In the Instructional Leadership Association, you'll get everything you need to implement the kind of classroom walkthroughs Dr. Justin Baeder describes in Now We're Talking! 21 Days to High-Performance Instructional Leadership:

1. Frequent—18 biweekly visits per teacher per year
2. Brief—around five to fifteen minutes
3. Substantive—more than just making an appearance
4. Open-ended—focused on the teacher’s instructional decision-making, not just narrow data collection
5. Evidence-based—centered on what actually happens in the classroom
6. Criterion-referenced—linked to a shared set of expectations
7. Conversation-oriented—designed to lead to rich conversations between teachers and instructional leaders

Use the Classroom Walkthrough Schedule Generator to build a realistic, sustainable schedule that gets you into classrooms—with plenty of flexibility to handle interruptions and emergencies. 

Plan your visits (Excel and Google Sheets versions included), then add them directly to your Google, Outlook, or Office365 calendar.

3-Cycle Startup Plan

($29 value)

Teachers often become alarmed when leaders start getting into classrooms more often:
"Why are you here?"
"Am I being singled out?"
"Is this part of my evaluation?" 

In the 3-Cycle Startup Plan, you'll discover how to build trust and make teachers feel good about your visits—no fear, no panic, and no grievances. 

You'll ramp up your visits gradually, over three cycles of visits to each teacher you supervise, so no one feels singled out, and no one feels like you're out to get them. 

Classroom Walkthrough Tracker

($19 value)

The Classroom Walkthrough Tracker will help you stay on track with two key aspects of your classroom visits:

1. Ensuring that you don't miss anyone

2. Getting into the habit of visiting three classrooms a day, every day

The Tracker will guide you through your first three cycles of visits—use it to get started, and when school resumes after every break. 

The Tracker is also the fastest way to get started—just print it on a single sheet of paper and go get into classrooms! 

Classroom Walkthrough Schedule Generator

($29 value)

You'll never "find" time to get into classrooms. You have to make time. 

The Classroom Walkthrough Schedule Generator features an interactive quiz that will guide you to the right plan based on your master schedule (elementary vs. secondary) and how often you're interrupted. 

Then, you can use the spreadsheet (Google Sheets & Excel) to rapidly schedule specific times on your calendar (Google, Outlook, or Office365) with one click. 

Teacher Schedule & Visit Record Index Cards

($19 value)

Finding the best time to visit each teacher is tricky, because everyone has a different schedule—plus, you need to find time to talk afterward. 

The solution is to keep each teacher's schedule at your fingertips with our Teacher Schedule & Visit Record Index Cards. They're trusted by more than 33,507 school leaders in 50 countries around the world, because they're so simple and reliable. 

Keep them in a stack, and take the top 3 cards each day. Visit those teachers when your schedules align, jot the date, and return the cards to the bottom of the stack. 

Absent teacher? Miss someone? Put their card back on top for tomorrow., and you'll always stay on track—without missing anyone. 

Teacher Evaluation Organizer

($27 value)

How can you keep track of every stage of the teacher evaluation process—especially if you have a complicated process or a large staff? 

Our Organizer spreadsheet (Google Sheets & Excel) allows you to quickly customize up to 50 steps in your walkthrough, observation, and evaluation process, for unlimited staff. 

Tired of getting lost in big spreadsheets? Staff names and column headers are pinned in place so they always remain in view. Tip: Use Google Sheets to share with your admin team.

Classroom Walkthrough Interruption Matrix

($19 value)

Not all issues are emergencies, and not everything that comes up should interrupt your classroom walkthroughs. 

Get on the same page with your office staff about dozens of common interruptions, using the Classroom Walkthrough Interruption Matrix.

Should they call you? Wait till you're done in classrooms? Handle it without you? Decide in advance, so you can anticipate common events that would otherwise derail your time in classrooms. 

7 Keys To Sustainable Impact

($49 value)

What should you include in your walkthroughs?

Make them too complicated, and they become unsustainable. 

Make them too casual, and they won't have an impact. 

There's a sweet spot, and in the 7 Keys to Sustainable Impact training, you'll learn how to conduct classroom walkthroughs that maximize your impact, while remaining simple and sustainable. 

Communication Scripts

($19 value)

What should you announce about your walkthroughs—before you start, and after people have started to see a pattern? 

Don't start with a big announcement or grand promises. But after you've visited everyone twice, there's a specific message to send so people don't doubt your intentions or worry you're out to get them. 

You'll also get specific language you can use to answer questions from students and staff. 

Feedback Phrase Bank

($19 value)

Finding the right words for a tricky situation is never easy. In the Feedback Phrase Bank, you'll get sentence-starters and sample language to use for:

• Introducing a difficult topic
• Clarifying a concern
• Setting expectations
• Getting teachers to reflect on their practice

..and more, so you'll always know what to say.
