Description
How can leaders effectively tackle instruction in schools where everything needs fixing? In this 1-hour course, JL Hinds Consulting’s John Hinds dives deep into the realities of instructional leadership in turnaround schools. Hinds explains why instruction isn’t the first focus—but still vital—and introduces practical steps for assessing, improving, and systemizing instructional quality when chaos is the norm.
Drawing inspiration from the book Instructional Rounds, this course challenges traditional thinking by encouraging leaders to identify root issues before jumping to solutions. From prioritizing reading levels to using tools like T-TESS and pre-Halloween observations, John offers real-world systems and mindsets to guide instructional improvement in high-need schools.
In this 1-hour course, you will discover:
- Why instruction is ranked #7 in turnaround priorities
- How to assess instructional quality using practical walkthrough strategies
- Ways to support special populations through systemized program support
- How to use the T-TESS rubric to have more effective teacher evaluations
- The value of getting formal observations done early in the school year
