Reviews of Instructional Rounds in Education

From The School Administrator:

“Most districts struggle with how to tackle the traditional norms of privacy and isolation in teaching, while providing coherent and useful guidance and support for new instructional practices. This book includes practical advice for how leaders can achieve the right mix of consistency and creativity using nonthreatening and collaborative processes.”
—excerpt from book review in The School Administrator, January 2010

From Teachers College Record:

“Instructional Rounds in Education: A Network Approach to Improving Teaching and Learning shifts the professional learning community focus to administrators, thereby pushing district leaders to network with colleagues to improve practice and rethink the instructional evaluation process.”
—excerpt from book review in Teachers College Record, September 2009

From Book News:

“In instructional rounds, groups of teachers and administrators observe classrooms, focus on a specific problem, analyze and discuss the instruction, and recommend improvements, and here the authors outline the process of planning, organizing, facilitating, implementing, and reflecting on the rounds.”
