instructional rounds (based on Robert Marzano's research). It's been quite a task creating groups for the rounds and scheduling classrooms to visit in the building. It is amazing what can be learned by going into classrooms and seeing what is being done throughout the building. It will really inspire you. I feel like Pinterest is a also type of instructional round. I have learned a lot by just going through Pinterest and "looking" into other teachers classrooms. Try implementing instructional rounds in your building. It is truly a building collaboration that will result in higher student achievement.
Just sharing my learning! Hope you enjoy!
